It goes without saying, if you're not an Arsenal fan, this probably isn't for you. Unless you love watching quality goals and spectacular moments. Or perhaps you're a secret admirer, in that case buy it, no one would have to know!

As for the actual DVD, it's perfect. A DVD compilation of great Arsenal goals was a long time coming. At 501 goals and nearly 3 hours running time it might seem like overkill, but time will easily fly as you pour over some great times.

The DVD is presented by famous gooner Dermot O' Leary, who's infectious enthusiasm and likeability make him perfect for presenting this compilation. The premise for the compilation is this. From the from the top 40 scorers out of the 425 that have scored in Arsenal's history, they pick players that have played after 1970, when televised football properly began, and have scored at least 20 goals. And from there they've whittled it down to the 501 finest goals.

From such modern greats - Thierry Henry, Dennis Bergkamp, Fredrick Ljungberg and Vieira - to past legends - Ian Wright, Liam Brady, Michael Thomas and Frank Stapleton - they're all here. From when Henry ran the length of the pitch to score against Tottenham, to Kanu's hat trick in the last 15 minutes to overturn a 2-0 deficit to Chelsea, or when Bergkamp cheekily flicked a ball round Dabizas to score, to Thomas winning the league from Liverpool with a last gasp goal, they're all moments you wouldn't mind reliving.

You could watch all 501 goals in one sitting with a documentary style compilation, including interviews from the players and facts and snippets from Dermot. If that's all too much for you, or you're looking to watch particular goals, you can watch all a player's goals by selecting them from the handy A-Z of goal scorers. This organization is very useful, so you're not forced to search through the whole compilation.

Extra's on the DVD include a top 10 goal's video chart, a Charlie George interview and an enjoyable own goals and gaffs from opposition. Also included is a stats section where you can look up any player's stats from their strike ratio to their appearances.

I'd recommend this DVD to anyone remotely interested in the Gunner's or a neutral looking for a goal fix. The package is well presented and the goals are very well organized. Nothing feel's better than when Arsenal score, except when they do it 501 times. A must have!
