Firstly I just want to wish everyone a very Happy New Year and may 2011 bring you good health and happiness. 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!! […]
Christmas Presents for the lads, hope it makes you smile 🙂 The festive season is upon us again and in all honesty we have not done to bad up to now. We are still in all the Cup competitions and second in the league, remarkable when you consider the ups and downs of the season so far. We […]
Good Morning/Afternoon and Evening to all the night crawling gooners. I had been invited to write a piece for this blog a while ago. So far I have declined the offer, either too uninspired, our dreadful performances (heh) or too shy, but suddenly something has touched a nerve. The ‘Goldenboy awards’ were presented the other night, […]
I’m not his biggest fan as followers here may know. A lot has been written about him, some good, some bad but there is one aspect of his game that he does better than most and that’s his off the ball movement. Theo is very intelligent as Jacques Crevoisier our sports psychologist told the Daily mail: Arsene […]
Just what the Arsenal World needs to hear, Jack Wilshere, the future Mr Arsenal has said he wants the captains armband off Cesc Fabregas one day. Cesc may have flown the nest by the time he’s ready but it shows our player is only think about Arsenal and why wouldn’t he. It seems that Fabregas is […]
