Morning all. Arsenal v Frankfurt or I’m A Celebrity? It’s a tough choice for me because of Wrighty, one of my favourite Arsenal players of all time being in the jungle. Whether you like the programme or not or the man himself even, watching his commitment to the challenges he gets nominated for is to […]
Morning all. 1. Manchester United have won more trophies than any other club in English football, with a record 20 League titles, 12 FA Cups, five League Cups a record 21 FA Community Shields, three UEFA Champions Leagues, one UEFA Europa League, one UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup, one UEFA Super Cup, one Intercontinental Cup and one FIFA […]
Morning all. Regulars here on Highbury House would have seen the comment Adam left a couple of days ago but I thought I’d throw it out to a wider audience. So here it is. Somebody asked me yesterday evening why I still bothered watching Arsenal. It was a few hours after the latest horror-show performance […]
Morning all. We scraped a draw, just. The performance was abysmal yet again. The board need to act as Unai Emery has been living on borrowed time for far too long. We haven’t just grafted long a hard for a point away from home against Liverpool, Man City or even a rejuvenated Chelsea side under Frank […]
Morning all. Toots were brave. They made the change from a much loved Poch to a grumpy old has been. Out went the playing out from the back, in came the long ball game were so used to seeing him play. It worked and now they’ve jumped ahead of us in the league table. It […]
When Arsenal waved goodbye to Arsene Wenger it was believed a new era of success could finally be ushered in. The Frenchman had outgrown his usefulness, producing sides that lacked the sort of steel the Invincibles had back in the mid-2000s. When Wenger did invest, he brought in slick and skilful players but not […]
Morning all. VAR. Has it helped Arsenal at all this season? I don’t mean giving decisions our way when they are not justified, totally the opposite in fact. Has its introduction ensured we as a club have decisions overturned when the on-field referee has clearly got it wrong? The offside against Aubameyang was correctly overturned […]
Morning all. Don’t you just love it when the players talk the talk but struggle to walk the walk? No, me neither but then to start walking one has to believe in the person teaching. If one doesn’t believe, there is no way they are letting go of the hand which steadies them as baby […]
Morning all. We didn’t want Mourinho at Arsenal did we so seeing him commit to Toots is quite a relief. It’s kind of funny too because if we’re to believe the rumours of an unhappy camp down the road then the Portuguese fella is the perfect guy to deepen that rift. He’s been successful though, […]
Morning all. ‘I was his vice-captain at Arsenal and he trusted me.’ ‘I was by his side during team meetings and we had a great bond. I’d love to work with him again, a top guy.’ That’s from Per Mertesacker talking about Mikel Arteta to FourFourTwo. I’m sure Mikel Arteta is a top guy and […]
Morning all. The one thing I believe most Arsenal fans agree on is the media being a bunch of rascals. Yes, I’ll keep it polite. Actually, make that two things because I don’t know anybody who thinks Unai Emery can turn the teams fortunes around on the pitch. But as far as the media go, […]
