Arsenal's famous Highbury Clock has finally been brought back to the Emirates thanks to the continued 'Arsenalisation' work at the stadium.

The iconic clock, which was erected in the early 1930s by the then-manager Herbert Chapman, will expected to be in place for the start of the Emirates Cup at the end of the month.

As I wrote here, the Chilean World Cup shirt is sponsored by Brooks. The shirt has been officially presented to the public. According to this site, Brooks Sports, Inc. was founded in 1914 by Morris Goldenberg and is a company that produces high performance shoes, soccer and running apparel. Brooks originally produced bathing shoes in 1917 before moving into sports by producing baseball cleats in 1920 and football boots in the 1930s.

By Tony Attwood 1. My father was an Arsenal fan in the 1930s and he saw the greatest team the country had ever produced. I grew up supporting Arsenal during one of their lean spells when year after year we not only won nothing, we never once looked like winning anything. As a teenager I wondered why [.

In this week's installment of Friday Flashback Videos, we continue out journey through 1970s English football by landing on the 1971-72 season and taking us from August until the end of the season.

As usual, there is so much to watch and so many observations that can be made of how different the game was back then versus now.

A couple of weeks ago, hidden away in the news section of their website, Southern League club Cambridge City finally confirmed their farewell from Milton Road, the club's home since 1922. The battle for Milton Road has been ongoing for several years now and is a wearyingly familiar story of a prime piece of city centre real estate being wrested from the ownership from a small football club with little thought for anything but making a profit.

We've not done one of these in AGES so here is another addition to our footballing lexicon the 'Trequartista'.

A trequartista is a term coined for that mythical 'second striker' role, someone who plays in the hole, creates and scores, and is usually supremely gifted.

The Trequartista is not a new advent:

The Austrian 'Wunderteam' of the early 1930s had great success with Mathias Sindelar, a centre-forward who constantly dropped deep, and Vsevolod Bobrov did similarly for the Dynamo Moscow tourists who so delighted British crowds in 1945.

WORLD Cup Photos: The Netherlands (that's Holland to you) made it two wins in two matches with a 1-0 victory over Japan at the Durban Stadium. It was a tight match. But we think the Dutchman dressed a 1930s lift operator fascist Italy (picture 6) saw off the challenge of the three Japanese dressed as menstrual skittles (picture 3).

Arsenal have been around almost 125 years now. I've been a season ticket holder for the last sixteen of those. In terms of success, I could hardly have chosen a better sixteen years in the club's history. What Wenger has done for Arsenal is comparable to what Chapman achieved in the 1930s of that, there is no doubt.

For this week's installment of Friday Flashback Videos, we head back to 1992 when Arsenal went to North Wales to play Wrexham in the FA Cup at the Racecourse Ground.

At the time, Arsenal were second in the top flight of English football while Wrexham were 24th in the Third Division, which is the today's equivalent of League One.

In this week's installment of Friday Flashback Videos, we take you back to the 1974-75 season for a then glamor tie between Stoke City and Leeds United. The video features the first ten minutes of the broadcast and is hosted by the legendary soccer commentator Brian Moore.

Feel free to post your observations about the game in the comments section below.

Next week England plays France in a friendly at Wembley. Everything about the new England team looks classy. The world-class stadium, the picture-perfect England kits and the footballers, or should we say millionaires, who grace the pitch and who are managed by a suave Italian dressed in the finest suit.

If you asked me what was one of the best clubs teams I've ever seen, it has to be Liverpool from the late 70s and early 80s. A perfect example of this is the above video featuring Liverpool's incredible 7-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur during the 1978-79 season.

Out of the seven goals scored, the last is the best.

Thirty years since John Lennon was killed in New York.
Football and Music has more on the relationship between The Beatles and football - turns out they weren't all that bothered. Although there is also a suggestion that Brian Epstein told them not to make their allegiances clear to avoid upsetting the red or blue sides of Liverpool.

Instead of showing footage of matches from yesteryear as I usually do every Friday, I thought I'd share a selection of videos about one of my favorite hobbies from childhood in the United Kingdom. The table soccer game called Subbuteo.

In the above commercial (presumably from the 1960′s), it captures the excitement of a young boy playing Subbuteo and imagining that he's playing like the professionals.
