Arsenal Song

It's also likely to do with the fact that yonks ago they kept replaying a FA Cup tie with Sheffield Wednesday ( I think ) at Leicester, Filbert Street being a neutral venue, as they had drawn both home and away. I think they played at Filbert Street three times in the space of something like seven days. A gooner mate of mine went to all games. He reckons he knows the fair City of Leicester better than some parts of Highbury.

That's right. Second, third and fourth replays of their 3rd round tie - Monday/Wednesday/Monday in the middle of January 1979. And that was only 4 years after they visited Filbert Street twice in a week for 5th round replay and second replay.

Arsenal fans of the late 70s certainly knew their way to Leicester.
