Season 2010/11Fixtures:-

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.

my vote goes for per

kedua!!

From arshamania
Hello, dear Andrey! I would like to find out who do you have the best relationship with in Arsenal?
p.s. Andrey, you are our hope and joy!


Arshavin: Used to be with Samir. Now I'm hanging out with the young


Haha,now arsenal is no more a young club liao,

Benayoun played for 3 major club of EPL which are Liverpool, Chelsea then Arsenal

Really glad to see an AM @ Arteta to join Arsenal at the last minute. Our season look mighty strong suddenly.

reporting in!

So at the end, the Honda rumor is just a troll.

anyone knows where honda is joining? he went to london for a medical test right?

i would like to vote for Alex if he signed for us

Honda when check up for his leg injury la not medical check up for Arsenal la

No, if anything he was just in London for a transit before continuing back to Moscow.

It's a troll news. All because Arsene expressed his admiration for Keisuke during the last WC.

i really ope Arsenal can now give the other big teams a good fight..we didn't splash those transfer records, but i think we can really give the rivals some challenge...Most of all, i think the signing of Arteta is a valuable one...let's hope he can give us all the creativity that we need..

come on Gunners!!!

how about Arsenal FC add Leighton John Baines


he is currently one of the best assist player in EPL right now.. i like to see how he do long pass and cross in EPL, entertaining player i think.
personal opinion, i think this guy have a good sense to be a good playmaker if put in the midfield position.

Bring in benhayun for what, so many player can play that position already... If arteta get injured which he will at some point who gonna replace him?? Short of creative player.

Jenkinson will for sure get 0 votes lol Anyway think I'll register a null vote. Simply because there is no way of knowing which is the best buy till the end of the season when the numbers register...

The players haven't play , how to vote ? I'll reserve my judgement after 10 games or so .

I wonder which team between Arsenal and Liverpool that manage to capture Metesacker, good job AW finally

My names still not on the list =/

Really ecstatic to see our current defence lineup, especially with santos ready to barge forward as clichy always did!

im going for gevinho.... very impressive play so far... apart from the red card

Gervinho ftw!!!! For now ... But arteta also good ....

yeah! mertesacker has joined! finally a tall centerback n one that I hope can complement vermaelen,n wow! arteta joined was a nice surprise! I couldn't get any internet connection n to hear it on the radio was very satisfying! BTW I vote for mertersacker!

Im gonna quote this again... Last nite i already did... Then SG also did it...

I know what you like.
I know what you want.
You want a signing.
And when you get one, you’ll wish it was taller.
And if it’s taller, you’ll wish it was faster.
And if it’s faster, you’ll wish it was stronger
And if it’s stronger, you’ll wish it was more experienced.
And if it’s experienced, you’ll wish it was better with the ball.
And if it’s good with the ball, you’ll wish it was English.
And if it’s English, you’ll wish it was better value.
And if it’s a good value, you’ll wish it played a different position.
You won’t get consensus from Arsenal supporters until the club sign XI new players in every position, all world class, youth prospects, on the cheap, who are tall, powerful, adept with the ball, experienced, English, and childhood supporters of the club.
And then you’ll wish we hadn’t signed so many players.

FU.... Arsenal fans r hard to pls. Jeeeez

Added on September 1, 2011, 1:27 pmBtw.. Vote for ox... Hope he proved me rite,


This post has been edited by sakaito: Sep 1 2011, 01:27 PM

Mertesacker is the one getting the no 4? niceee
Always have been a fan of german players

Arse.com

its really funny to see some of the forumer here never satisfied with arsenal/arsene.

beli susah tak beli pon susah..

keep on moaning haterzz..

p/s: the best raya ke-3 i ever had <3

i personally favour gervinho since ive seen him perform and tbh, he was really impressive during the game in udinese. hes brings this somewhat breath of fresh air to arsenal's game. whenever he has the ball i always get excited and feel like something is going to happen when he attacks.

the next one should be mertesacker and arteta. both are equally experienced, mertesacker for his international games and arteta for his the number of epl games under his belt. (not forgetting the number of accolades he has received including everton's player of the season 05-07)

benayoun would be among the top 3 if it wasnt for his injury records.

tbh, ive never really seen chu young or santos play so ill reserve judgement later. jenkinson so far has shown determination and potential but he still has ALOT to learn.

long time no see almunia

3rd choice gk. lol, he can play for the reserves

---

Added on September 1, 2011, 1:37 pmwhat surprises me also is that arteta is willing to join arsenal for a 20k pay cut. also, its kinda weird that a higher tier club like arsenal is offering lower wage than a lower tier club like everton.

