Well, I suppose to some - including my mate Gareth - yes Highbury is a holy place. I'll forgive you!

It is a great concept but it didn't seem to come out very sharp.

I get it, but I think this particular challenge called for a certain level of reverence, which this photo does not give to the topic.

Was this against Wigan? Nice history you had there indeed. I don't think Americans will understand how football is holy to Europians. Good luck with Barca. You gonna need it!

I think this is a stretch to fit into the challenge but others might not think so. Image seems tilted a bit to the left.

Unusual, but I like the patterns of the colors.

I guess everyone has their own opinion of a holy place...

Some might say that an Arsenal supporter is more like an Atheist but I'll mark your photo on merit rather than your taste in teams:-)

If You had said this is the Temple, Henry is God In your view it could have done Better.
St Jamses is a Far more religeous place though !
