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 […]
Life being a Gooner over the last few seasons has been up and down, just like our results. With it has brought many stroppy comments from fans, frustrated fans I must add but fans nevertheless. Watching Chelsea win the Champions League has also upset a few, as many fans wanted us to be the first […]
Morning Gooners, Titbit for today is, Fulham want Arshavin and we are rumoured to be in for Dembele, so how about a straight swap? Anyway, enough of that, back to the post and I have to admit I am feeling very jealous! I woke up a few mornings ago, finally taking on the realisation that […]
There is only one place to start this morning and that’s with the Champions League Final. Congratulations have to go to Chelsea who huffed and puffed a bit at times, but when it came to penalties to decide the result, they showed great strength to beat Bayern Munich. Had Robben converted his penalty chance during […]
When did we last have a summer without speculation that one of our players was about to leave – in search of silverware? We had it with Vieira, then Henry and last summer it was all about Cesc! Now of course, it’s all about Robin van Persie and it’s boring, so much so, no more […]
So, I have been giving Arsenal a lot of thought recently. The kind of thought that one can only have in the close-season when the pressure is off, so to speak. Free of the emotional influences of the last few and the next few games it is perhaps easier to put the Arsenal world to […]
Theo Walcott and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain were both named in the England squad for the Euros yesterday, giving English Arsenal fans a reason to watch what is otherwise, a very old and boring team. The Sun report that ‘tense and tetchy’ talks with Robin van Persie broke down yesterday with no agreement being found by the […]
