    I had one from that time, maybe the same year. It was called "Soccer Stars" I think. Used to buy packets then swap duplicates at school etc.

    Happy days. My Grandad used to buy me some packets. It would have been in Shillings at that time. It seems more like Victorian England when compared to today but these things still exist. Now, it's 5 cards for £1. Completing an album costs £100's.

    In the late 70s / early 80s, some rich kid at school got enough money
    from daddy to buy almost an entire sticker box from a newsagents.
    Was amazing to see the scam (how many packets he had to open to
    get the full set) .

    I cannot remember which players had the most duplicates, other than
    they seemed to be players nobody had heard of.

    Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has agreed a new two-year contract, extending his 21-year reign at the club.

    Not enough popcorn on earth.

    Robbie Lyle, founder of Arsenal FanTV, was unavailable for comment. Rumours that he is currently recruiting a whole new team of accountants to help him count next season's advertising income are, as yet, unsubstantiated.

    I knew that Antonio Conte was a very good tactical manager, but I didn't realise quite how well he plays the long game.
    Lose a cup final to screw up a rival team for two seasons? That's impressive.

    We wanted it. They wanted it. The PL top 7 wanted it.
    Say what you want, but Wenger has delivered this week.

    To be honest, i think this is the best transfer signing for any non arsenal fans. Hell even non football fans can jump on this as Arsenal Fan TV will ramp up to the next level

    Riyad Mahrez has asked to leave Leicester.

    Good player but struggled last season. Be interesting to see where he ends up.

    From Riyadh Mahrez:

    "Out of the huge admiration and respect I hold for Leicester City, I have scarcely tried this season whilst pulling in £100k pw. I am now ****ing off somewhere else to earn a lot more."

    The hypocrisy of footballers!
