The Emotional Highbury and The Grand Ashburton Grove

Highbury 1913-2006

For the majority of their time in south-east London, Arsenal played at the Manor Ground in Plumstead, a three-year period at the nearby Invicta Ground between 1890 and 1893 excepted. The Manor Ground was initially just a field, but the club installed stands and terracing in time for their first Football League match in September 1893. They played their home games there for the next twenty years (with two exceptions in 189495), until the move to north London in 1913.

Arsenal Stadium, widely referred to as Highbury, was Arsenal's home from September 1913 until May 2006. The original stadium was designed by the renowned football architect Archibald Leitch, and had a design common to many football grounds in the UK at the time, with a single covered stand and three open-air banks of terracing. In the 1930s, the entire stadium was given a massive overhaul, with new Art Deco West and East stands constructed, opening in 1932 and 1936 respectively; in addition, the North Bank terrace had a roof added, which was later bombed during World War II and not restored until 1956.

At its peak, Highbury could hold over 60,000 spectators, and had a capacity of 57,000 until the early 1990s. The Taylor Report and Premier League regulations forced Arsenal to convert Highbury into an all-seater in time for the 199394 season, reducing the capacity to 38,419 seated spectators. This capacity had to be reduced further during Champions League matches to accommodate additional advertising hoardings, so much so that for two seasons (199899 and 199900) Arsenal played Champions League home matches at Wembley, which could house more than 70,000 spectators.

Final moments - the emotions run high in Highbury

Ashburton Grove 2007-present

Expansion of Highbury was restricted because the East Stand had been designated as a Grade II listed building and the other three stands were close to residential properties. These limitations have prevented the club from maximising the revenue that their domestic form could have brought in recent seasons. After considering various options, in 2000 Arsenal proposed building a new 60,000-seater stadium at Ashburton Grove, since renamed the Emirates Stadium, about 500 metres south-west of Highbury. The project was initially delayed by red tape and rising costs, but construction was completed in July 2006, in time for the start of the 200607 season. The stadium is named after its sponsors, the airline company Emirates, with whom the club signed the largest sponsorship deal in English football history, worth approximately 100 million; however some fans refer to the ground as Ashburton Grove, or the Grove, as they do not agree with corporate sponsorship of stadium names.The stadium will be officially known as Emirates Stadium until at least 2012, and the airline will be the club's shirt sponsor until the end of the 201314 season.

Fabregas - Arshavin won us the Tottenham tie

While plaudits have rightly come the way of players such as Jack Wilshere, Henri Lansbury and Kieran Gibbs after Tuesday’s resounding win at White Hart Lane, Cesc Fabregas believes the introduction of another star was a vital ingredient in our extra-time success.

“I think Andrey Arshavin made the big difference for us,” he says in his captain’s notes for tomorrow’s Matchday Programme.

“I believe he won us the game when he came on. He played the two passes that led to the two penalties in extra-time, then he scored the last goal himself. He can win a game.”

Arsène Wenger: my record for nurturing talent at Arsenal is second to none

With Arsenal announcing record profits on Friday, Arsène Wenger made the bold claim that his results have been even more impressive and suggested that "no one else in the world" had produced as many top-level footballers as he had throughout his career.

The 60 year-old said that some other managers acted as if it "looks like we are in a business where the quality is to lose money" but insisted that although his philosophy was to behave in a "safe way" he was also not afraid to spend big if he needed to.

"I have the wrong reputation," the Arsenal manager said. "I'm not afraid to spend money. But the job of a manager is not to spend as much money [as he can]. We make a profit because we don't spend – simple as that.

"What is unbelievable is that people reproach me for making a profit, but those who lose money – no one says a word."

Wenger, whose side face West Bromwich Albion on Saturday, cited the example of his summer signing, Marouane Chamakh, who moved to the Emirates "for free" from Bordeaux because he was out of contract.

"To get Chamakh for free – instead of getting credit, you get accused of getting him for free and people ask, 'Why didn't you spend £20 million for him?' If I buy him two years ago for £20 million, it's OK. But you get him for free and it's, 'Oh, he didn't spend money'."

Apart from the fact that the Moroccan striker would not have cost £20 million two years ago – and was available for £7 million last year – Arsenal supporters may argue that Wenger's determination to wait sometimes hampers the side. Last season, for example, they cried out for a central striker. This season it is an experienced goalkeeper.

However, it is Wenger's work in developing young players, starting with the academy at Monaco and then at Arsenal, that he is most passionate about. He argued that his philosophy made it easier for him to resist the "pressure" to spend.

"If I buy players, Jack Wilshere doesn't come through. So you cannot have everything, and I know that, and I'm long enough in this job to have a development policy to educate the players.

"The most difficult thing is to play them and to stand up for it, and nobody else in the world [does this as much as me]. One day I'll give you the list of those at the top-level who have made careers with me and you will see. You will be absolutely astonished."

More than any other manager or club? "Of course," Wenger said. "How do I know? Take the list of the players who started here. If you go back it's unbelievable."

He reeled off the names of Cesc Fabregas – Barcelona may dispute that – Ashley Cole, Johan Djourou, Philippe Senderos, Kieron Gibbs, Alex Song, Abou Diaby, Gael Clichy and Wilshere and then added: "When I go back to Monaco" the likes of Lilian Thuram and Emmanuel Petit. He neglected to add Thierry Henry.

But what about Manchester United? "Not recently," he claimed, although Sir Alex Ferguson may have a case to challenge Wenger's overall claim. "When I arrived [in England in 1996] nearly all their team had started [at United])."

Barcelona? "Barcelona has, but I speak about me," Wenger added, implying that the production line at Barça was institutional – not dependent on a particular coach – while he had imposed his approach on Monaco and then Arsenal.

"People say always to buy," Wenger said. "But you cannot make careers and lives for players and on top of that buy every time you have an injury."

Not that he does not make sure he knows how much money is available should be choose to spend it. "Always," he said, "always, always."
