Goodbye to Goodison

arsenal 7 Everton 0 2004/5

As that game was at Highbury and not Goodison maybe Everton 1 Arsenal 6 2009/10 would be more appropriate.

….nice touch from Arsenal, like to know what it says on the shirt;

Maybe it says something about Woolwich Arsenal as that's what they were known by in 1905? We won the first game 1-0

…I think it would capture that. Actually wonder if Arteta was behind the gesture, it’s certainly a classy thing to do.

The club specifically asked for the game to be that weekend with a view to it being on TV. They didn't want it overshadowing by the normal final day stuff because they wanted it to be the focus of the whole football media. They'll be raging if they play second fiddle to a single player.

The club don't get to decide if they'll be on TV.
There's 4 more attractive games on than ours that day.
At least with West Ham v Utd both were playing for something i.e. European spots.

Would be good to have had one in the derby signed by both teams then sold off for charity

But instead they did what they always do and made everything about them.

Yes. I said with a view to it being on tv not that we’d decided it would be on tv. We don’t even know what games are on that weekend yet either because we don’t know who’s in the cup final. But apart from all that another good post mate, keep it up.
