Highbury Farewell 2006

A fond farewell to Highbury, the home of Arsenal Football Club since 1913 as well as host to numerous friends, memories and events that have been a part of my life for 30 years.

Manchester United (0-0) - 3rd January 2006

So as the Russians march away with the league, the two once-mighty armies meet for a near meaningless battle. When the central midfield of United is Fletcher and O'Shea you realise how times have changed and with neither a Vieira nor a Keane to be found we sat down and watched the most timid of all Arsenal vs Man Utd games. Even the attempts at controversy were light, a dive by Reyes?, a possible handball & sending off for Rooney and a possible penalty on Cesc were all rather pathetic attempts compared to games of yore. Transition is an oft-used word this season and this game pretty much summed it all up.
