This is a man called Danny Bassett - I don’t have a better picture of him. I didn’t even know his second name until recently.
He stood a couple of rows behind me at the Emirates. Always topless and always bringing the energy. We’d hug when we scored and shake hands and have a quick chat if we won.
Beyond that, we didn’t know each other at all, but he was part of my Arsenal experience for close to a decade.
Danny died suddenly last summer and he didn’t get to experience this season. I thought about him a lot today. I hope you enjoyed it mate. You’re missed.
Also huge congratulations to @_RyanDarby on reaching 300 appearance for the club! Coming up with important goals through that time and making some huge saves again today!
It’s great to be back to winning ways, complete control from the start and what a difference having a full squad makes! Hard work and graft, along with Joe Hennem landing from New York at 9:30 to turn up and bag a hat trick!

For a Young 23 year old English footballer to be vilified, bullied, embarrassed and totally strip down at a time when you’re meant to be celebrating a transfer worth £55 million. Yes a young kid with a dream about to secure a £55 million dream move to a club of his desire leaving a rival at that to be treated in this manner via section of the Arsenal fan base is an utter disgrace. Just put yourself in his shoes for one minute just put yourself in his parents shoes for one minute and just think of how that feeling must be. I’ll say it again, at a time as a player as a human as a family you should be celebrating. I just hope the people that are closest to him are around him and supporting him in the way that he needs right now.
It’s fine for fans to disagree with signings or decisions made at their football club but the way some fans have publicly voiced their opinions and those who have gone a step further in publicly joining a petition for this player not to be signed by their football club is beyond me. I have never seen anything like this before, and I hope I don’t ever again. Like I said earlier just imagine this was your best friend, one of your family members, your brother, son…then tell me how would you feel if they were on the receiving end of this vulgar behaviour ???
By the way, This isn’t aimed at all Arsenal fans it’s just a small section who have become very loud unfortunately.
I just hope the transfer goes through and Noni Madueke
rams all of this negativity back down the throats of these impostors.
Whatever happens from here good luck Noni.
