Arsenal's style of play would arguably benefit from a wider pitch

With the way that they spread the ball quickly it would make sense and would give henry more room to run into if he stays!

Always seemed like the final game was still ages away but time has flown by, gonna be an emotional day today.

Highbury is a cool place, not that I've been.

What is cool is all the notes left from the players etc on one of the walls.

What channel's the game on?

The_One · 7 May 2006 at 14:42

Sky Sports 3 and they are also staying to show the 90 minute aftergame party

I stayed for the celebrations, which were ok, but nothing special, then it was time to say goodbye, which was rather emotional, considering how much time I've spent there over the years.

See ya Highbury, it's been emotional.

Is it possible to purchase any of those pics, if so how much are they?

Goodbye Highbury.

Goodbye Bergkamp.

Hello Ashburton.

I hope Henry stays. If not for Arsenal, then for the sake of English football.

Ashburton does look really good, but Highbury is just too sentimental for many fans. Here's to a new era in the club's history.

Gutted that I never managed to catch a game there, something I aim to change with the new stadium.

You have never seen your team play at home ?

daz · 8 May 2006 at 01:02

Even I've been to Highbury 4 times, and I support Ipswich!

It was a tight ground with the seats packed incredibly close together, so plain to see it really wasn't designed to be an all-seater stadium! Not only will Arsenal's attendances help them match Man Utd. etc financially, the new stadium brings with it lots more corporate function suites/private boxes etc which will sure to be big money spinners too.
