Morning all. Three Arsenal players could, and should, have done more to stop Brighton from scoring their opening goal. Sokratis, Luiz and Willock (I think) but no, not one totally committed to clearing the free ball. Their second really highlighted how poor David Luiz is as the simple task of defending a cross was beyond […]

Morning all. Another match day has arrived and the big question on everyone’s lips is, will Freddie wear a suit… I jest. What he said yesterday though was that his focus will be on how we play rather than how Brighton do. For sure, he’ll take into account the oppositions game but he wants his […]
Morning all. When a twit Paul Scholes is. Of all the things to criticise Arsenal for, or rather Freddie Ljungberg, he opted for his choice of clothing on his debut as interim head coach at Norwich. It’s winter, he’d be wearing a thick coat on the sidelines so does it really matter what’s underneath? […]

Morning all. ‘I say in the pre-season, in five or six weeks, you can implement how you want to play football. That’s the good thing about pre-season. It’s not what I have and I just try to do small building blocks and try to change things in a slow tempo, so hopefully we can understand […]
Morning all. Has your optimism returned? Is it a stretch too far to suggest excitement as well? Ok, let’s stick to optimism then. I feel like I did eighteen months ago when Arsene Wenger had left and Unai Emery arrived. Here we are again with new hope. Longer lasting would be nice. Josh […]
Morning all. Well the moment finally arrived. Another terrible performance, a dreadful result and a half empty stadium was the last straw. We can go on all day long about how poor a choice Unai Emery was, how bad his teams played, how poor he was at man managing his players and how he […]
Morning all. Our season so far. 5 defeats 7 draws 8 wins Premier League. 4 wins 6 draws 3 defeats 18 points from 13 games played. 10 points off of Watford who are firmly rooted to the bottom of the league table. Just 8 points ahead of Norwich who are also in a relegation battle […]
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 […]
