It is hard to find any interesting video about Arsenal on this day so I’m offering something else instead.

Those of us of a very distinctly senior vintage will probably agree that ITV never really liked Arsenal, preferring to show any other club on their TV programmes in preference to Arsenal.  Indeed the fact that their football show from 1985 to 1992 was called “Saint and Greavsie” gives a clue as to just how deep this anti-Arsenal view was.

So it is no surprise that their TV programme about the 1970/1 season (see the video below) contains very little Arsenal – despite the fact that this was the season in which we won the first Double.

I think it is fair to say that in this video you would have no idea Arsenal did anything of interest – at least until the last few minutes.
