A general theory of modern stadium design is that the real money is made by mashing together a sports arena, an entertainment complex and shops, bars and restaurants. The idea is to create as many opportunities as possible to separate as many punters as possible from their cash before, after and between the relative handful of home games in a single sports team’s season.
Nowhere better exemplifies this ambition than SoFi Stadium in the Los Angeles suburb of Inglewood. Situated on 121 hectares that was once the Hollywood Park Racetrack, the $5 billion development was masterminded by the billionaire US property developer Stanley E. Kroenke. The name might ring a bell.
SoFi Stadium
Opened in 2020, SoFi is home to Kroenke’s NFL team, the Los Angeles Rams. It is also rented to the rival Los Angeles Chargers and hosts showpiece college American football games and wrestling tournaments. It will stage eight matches in next year’s FIFA World Cup finals, the NFL’s Super Bowl the year after, and the swimming events at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, as well as co-hosting the Games’ opening ceremony.
Taylor Swift, J-Lo and BTS are among many headliners to play tour dates in the stadium. Capacity can be expanded from 70,240 seats to 100,000 for gigs. Lesser lights perform in SoFi’s ‘intimate’ (6,000-seat) performance venue.
The YouTube Theatre — the naming rights were part of a 10-year digital media, streaming, and tech operations deal between SoFi and Google — sits under the same roof as the pitch and American Airlines Plaza — yep, more naming rights sold — which opens out onto 36,000 square metres of retail space. Offices and apartments will follow. Ka-ching! Ka-ching! Ka-ching!
So, I hear you ask, how will this creation of stable, diversified revenue streams, as sports investors prefer to call luring in as many people as possible to sell them stuff and experiences as expensively as the market will bear, materialise at the Stadium of Stone?
Self-evidently, the club does not have 121 hectares of undeveloped suburban land to play with. The Emirates sits on a narrow triangle hemmed in by railway lines and buildings. So let us turn for clues to the redevelopment plans for another of Kroenke’s stadiums, the Ball Arena, home to three of his other US pro sports teams, the Denver Nuggets (basketball), the Colorado Avalanche (ice hockey) and the Colorado Mammoth (lacrosse).
Ball Arena
Located near downtown Denver, this domed indoor arena opened in 1999. It is named for our official sustainable aluminium beverage packaging partner, the Ball Corporation. What? You didn’t realise the Arsenal had an official sustainable aluminium beverage packaging partner? Try to keep up!
Ball Arena, too, is hemmed in by a railway, also a creek and two multi-lane highways. However, being in America, it has large parking lots. One of these will be buried under a newly created public park that will connect to downtown via a pedestrian bridge that is being designed to be a landmark. Three other bridges will connect to surrounding districts, one of which happens to be a recent Kroenke residential development on the wrong side of the creek.
This is more of an urban-regeneration project than SoFi, closer in conception to what has been proposed for the Old Toilet in Manchester. The master plan was submitted for planning permission in April. Phase One, due to break ground next year, includes a hotel, a performance venue and two apartment blocks, plus the park. As a new mixed-use district develops around the arena, central Denver’s population would potentially double, and the footfall, as they say in the retail trade, would become self-generating. That, at least, is the theory.
Ashburton Grove does not have the same scope to be an engine of the urban renewal of Islington. Yet, the club is community-minded, and part of the team’s connection to fans lies in its North London identity. Providing open, if commercialised, public spaces and improving pedestrian access to and from the surrounding streets and transport could help win council approval for work on the stadium itself.
Arsenal’s Social and Economic Impact Report released last November, laying out the benefits of the stadium to the borough, has the whiff of groundwork for a goodwill campaign.
Immersive opulence
Yet, let us look more closely at what is planned for Ball Arena itself. Capacity — 21,000 for concerts; 18,000-19,000 for sports events — will not increase significantly. What will change —dramatically — will be the experience of attending games through more and swankier hospitality facilities and a significant infusion of technology.
Ball Arena will also have a version of SoFi’s infinity screen, an immersive 120-yard oval video screen above the pitch that is a wonder in its own right (see the promotional video). Under a domed roof, it will probably look more like the ring of video screens in Real Madrid’s revamped Bernabéu.
