Why have Arsenal gone away from their traditional Red and White?

Because this is the last season they are playing at Higbury before moving to the Emirates stadium.  To pay tribute to Highbury they reverted back to their original maroon strip.  Next season they will be back in red and white

I agree as well. The yellow and purple ball looks hideous; the Premiership should either go back to the classic look or use the 2006 world cup balls.

I think it is helping the premiership. It will step up the quality of players in the premier league which can only be a good thing! Their current form shows you can't buy the premiership as they have been slipping up alot lately. Unfortunately their endless spending will take talents from decent european teams lowering the challenge in the UEFA champions league.

They are due to preview the kit in may when the season has ended but as usual you will have to wait until the start of august before you can buy the new kit, champions league version of the kit comes out later then the normal home and away kits (3rd August). \n\nHopefully liverpool's year for winning the premiership.

Yes, the rule was changed after the Liverpool situation last year. Arsenal would go in as the 4th English side in the Champs Lge, and the side that finish 4th (prob Spurs) will go in the UEFA Cup.

The change in uniform was years earlier, 1953 or 1954.  The new style emulated the uniforms Hungary sported when they trounced England twice in friendly matches, 6-3 at Wembley and 7-1 in Budapest.\n\nEngland was still in the process of rebuilding their team when the Yanks lucked into the 1960 win.

I guess its because player positioning is still rather static.\n\nIt also gives commentators, managers, supporters and spectators a contextual reference point for a players position - Michael Owen is a striker and so by definition (without seeing the game) you would expect him to spend most of his time in the opposing half.\n\nThe game has got slightly more complex with the introduction of newly established formations - unlike the more common 4-4-2 - and so this has given rise to the creation of new player-position descriptions (i.e. wing backs are a more attacking-minded full-back).\n\nYou can also note the use of less anachronistic terms in the modern game (like a player who players "in the hole behind the striker"), but again these all are used for player-positional reference on the pitch.

Yep i'm right there with you chris. I despise those knobs with a passion. they're still going on about that fluky win! It'll never happen for another 19 years.I'm rooting for the Gunners as well tho i'm a Chelsea Blue myself.

It will probably be one of the teams at the bottom of the table, as with previous seasons we, like most top clubs, have a 'bogey' team that always manage to beat us.  I would like to say no team will beat Arsenal on their new ground, but this would just be a dream.

i think it is because they have not had the right manager and also some players need changing. i think liverpool are good enough but to build a good team you need money and the best way to get money ( not chelsea) is to win the champions league cup . lots of money in that . plus i think it was good for liverpool to win the chapions cup . i mean they keep it what an achievment . i'm an arsenal fan but credit where credit is due . why be negative when you know the truth ?? liverpool need to start rotating players earlier next season to be in with a chance . good luck liverpool.

They're having a mare! The problems in defence have not helped with the uncertaincy of who will play where. The team were also based around Viera for the past 5 or 6 seasons and he completed a well kept team, with his departure to Juve, the teams slick fluidity fell apart and is only now re-gelling. \n\nIn Europe however there is such a strong commitment, Arsenal have never done this well and are playing stronger than any other team left in the competition. There is something to prove here and I think that they'll go all the way.

Because their team colours are black and white.

Arsenal ain't sore losers, every gooner knows that the team is being re-built around some of the best young players in the world. Rival supporters have told me walcott and fabregas are crap, yeah right, like they wouldn't want them in their squads.\n\nWhen your older players retire and one of the best teams in the world breaks up, it needs re-building, and that isn't done with an open wallet, its done by finding the best young talent and making them even better. \n\nOf course the players themselves are angry at losing, they set themselves high standards which at present are not being met, but when the team is ready and the young players have matured, do YOU think they will be beaten in the way they've been lately. This team was never going to rival Chelsea and man u this season or maybe even next, but when the boys are men, were gonna be invincible again,,,,,

Because they have been poorly managed for the last decade.  The young players aka Spice boys were not footballers but party animals with some football skills but lots of ill-discipline.\nThe Spanish manager and players connection brings new hope but Chelsea and Man U has brought the EPL to another level.

probably the weakest since the back four of Tony Adams, Nigel Winterburn, Steve Bould & Martin Keown were in the squad & with the loss of Patrick Vieira to Juventus, they are not the same Arsenal team as they used to be!!
