Same team that we played against Brum, same grit, same fight, same attitude, same result please…. The home fixture against the newly rich kids in the Premier League takes place tonight – I for one am glad that it will be out the way before Roberto Mancini go crazy in the January sales, if you […]

Today the FA staff should return to their posh leather seats, sit drinking posh fizzy water in the way that only they do and one of their first jobs should be to review our match ‘lowlights’ from the Birmingham game. Arsene Wenger hasn’t had too much to say about the incident and I don’t blame him either, the […]
We all know Carlos Vela is going out on loan this month and Owen Coyle has him sitting at the top of his wanted list. This could be a great move for all involved, Coyle is a great young British manager on a shoestring budget but his Bolton side sit 7th in the Premier League. They […]
Better finishing? Check. Better awareness and organization defending set pieces? Obviously. The European Cup? Of course. But…On the heels of this afternoon’s performance and result, I consider harping on the aforementioned a little churlish of myself. We all know there are things we can do better and we all know precisely what they are. However, […]

Thank you all for your contributions which have helped Highbury House take off and remain stable… As well as the everyday happiness in your lives, I hope an extra special happiness will come to […]
If your one for statistics, or Arsenal memory reminders, then this post is probably not for you but if you have sport in your blood and anything football rings your bell, this could just be up your street. I’ll start off with how this idea came to me and try not to bore you to much. After […]
Monday, we finally beat one of the big two during the past 24 months, and did it in convincing fashion – could we build on that result, take care of business, and keep the pressure squarely on the two Manchester sides? The pre-match buzz was almost as interesting as the match itself. It was generally […]
Hugo Rodallega and Tom Cleverley were the stand outs for Wigan at the weekend when they travelled to Wolverhampton and went home with all three points. Rodallega scored an acrobatic goal from six yards out and Cleverley doubled the lead not long after. Wolves battled and got one back but despite having all the play they couldn’t nab […]
Wigan on Wednesday night; now that our fortnight break has ended, the games come fast and furious and we need to make sure we do not squander what we have achieved tonight. After Cesc’s frank admission of our mental weakness following the capitulation at Old Trafford, I began to wonder if we would ever shake […]
Ok, I am a self-confessed Take That fan and for me the best thing that happened in the music world this year was Robbie swallowing his pride and going back to sing with others and reform the original group. But yes, this is a football blog, no, not just a football blog, it’s an Arsenal blog […]
George Graham played for us from 1966 – 1972 before moving to Manchester United, he came back to manage us in the late eighties, his reign 1986 – 1995, some believe he’s still one of our best. During that time he made sure we became a side that didn’t concede many goals; his defensive style earned us […]
The big day of the year has finally arrived, Santa Claus is dropping off his final gifts around the world but meanwhile, Old Ebenezer Scrooge, aka Arsene Wenger, is no doubt sticking to his principles of Christmas Past rather than Christmas Present and he’ll be counting his savings rather than thinking of spending next month. Bah Humbug!! […]
