@ArsenalFCIrish Remember games being called off not because of frozen pitch or terraces but basically Avenell Road being frozen top to bottom and the slope making it too hazardous to use

Highbury, January 2003. Snow on the ground, cannon above the doors. Before glass bowls, before corporate gloss, this was football. Cold outside, fire within. Proper football. #arsenal #afc #gunners

@FlackJimmmy @Rattie_Ash @XiThice Yes Stamford Bridge would have been too small by then. But as soon as the FA realised how much money this brought in it soon became the norm

@Rattie_Ash @XiThice It started with the 1991 semi. Tottenham v Arsenal. The two big London teams, made perfect sense.

Who else thinks the FA Cup semi-finals shouldn't be at Wembley? They should be played at neutral grounds like Old Trafford, Anfield, Villa Park, or St James' Park, leaving the final as a Wembley exclusive!

@Daniel233118 Probably the first time in 16yrs his actions have led to consequences.

Do you think the guy in the blue shirt did the right thing? What’s your opinion…..?

@David_Dein @Supermacs_knee I went to the away game the following night thinking it can't be that bad again......

@Supermacs_knee I remember it all too well and the subsequent Watford match.

Easter Monday 1986 Arsenal 0-2 Watford The first Highbury game after Don Howe's departure ends with an Avenell Road congregation in front of the East Stand for a protest at the Highbury hierarchy. 🎵We hate Hill-Wood....We are the Hill-Wood haters🎵

@LiquidAy Like Max Dowman is going to listen to Adrian Durham's advice

🚨JUST IN: Ex-Gunner, Perry Groves has criticized Adrian Durham who advised teenage Max Dowman should leave Arsenal. "The biggest load of nonsense I've ever heard in my life!" "Arsenal have a brilliant track record of nurturing young players!" Spot on Perry, some of these pundits are just ridiculous at this point.

@GoonerJavea Was that the the day we went behind to a late goal but still won with two later goals?

Some great clobber on view as Gooners invade the pitch. The Big Match Revisited Sept 1984. Coventry City v Arsenal. instagram.com/reel/DWVxWK0DC…

@Bazro10 If you get a ticket in the wrong end you sit/stand there keep your head down watch the game and keep your mouth shut it's not rocket science. Guessing these clowns haven't been to too many matches. Absolutely no sympathy.

@shirt_arsenal I buy them out of habit a flick through on the train home but otherwise no. If we still had ticket stubs I'd probably settle for that but we don't even have this now.

@Sarrie62 Take it you don't actually read the programmes with that comment 😂

1️⃣9️⃣6️⃣6️⃣↔️1️⃣9️⃣6️⃣7️⃣🔙 Flashback to the season I was born. And here's me thinking it would never catch on when we went back to white sleeves!

@MbarkCherguia First time she's probably face consequences for her actions

This eco activist has been sentenced to 2 years in prison for throwing soup over a $90 million Van Gogh painting. What's your reaction to the sentence?

@AwayDaysClub_ All locals I bet. I wonder how many still have access to and can afford tickets

Look at those prices at Anfield back in the 90s.

My dad now gone 22yrs. I often wonder what I'd have done with all those Saturdays and tuesday night if he hadn't took me to Highbury 50yrs ago.

@MissAlly_01 Was of great use as we dug our way out of Stalag left 12.

Kids today have no idea what "PE" meant for us back in the day. Who's old enough to remember this?

@UNDERCOVER_JM Please and thank you.

My Mums voice. 💔

@garythegooner56 Only buy them out of habit more of an addiction really. Around 3 of the current ones take up as much space as the entire home seasons in mid 70s to late eighties. And those programmes were less glossy but far superior.

I used to religiously buy the match programme & read every word when it was 16 pages back in the day. Now I buy about 6 a season. I bought the Chelsea one & out of 92 pages I only read 42. I had no interest in the other 50 pages. The match day programme has become far too big imo

@hamptonlax @AwayDaysClub_ Sorry didn't mean to sound snappy. Arsenal have no standards now except how much cash they get out of fans. 50yrs of matches but I'm not the target consumer I buy a programme and a tea. I eat outside and dont spend £100s in the shops and pay £50 to be able to beg for tickets

@Sarrie62 @AwayDaysClub_ Oh, no doubt. I didn’t mean to imply otherwise. To me it was always “not quite up to arsenal’s typical standards.”

The iconic Clock End at Highbury, with the newly built Emirates Stadium rising in the background, back in 2006. What a photo. 👏

@HLTCO Will probably take a day's leave to ensure i can watch Germay play Curacao.

There are 8 games in a staggered schedule across just 34 hours at the World Cup between the 14th-16th June. Iran v New Zealand at 2am. We will be there.

@hamptonlax @AwayDaysClub_ It wasn't done for our benefit it was done for the corporate boxes!!

@AwayDaysClub_ Huge Highbury fan. Never really warmed up to the “new” Clock End. It just never seemed to fit quite tight, to me at least. Of course, at that time time, my club had four stands, none of which even sort of matched, so..,

@TonyMunday1968 It's all this new speak that people use to try to make them feel more intelligent than they are. At work when asked If I can source an item I reply how would you like it sourced, tomato brown or curry? I won't play thier game!

Where the fuck did the term low block come from? It drives me fucking nuts. It’s defending deep, stick your new phrases up your arses!!

@Edward_G8 @drpenking Ferry to bilbao?

I’m tired of pretending . How did Manchester City bus from England get to Madrid in Spain?