This post has been edited by telefunken: Sep 1 2011, 01:37 PM

Our wage structure is as such that players approaching30 will have lower salary unless otherwise specify. Thats what aw is trying to change so tat we can compete in open market.

The lure of champ league football is just to greeat to pass by.

i cant w8 to see benayoun in action cause he has hleb style of play

owh haii gooner..
just wake up...after 10hour following transfer window

cant wait to c our starting 11

How much was he getting at Everton?

Btw Tweet of the day has to go to Jack haha

lol, some poo team is underestimating our ability to be title contenders after this transfer window and are unimpressed by our new signings. meh, at least Arsenal plays better/entertaining football and dont rely on referees to win games.

after all the hype over the transfer window, one thing for certain is arsenal will not pay over the hill
transfer fee for any player. Certainly believe this club has a very good future. when clubs like mc and Chelsea run into financial troubles, our club will be ready to take over their best players.

from what i read somehwere, he was getting around 70k per week. atm hell only be getting like 55k ? smthn like that. thats a huge pay cut lol.

Probably butthurt they didn't get Sneijder or anyone else on deadline day

No give two hoots about what they say.

yeah, sneijder prolly watches their replay and thought, meh, i dont want to be lobbing the ball all the time and diving for referees to give penalties.

syhhh!!

nanti pulis dtg...

so what, cassanova dupe come here troll can we cannot even have our own honest opinions in our own threads ? ridiculous.

tell that to them not to me

u refer to barcelona?

yep.

dunno why barcelona always have full support of refree ... maybe their jersey ? like official usually on New York Yankees side in MLB

Anyways, just hope nobody gets injured during the international break. I'd be pissed off if one of them do

Added on September 1, 2011, 2:11 pmofficials also have their own interest mah. better for business revenues too if certain teams win cause u know la, majority of football supporters are glory hunters.

This post has been edited by telefunken: Sep 1 2011, 02:11 PM

yo...sigh i miss the fun here mang.

arteta?? benayoun?? santos?? per mertesacker?? pcy??

ok honest view.

arteta may be injury prone but technically gifted and very creative n good in dead ball situation. 10mil? good buy

benayoun on loan.... technically gifted and good vision. loan? good loan

per the pole of germany. good discipline, which we r so lacking now. slow but aerial ability no problem. 8mil?? good buy.

PCY... i dunno

dos santos... brazilian. powerful attacking full back... run out of position? nevermind as long as he can supply good pass when needed and defence at the right time...

many left back caught napping b4 also ma... 6mil?? wow.

clearly these r the players to babysit them kids b4 they r ready.

This post has been edited by blixtboy: Sep 1 2011, 02:15 PM

what I can say to Arsenal fans is Yossi will be very useful in CL stages.His hat rick against Besiktas few years ago and he scored the only goal in Santiago Bernabeu means he have the experience and mentality to perform in top levels.

RVP or Theo will benefits from him since he likes to play through ball to the striker.

yo liez, why don't use this as the thread logo? this has the transparent background...



This post has been edited by Walaoeh!: Sep 1 2011, 02:18 PM

Agree...our current thread logo is..well...hideous...the red one was okay, didn't really fancy the black one before this either.

hey, thats looks familiar! ive seen it on someone's siggy but cant remember whose


btw, yeah this looks so much better than the one that we have now. liez, lets just use this throughout the entire season.

yes i agree...his vision n through ball is good.

logo in 75x75:

Honest view - Mertasacker and Arteta are really good buys. They will shore up the defence and reorganise the midfield which was so lacking in the defeats to Liverpool and MU. But Mertasacker needs to get used to the style of play in the EPL quickly, because it's totally different with the Bundasliga... Or he might struggle.

Santos and PCY - never seen them play before, so the jury is out.

Yossi though... His injury problems might really hamper his chances of playing. Suspect Arsene signed him as cover for Song when he goes to the ACON 2012.

quite nice this red and gold forward crest
it would be quite nice to tatoo it onto the shoulder kua

the current thread logo looks like a tombstone...

Best Signing, based on the previous "sickness" we got, a CD. So Per Mertesacker got my vote.

Basic salary maybe he get lower than what he get at Everton but other bonus should be more or at least match what he earn at Everton now

Sometimes I lol at all these so called bangsat arsenal supporters who seems to know everything.
Arsenal not signing hazard/mvilla/<insert name> so there's no great additions to team? Seriously, how much do u really know about all these players? Just because u watch on youtube? Ha ha, don't make me laugh. Those scouts know better.
And benayoun/arteta is injury prone? Whoa, you know everything bout the players health and fitness is it? You can't even predict when you will get a fever but you know that a player is injury prone just because the media hyped it. Way to go, media-fed mongrels.