On a smaller scale, the plans include using augmented reality technology and real-time AI-driven game data to give fans a more personalised and immersive gameday experience. Kroenke is as big on the digitalisation of the gameday experience as he is on the creation of digital media assets.
The money-generating renovations will come from hospitality suites and private VIP lounges, promised to be of an unprecedented level of opulence and exclusivity, fit for ‘Denver’s celebrity and sports elite fan base’ with fine dining and private butlers.
In line with a growing trend in US sports, these luxury skyboxes and lounges are likely to move from their customary high position closer to the pitch. That implies the displacement of some regular seating.
Ball Arena will also become fully accessible and include sustainability features beyond aluminium recycling, such as solar power.
It will also get a fan zone — space immediately outside the arena for fans to gather before, after and between games — and spend yet more money.
The arena plans to show games live there on giant screens for fans who do not have a ticket (or cannot afford one) to be inside. Watching sport live on Jumbotrons in public open spaces is not uncommon in the United States, but usually at some distance from the event, not close enough to join in the singing.
If you have made it this far, first, congratulations, and second, you have been reading a laundry list of things Kroenke has done/will do at his other stadiums that could come to the Ems. He is aware, though, that not everything that fans in LA or Denver expect or will lap up will necessarily translate to N5.
N5
We have scant hard information at this point about Kroenke’s plans for the Emirates, regardless of multiple AI-generated videos claiming to be ITK. Silent Stan keeps his projects in development tightly under wraps. Josh Kroenke, the voice of Kroenke Sports & Entertainment in London, has said little more than the club began exploring expansion options a year ago, and architects and engineers of renown are being consulted.
Rest assured, Stan Kroenke will not simply flick through architectural renderings and pick one that catches his eye. He will have a crystal clear idea of the overarching commercial objectives of the project — the vision, in the parlance of this side of the pond. Technology, creativity and experiences will be at its core, as they were for SoFi and are for Ball Arena.
There is speculation that the design brief includes increasing the Emirates’ capacity to up to 80,000, incorporating more premium hospitality facilities, improving the matchday experience with technology, making the stadium more suitable for multi-use and greater footfall on non-match days. Those would be logical goals, given the need to make the stadium a greater revenue generator
As we have discussed, the Emirates’ site imposes design constraints. An all-around outward expansion to accommodate more seats, in the style seen in recent stadium redevelopment across Europe, would be challenging.
Increasing capacity means digging down (as happened at SoFi) or, more likely, building up. On the upside of raising the roof, as well as making room for more seats and fixing the roof’s maintenance problems, the acoustics for matchdays and concerts could be improved at the same time. On the downside, it would be expensive and an engineering challenge.
There is a tricky cost-benefit calculation. New seats high under the roof would be the most expensive to build, but also carry the cheapest ticket prices. Additional revenue from the expansion of premium hospitality lounges would need to be factored in, but so, too, regaining capacity lost to more corporate suites, especially if these are to be nearer the pitch.
A second engineering challenge is the playing surface. Will it need to be able to be routinely swapped out for surfaces suitable for other sports, concerts and events, either using a sliding tray as they do at the marshy end of the Seven Sisters Road or a high-tech solution such as Real Madrid has adopted, a miracle of engineering-meets-groundskeeping that stores the pitch underground.
Another key decision will be whether to move out for a couple of seasons while the renovation is being done, as Barcelona did, or follow Liverpool’s model of expanding Anfield’s capacity in sequential phases.
What the Bernabéu renovation has done for Madrid’s finances underscores what is at stake financially. Matchday revenues in 2023-24, which covered the first six months back in its revamped stadium, were €248 million, more than double the previous season. Half the increase came from new premium seats, including personal seat licences.
A crude calculation indicates that increasing the Ems’ capacity by a third would add £50 million to our matchday revenues (£153 million in the last published accounts). However, a bias to expanding hospitality and premium seating is likely to result in a much higher take. Additionally, more non-match events and commerce would enhance commercial revenue, while a shiny renovation would raise the stadium’s value to sponsors. That, at least, is the theory — as your wallets may soon attest.
