Arsenal v West Ham United - LIVE!!!!

19:45 kick off.
The Emirates Stadium.
Not live on BT Sport but available on all the usual streaming sites I'm sure.


Tonights game coincides with the 30th anniversary of our Littlewoods Cup triumph of 1987. A wonderful game wherein we came from behind to lift the trophy. Charlie Nicholas got both our goals, the second wonderfully created by Perry Groves - whom Alan Hansen admitted to being terrified of. Ian Rush scored the opener, and it was the first time he had and Liverpool lost!
It was a first trophy for a number of Arsenal legends, such as Tony Adams and David Rocastle - but more prestigious ones were just around the corner.

Sadly no trophies are up for grabs tonight, but we meet a West Ham side in even worse form than us. 4 defeats on the bounce, and 6 without a win for the Essex lads. But they will probably have Andy Carroll, who hardly has to break sweat to score against us.

We won the reverse fixture at a canter. An Alexis Sanchez was the inspiration, and Mesut Ozil and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain also netted. Andy Carroll, of course, scored for the Hammers as the game ended 5-1 to Arsenal.