Just be grateful for all these signings and stop b****ing.

+1

I vote for : I am not an Arsenal fan..haha

anyway, Im sure that Arteta will fits well in arsenal team plus he already have the PL experience..maybe by joining Arsenal can boost his chances of getting international call up for Spain..hehe

not sure about other signings but Per looks promising. 70++ caps for Germany for 26 years old..that's a lot of experience there..

i think arteta is short term problem solving for our playmaker..
we must sign players like hazard this january or next season..

aku dah balikkkk

baru bangun

sama bang . just finish bath

i will vote park !

This post has been edited by fcuk90: Sep 1 2011, 03:46 PM

oh yeahhh

high 5 for our victory last night

i am definitely happy with Arteta, Merte and AndreSantos,
however you define them, they are experience and have at least a certain amount of quality

park and benny, thou i am not to sure if they are starters
i feel they will be our impact sub,
we all know what benayoun can do, may not be the high profile signing
but he can for sure create/score goals,

he is like:

"if things goes dull in game during 60th - 70th minute" and if there is ever a player that can spark the midfield for the remaining 20minutes
id like to have people like Benny on the bench

Gervinho needless to say, he will blend in
just waiting for him to come back from suspension saja

of course i hope people like Ramsey and Wilshere to cont to improve
Oxlade and Miyaichi to show their quality during Carling cup
and Joel to harvest the most out from his loan

I am with sigheart on Carl Jenkinson, i am not to fond of him or is it just me
he has got that panic look in his face when under pressured....menakutkan bang!
super insecure macam perempuan mao kahwin

Hazard is a winger but hey, what do I know right?

Some fans here are more clever than me and Arsene Wenger.

In Clever Fans We Trust!!

This post has been edited by Corrupted Spirits: Sep 1 2011, 03:49 PM

we already got a lot winger =____=

i agree with you.all football clubs thread also same.noob fan always want to transfer all their players..hari2 pn mau transfer.talking like a manager.they dont have any idea what is a football team about.pity kids nowadays.

arla... relax la... lepas transfer kita semua berbaik baik liao

chill la fren,

dont use words like bangsat & media-fed mongrel... thts not the way to call someone.

coz we all rely on media @ times for info.

let them give their views lah...its ok. we cannot just accept good views on our players but ignore negative views of our players.

we judge and decide for ourselves lah...but we cannot stop ppl from giving their views. its their rights.

oh am not against u fren... i think all of us are excited with the new players.

go arsenal!!!

Added on September 1, 2011, 4:09 pmwah! so fast got sparta arteta d!!??



This post has been edited by slcroy: Sep 1 2011, 04:09 PM

Hi I not Arsenal fan, just wanna say Arteta should be a good signing.

Hope he improves on last season's performance. Arteta last season was quite disappointing.

Fuh,aku bangun .. selepas bersama2 gooners pagi tadi..

I like Benayoun but my take would be Arteta as the best buy. But Arteta does not have much CL experience so maybe Benayoun can show him who's the boss in CL matches.

This comment make my day, thanks!~

High percentage of people like that who talks like a head coach due to playing Football Manager intensively and thought they have reached the level of knowing how things are run.
Some just because the player(s) are so famous, they will say buy this player.

But as I understood, main reason why Arsenal unable to sign extreme high profile players due financial reasons. Arsenal have the budget to buy players, but it is difficult to offer these high-profile players at their rate which in long-term, the club will suffer financially because of high wages.
So I can guess, most of these "fans" only know definition of " Win" , "Score More" & "Champions" .

Today first in the morning, I read the news of the quartet signings and really happy bout it. Can't wait to watch them play and bounce back. It's still early of the season!

Really heard from a friend of mine saying bout the previous thumping loss to Man Utd which I really love what he said....
" I eight-two (8-2) be a gooner!"
"Why everyone kept bragging 8 goals to 2.....c'mon its only six (6) for god sake!"

If you go to Manure thread then you'll see people using it often too

Angry Arsenal fans hire billboard to protest at club's direction

dont know if this already post in here

sorry if slowpoke

and already got fb event for this arsenal fans protest

This post has been edited by joe405: Sep 1 2011, 04:35 PM

Why would there be a vote for " i am not an arsenal fan" where this is arsenal's thread?

Coz lots of trolls love to come here. Ehehehe

Anyway I haven't had a good sleep yet. Most only 2 hours + a few naps here n there. Gonna be damn tired tonite n its malam jumaat woi! Ahahaha

Tkh, slcroy, fcuk90 n others.. U guys rock last nite weh! From dusk til dawn! Ahaha