Excellent article, Ned. Really interesting.
Ned
This is an outstanding article on what may await Arsenal fans of the future.The viewer experience is getting progressively more extravagant when watching sport. I was reflecting today on my first visit to Wimbledon in 1967 and the sort of facilities one enjoys today but I was able to go as a local schoolboy to see the semi- final with avery modest income . The prices are obscene now. Will we see the same trend at Arsenal?
My other concern is that however modern and sophisticated the football experience is we are still very much in the hands of TfL . Not sure they can rise to the challenge of dealing with 80,000 fans
Wonderful stuff , many thanks
Very interesting piece, Ned, for which many thanks. It would be interesting to know more about the availability of land in the vicinity of each of the sites you describe in the US and the local government attitudes to development. In London, we have dogmatically driven Ideologues at both City and local council levels who seem to make it ever more difficult for the city to thrive. As TTG points out, the local public transport infrastructure is pretty much at full capacity, and that is after capacity increases at both Highbury and Islington and Finsbury Park stations. Holloway Road and Drayton Park stations are already closed before and after matches. The finance required to improve capacity at Holloway Road in particular would be mind boggling. The impact on the traffic flow on Holloway and surrounding Roads would most likely be monstrous with concomitant impacts on local residents and businesses. The Mayor of London has already made driving in Islington a living hell. It can take 30 minutes to get from Highbury Grove past Highbury Corner, for example. A distance of no more than 3-400 yards. It’s difficult to see how a decent ROI can be attainable in any meaningful investment horizon, given the requirement for transport developments and additional housing to be made available as part of any such development, given that there is very little available land in the area as it stands and it is already at a premium. Did Uncle Stan encounter such issues in LA or Denver?
Superb analysis Ned and a very informative exposition of the potential development of the stadium if Kroenke’s stateside developments are any clue. However as CER observes the layers of inefficient, self-serving, virtue signalling ideologues in UK government, local government and planning departments provide a massive obstacle to simple expansion let alone a futuristic development along those lines. I think our politicians will prove a far greater obstacle than the engineering challenge.
CER@3: This is the concept plan for the full Ball Arena redevelopment. Phase One is just the arena and the bit in the near corner leading towards downtown Denver (where this picture is looking from). The site is obviously pretty big (and Kroenke owned) and mostly empty, mainly acres of parking lots, a building or two (apart from the Ball Arena), an old funfair, and some waterfront green space, grandly called gardens. (That’s Mile Hile Stadium at the back of the project, btw.) At SoFi, Kroenke had a racecourse to build on. So both sites are on a scale hugely different from what he has to play with at the Emirates, unless he has been secretly landbanking vast swathes of N5. Attitudes to development in the US are vastly different to the UK, especially as municipalities run on property taxes. Nimbyism is alive and well, nonetheless and SoFi is getting some blowback for gentrifying Inglewood. Property prices have soared so much that the workers in the local businesses that have thrived since the arrival of the stadium can’t afford their rents anymore. Denver will be a de novo district, so Kroene won’t face that criticism. Public transport isn’t the same problem with US stadiums as it is in the UK. Everyone drives (hence the massive parking lots to build over). Outside a couple of cities like NY and LA, public transport is for the poor, who can’t afford match tickets anyway.
Fascinating, Ned. Your point about the gentrification of Inglewood is interesting. There isn’t too much more room for gentrification in N1/ N5! It’s amazing to see what can be done if the will is there.
great piece ned (and trev prior, half that stuff i knew nothing about!). a few things to mention about sofi, and any potential changes to the ems.
i have no knowledge of denver’s arena, its development, and how it will affect the population.
i grew up in los angeles, about ten miles northwest of hollywood park, which became sofi. while i was never at hollywood park, i did go to the fabulous forum for lakers games and concerts a number of times growing up. and i’ve now been to sofi twice to watch arsenal in preseason (2023, 2024). i have only been to north london a few times, and to the grove to watch arsenal there three times (sitting in the north bank upper with TTG, the north bank lower with CER, and in trev’s nb upper seats with mrs. scruz…thanks to all again, and to 21stCG for his seat with CER).
