Forget the transfer fees and wages for a minute as I’m sure we all know we have money to spend, IF Arsene Wenger wanted to spend it. When did Arsene Wenger last sign a true world-class player? I’m still trying to think about that and I started this post yesterday morning. 😉 Don’t get me […]

Morning all The richest businessman according to Forbes, has treated himself to a new yacht which he will be naming after his Mother Dilbar. Of course I am referring to Alisher Usmanov, our second major shareholder and this spanking new toy has set him back a mere $100 Million. The little boat includes a swimming […]
Morning Gooners, Theo Walcott has been with us for a long time, he has had an up and down career to date and now that his contract is coming to the last year, negotiations will begin and we’ll see if Arsenal and Arsene Wenger intend to keep him or sell him. Apparently Theo has been […]
Few pre-post bit’s to give you: Vice Captain Thomas Vermaelen has been talking about the best club in the land: I will stay at Arsenal forever, There will be no transfer for me. I love London. I’ve got a house there, I’m happy there and I don’t see any reason to ever leave the club. […]
Or just a realist in todays Arsenal world? Just like yesterday when we talked about players getting a battering when maybe it’s not really justified, many fans are put into categories. There are AKB’s – which means, as far as I can work out, that no matter what Arsene Wenger does, he will always be […]
We are a club full of Marmite players aren’t we? Just a few that spring to mind are Ramsey, Song, Walcott, Gervinho, Mertsacker, Djourou, Arshavin, Bendtner, Denilson and even Arteta to an extent. The reason I include Arteta is because a few Arsenal fans seem to like to label him as the ‘cheap man’s Cesc’ […]
Over the next few weeks and probably until the new season begins, the ‘day to day’ posts here on Highbury House will be shorter. There is little news in the closed season and we don’t want to batter the contracts situation to death, what is the point? We will hear soon enough whether or not […]
Yesterday it was Bacary Sagna who had a few words on Robin and like us fans, he wants to see additions to this current squad: Every year we lose some players – that’s football. To keep Robin would be great. Everyone loves him. I know him very well and I’m sure he’ll be here next […]
Happy St Dippers Day 🙂 Twenty three years ago today, it was up for grabs and Michael Thomas made sure we took that last gasp chance – we beat Liverpool 2-0 at Anfield and with it, we won the League! In case you missed it, have a peep at the video… Happy days eh….. Yesterday […]
Another quiet day in the world of Arsenal… Theo Walcott travels to the Euros without his family nearby as they fear of being on the end of nasty racist ‘stuff’ and support has come from Joleon Lescott: It is shame we are talking about it, but I think we always will be. Theo is a […]
Premier League referee Phil Dowd has failed his fitness test, good, and I hope he fails any other re-sit chances he gets, he is one of the worst officials in the game of football, and his level of incompetency rises to another level when he officiates one of our games. I’m sure that most Arsenal […]
Morning Gooners, The clearout has begun: Professionals Manuel Almunia, George Brislen-Hall, Gavin Hoyte, Sean McDermott, Rhys Murphy, together with Scholars James Campbell and Jeffrey Monakana will all be released on July 1 and are therefore free to join other clubs from this point. That’s seven so far and reports this morning suggest that we are […]
