The Town are back in North London tonight when we take on the Gunners. They will leapfrog Liverpool with a win to go top of the League. Who knows what team Luton will field but be assured they will give their all. COYH! Arsenal Trivia. We have something in common with the Gunners.......an iconic clock, our SKF clock now in storage somewhere ready for it's move to Power Court, and Arsenals clock from Highbury which now sits high up outside the Emirates Stadium.    |

Trivia - Thanks to google and copy and paste
Arsenal was originally formed by a group of workers at the Woolwich Arsenal Armament Factory in 1886. The club was first named 'Dial Square' as a nod to the factory's sundial.
The iconic Highbury Stadium, Arsenal’s home ground until 2006, had a rather unusual feature – a set of flats in one of its corners. This architectural quirk meant that some residents had a unique view of the games from their own homes.
Arsenal’s famous red shirts with white sleeves were introduced by legendary manager Herbert Chapman in 1933. Uniquely, this design was inspired by a similar kit worn by London’s tramway workers, making it a nod to the city’s working-class roots.
In another first, Arsenal’s match against Sheffield United in 1927 was the first English football match to be broadcast live on the radio. This marked a significant step in bringing football to the masses.

One can say 'only 2 nil' one of which was an own goal, so not too but but we lost again. That's 10 matches since a win.
Bright spots for me were Chong who gets better and better as his confidence grows and Fred who really couldn't have expected playing in the Premier League. Mendi and Barkley will probably find homes in a less struggling team.