i can say this with certainty: there is no way to (re)develop the grove so it even approaches what is at sofi.
the area of the grove is 17 acres, assuming it’s what’s bounded by drayton park, bryantwood rd., benwell rd., and the train tracks; most of these are the hard boundaries (i.e., not parking, not neglected businesses, etc.). the stadium itself is a touch more than 10K square meters. most people get to the games by transportation other than personal vehicle (c100 excepted, certainly!). the meets and bounds survey style of london means there are few clear paths away, and as ttg says TFL will have a fit if they expand…unless other accommodations are made.
the area around sofi is 298 acres, and the stadium itself is 290K square meters (including all the surrounds under the roof, on all levels). most of the 298 acres is parking; there are things like cosm LA (that cool place to watch games with the huge curved videowall), and the forum, but mostly it’s parking. and it’s bounded between major thoroughfares in a grid pattern, with easy delivery of fans to and from the local freeways in their personal vehicles…i’d doubt more than 1% of the fans take public transport… we took buses due to our arsenal america club affiliation. but we had to hike back of beyond to get to our bus to return to the bar where we started!
it’s going to be incredibly difficult to create the type of public facilities around the emirates that sofi provides. there are restaurants, cafes, bars, shops, etc., plus the fan engagement spaces outside. the stadium itself has like seven tiers; i was in the second tier behind goal for both games and was about halfway between CER’s north bank lower seats and TTGs north bank upper seats, in terms of height above the pitch. when halftime comes you have a full menu of expensive foods at sofi; a beer and a burger was something like $25 (£18+), and it took well into the second half to get through the lines and be served.
what sofi has is the space that’s currently occupied by single-level parking. if they took two or three of the flat areas and converted them into multi-story structures with the same number of exits (and fixing the godawful traffic flow that forces people to take forever to leave the game) they could develop housing, businesses, and parks to their heart’s content.
while going to sofi is a hell of an experience, i can’t agree with stubbsy that it’s the best stadium in the world. for one, the sound system SUCKS. at neither game could i understand a word that was coming out of the system (not so at the grove). that curved video screen is so high that it’s hard to see; they put it way the hell up there rather than block sightlines…but it’s essentially useless as a video screen for anything but the score. where’s chris and his largest screen when we need him? the wi-fi is terrible, and because of the nature of the build getting cell signal is impossible until you’re outside. the directional signage is often ambiguous, and just walking around the bowl would get you your 10000 steps. it’s just scaled too big. getting songs going in sofi was also a lot of wasted effort. it’s too big. not so at the grove…the intensity of that liverpool game in 2023 was magical. i much prefer the experience i had at the grove. the open sky, the greenness of the grass, the way you walk in and see the pitch…all magical.
maybe that magic will be there someday at sofi, but i doubt it. it already felt jaded, a bit carnival-barker mixed with sex-work mixed with used car salesman…a very, very manufactured experience, with little room for the personal.
i don’t know how they’ll expand the grove. they can’t go down, the bowl is shaped wrong; i also think there’s parking under many sections that would have to be completely reconfigured. they *may* be able to manage some sort of sliding floor to protect the pitch for other endeavors. up and out is the only way, and that’s going to be an architectural/engineering nightmare…but apparently it can be done. all the nice spaces around the outside where the statues and the tiles are would probably have to be sacrificed, but that would also give opportunities for shops beneath the new seats for further opportunities to skin the natives.
if the grove added 20K seats, some decent places to eat (a variety, in price and style), and kept the punter’s pie and beer roughly the same as now (iirc, £13 or so for both?), and made sure there was damn good wifi across the entire stadium, you might actually improve the matchday experience for the many while adding the few.
Great investigative work, Ned. Or work by the monks, anyway. :-).
Even if it makes me think it might be time to give up match attendance soon, weirdly.
A great and highly informative piece Ned. And thanks for a great, first hand contribution Scruz.
