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 […]
That all might sound a bit optimistic but finally other clubs at the top are starting to drop points, just like they did last season. It was around this time last year that we were sitting in a healthy position near the top of the league, and funny enough with exactly the same number of […]
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 […]
Before you all get your hopes up, Chamakh will only be leaving us short term as yesterday Morocco confirmed that our potent striker will be playing some kind of part in the African Cup of Nations. Sadly though, he will be back at some stage! The timing of this ACON could be good for all […]
Whenever I read an Arsenal blog and its following comments, the concern over the fitness of one man stands out like a sore cruciate. The fortune of our great club seems to be very much tied up with the health of our Dutch maestro Robin Van Persie. As the January Window approaches we are all […]
The Daily Mail reports this morning that Arsene Wenger is lining up Barcelona striker Isaac Cuenca, the 20year old is free to talk to clubs next month as his contract is up in the summer. The same paper also suggest that we have finally offered Thierry Henry a return on a two month loan deal. […]
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 […]
Morning all, Before we start I hope your Christmas Day went just how you had hoped it would and I hope Santa was kind to you and yours and for one or two of you, I hope your heads have cleared and your stomachs are getting back to normal. 😉 Wolverhampton Wanderers today here at […]
Boxing Day here in the UK and it’s got nothing to do with grown men knocking six bells out of each other! For many, Boxing Day is about eating all the food that was left over from Christmas Day, making sure it didn’t go to waste but the origin of its name come from employees […]
Thanks to our regular Highbury House Blogger Lee, we have a special message from Frank McLintock to all at Highbury House. Yep, it’s for real, no editing or messing around with photo’s… Thanks Frank and a Merry Christmas to you too…. In fact, that message goes out to all and I hope that however […]
Amongst all the usual pre-transfer window speculation, Arsene Wenger has totally ruled out buying a centre back. We have plenty of centre backs, fortunately they can play on the flanks too as they are at the moment. We are not looking for any centre backs. No chance. He also talks about the situation at left […]
Off with the latest titbit and that’s from The Metro, they report that Wenger is about to make a shock move for Wigan’s Hugo Rodallega! What, surely not! He’s notched up just 22 goals in 100 appearances for Wigan, he’s hardly likely to bring anything to our side is he? The Yak could though… 9 […]
