http://www.rockynewsnow.info/ - Its a modified version from NewsNow and concentrate solely for arsenal.. It also filtered out most crap, unreliable stuff from the blogosphere .. And best feature which still chuckled me, renamed some team/ sites to funny names .. that one you will have read yourself, it wont be much of a problem to know the original team anyway if you are an Arsenal's supporter for a while.

or follow good quality arsenal blogs which often have good insight and fan-written articles:
Arseblog ( http://www.oleole.com/blogs/arseblog ) - good old drunken arseblogger who swears at anything that's not arsenal
A Cultured Left Foot ( http://aculturedleftfoot.wordpress.com/ )- decent writeup and opinions

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.

I didn't read much about previous posts but please minimize your taunting on individuals like Evra.

I am sure fellow members here can be more professional than some professional footballers icon_rolleyes.gif

Just stick to football/Arsenal discussion, shall we? rclxm9.gif

Wenger refuses to rise to Evra bait

CODE
Wenger, though, said he had no interest in retaliating.

"He gave you some good stuff to make it all hot before the game," Wenger said during his weekly press conference. "We are guided by the way we want to play football and not by the statements of anybody who plays against us.

[B]"Personally, I believe if you are a big player you always respect your opponent and that is what we try to do."
[/B]
Asked if Evra had been disrespectful, he replied: "I leave that judgment to you. We do not want to go into any unneeded talking before a game like that.

"We want to focus on the way we want to play and ignore any provocation before a game. We are motivated by the desire to win the game and by the quality of the football we want to play."

really don't give a damn what man u manager/players/fans have to say...from past experience, espeacially the fans lah...they just love to 'bebel' how they win this and that...usually all 'talk big' only....and currently IMO all 3 teams top BPL table have it ups and downs..it's anybody's game....so don't talk C*CK so much

anyway, have a gut feeling that we will play good at OT.... flex.gif flex.gif

It won't do Almunia any good for him to stay. If IF Fabianski flaps again (*touch wood*) Szczesny will stand out.

Fun fact : Arshavin has the highest amount of assist this season (8) , only Nani equal to it.

With media's all around Nasri's fine form, i believe Arshavin is the one to watch at OT. Monday the 13th, I'm having good vibes about the team.
Koscielny worries me a little, perhaps he needs a little more time and confident to be the player people will look up to. I thought Djorou - Squalaci was even a better partnership. He's injured huh ?

P/S : Looks like my name is missing from the Arsenal fan base rolleyes.gif

Arshavin will start for sure. You will need his intelligence to beat the Devils and hopefully he will do as good as the game against Fulham or even better against Liverpool biggrin.gif
