General comments

No dead or ambiguous links.
Images need alternative text per WP:ALT.
Lead
"It was the final season where home matches were played.." I think "in which" would be better than "where".
"..at the club's stadium Highbury after.." Sounds a little odd this way around; would "..at the club's Highbury stadium after.." work better?
"..and knocked out of the FA Cup as holders, against Bolton Wanderers in the fourth round." I know what you are trying to say, but I think in the lead, it might be better to remove the bit about them being holders, as it makes the sentence a little difficult to follow.
"..from Stuttgart on an undisclosed fee.." Should be "for" rather than "on".
"..signed midfielder Abou Diaby, striker Emmanuel Adebayor and teenager Theo Walcott." This sounds a little odd, as it apparently equates two positions with an age (midfielder, striker, teenager).
Highbury
"A redcurrant home kit was designed to honour the shirts first worn in the club's first season at Highbury." No need for the repetition of "first".
Transfers
"..club in an undisclosed fee on.." Again, this should be "for", not "in"
Where in the references does it state whether the player was signed for the first team or the reserves?
"Loan expires" should be "Loan expired"
The use of flags in the tables is in contravention of the manual of style guidelines for flags which states that "The name of a flag's country (or province, etc.) should appear adjacent to the first use of the flag icon, as virtually no readers are familiar with every flag, and many flags differ only in minor details." This is further relevant for the Pre-season and UEFA Champions League sections.
FA Community Shield
I think it would be worth clarifying in this section that they had won the FA Cup in the previous season, not this one.
The quote from Wenger doesn't sound that critical: he may have meant it that way, but it could also just be interpreted as him praising their long ball game: it might be worth removing the direct quote and simply explaining what he criticised.
I will continue this review later. Harrias talk 16:57, 4 October 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the work so far. Unfortunately, real life commitments mean I will not be able to continue the review at this stage, I have posted at the GA talk page (here) to see if someone else will take on the review. My sincere apologies, Harrias talk 19:27, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
Taken over by me.
