The early season thrashing 8-2 thrashing at Old Trafford seems almost a few seasons ago, as much has changed in the succeeding months. We strengthened the squad right before the end of the summer transfer window and steadily climbed the table, to where we finished calendar year 2011 in fourth place. Since the beginning of […]

A Double-Dose this morning, first half is from Allezkev, the second from Steve Palmer… It’s difficult to write a report on a game, when you haven’t seen it – So I won’t. But I’ve seen enough Arsenal games this season already, both live and on television to know where there is a major problem in […]
Remembering, of course, that we were drawn against these exact opponents in the same stage of the FA Cup, during the same time-frame a year ago – plenty has changed for both sides since we huffed and puffed to a 1-1 home draw, before winning the replay 3-1 at Elland Road. We, of course, has […]
Just 48 hours after the win against QPR which took us to fourth place, we headed to Craven Cottage to face a Fulham side which we needed a late TV equalizer to rescue a home point against several weeks back. With Chelsea winning at Molineaux earlier to move back ahead of us, we needed to […]
Happy New Year to you all, may 2012 be a safe and healthy one and thank you again to everyone who takes time out of their day to make Highbury House what it is today….. On to Oliver’s match review: Such is Arsenal’s lot these days. We win one match and we lose another player […]
This year we got to enjoy Boxing Day without an Arsenal fixture, thanks to the 24-hour strike by union workers shut the London Underground down, and had a knock-on effect on London surface and national rail traffic. So prior to Christmas, our club announced that our home fixture with Wolves would be pushed back 24 […]
Just three days after our modest away winning run in league play was snapped at Eastlands, we hit the road again hoping to restart the cycle at Villa Park. A win last night would get us back on track, especially with winnable Boxing Day (Wolves, home) and New Year’s Eve (QPR, home) fixtures coming up… […]
So to the late Sunday kickoff, where we visited league leaders Man City. By the time kickoff rolled around, City were nudged into second place by virtue of Man United’s early kickoff win at Loftus Road. A win or a scoring draw would restore them (City) to the summit, while a win for us could […]
Yesterday marked our football club’s 125th anniversary and we celebrated it pre-match festivities, a guard of honor – comprised of some select Arsenal legends – for our team, as it made its way on the pitch. While it has to be said that our performance did not match the occasion – perhaps the occasion even […]
After a good, albeit losing, performance by our reserves and kids in the midweek Carling Cup tie against Man City, it was back to league business with a trip up to the DW, to take on bottom three side Wigan Athletic in search of our third consecutive away league victory. While we have generally handled […]
We know that many of our first team players are in the proverbial “red” and need a break. We also know that the Carling Cup is low on the list of priorities. Arsene made a point stressing the first aspect following our weekend 1-1 versus Fulham, so changes were certainly expected. Just how many changes […]
It isn’t the first let-down we have had following a big mid-week result, and it certainly won’t be the last. Having won our Champions League group and qualified for the knockout stages a few days ago, this match – at home against one of the lower-half sides – was an opportunity to rotate a few […]