What an excellent Johnny on the Spot comparison, scruz, of both the stadiums themselves but moreover of the match-going experience adding vibrant colour to Ned’s excellent blueprints. Your comparison of the different atmosphere therein reminds me of the comparison of the first few years in the Grove to the atmosphere and involvement we left behind at Highbury. Thankfully, in the Arteta era the old atmosphere is being recaptured.
Speaking of stadium upgrades
https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6468756/2025/07/08/barcelona-camp-nou-stadium-return-joan-gamper/
scruz@7: terrific drink. There is no question that the atmosphere at US stadiums for any sport is different from what you get at a UK football ground. Another reason to add to those you list is the structured absence of away fans because of the geographical distances involved. There is also the cultural gap in that US pro sports have long aimed at attracting a middle-class family audience (because that is wheere the money was). The crowds that gather in sports bars are more akin to what you get inside the stadiums in the UK. In one of the many promotional clips about SoFi, one of the executives says they were taken aback by the passion of the fans when they first staged a football match. The Infinity Screen is probably most needed by those in the upper tiers of SoFi as they are so far from the pitch. The irony is that they go to a game but watch it on a screen. Sure, it’s an experiential (and pricey) upgrade to watching from the comfort of their couch at home, but it’s somewhat sad that we’ve reached this point.
Also, your point about places like SoFi being a manufactured experience is well made, because it is. I also suspect that fans have a different connection to a sports arena if it is regularly used for multiple purposes. Do New York Knicks fans have that deep feeling that Madison Square Garden is ‘home’ when the next time they go, it could be for a concert, a boxing match, martial arts, a hockey game, a comedy show, a dog show or a political convention?
C100@11: Thanks for the link. No one said that stadium rebuilding was cheap or easy. SoFi cost around twice its original budget. One reason was that it sits under flight paths to LAX airport. Kroenke unexpectedly had to dig down two stories after the project had started, so that the structure wasn’t high enough to interfere with the electronics on aircraft as they came into land.
The money sentence in the Camp Nou article is the last one, the quote from Barca vice-president Elena Fort: The estimates are that we’ll triple the operating income we had at the previous Camp Nou.
Impeccable research and writing as usual, Ned. I knew nothing of any of it and it does kind of point to the psyche of the American owners.
Great perspective from scruz too @7.
The worrying thing about these developments, I think, is that in the minds of our owners the football appears only to be a vehicle to enable the extraction of more and more cash from the fans, which is clearly the main priority. The football that these owners – the Kroenkes and others – have landed on as that vehicle was grown by fans of lifelong loyalty who cared barely a jot about the quality of match day food and drink, phone communications, merchandising and Jumbotrons in fan areas.
The essence of what that support and loyalty grew on is being lost to the extent that the fans who made the game can no longer afford to go and watch it.
I accept that times and the game have moved on. The Kroenkes do seem to be willing to try to keep us at the top of it. The question is what will be left of it ?
I’ve been told by two credible people and now see it appear on the Le Grove latest missive that Pslace may be tempted by Arsenal throwing in a defender to augment their offer for Eze.
That’s not surprising in itself but the identity being speculated upon is …..Josh Nichols our young right back . With the brilliant Munoz do they really need another right back ? Whatever , I think that is a deal most Gooners would do. Norgaard is apparently complete and will be announced imminently ( re Ornstein) . Does it even need to go up on Arsenal.com if he attests to it? 😀
Clery on Gyökeres:
Superb stuff from Adam Clery as ever. Thanks for the link, Ned.
Get me that man Gyökeres, Berta old chap!
Great pieces from Trev and Ned – thanks to you both! And to scruz too about the soul of a place.
I still find the idea of Gyokeres a little underwhelming, but the fact is there isn’t a great deal of centre forward talent available this summer, nor has there been for a while. I’m sure Arteta will improve whomever we get enormously. And it’s not as though we need a striker because we don’t score goals. In the last 3 seasons in terms of goal scoring we have finished second, second and third respectively. As Clery rightly points out, what we need is an additional source of goals, someone to get us goals we aren’t currently capable of scoring, not necessarily a Haaland type.
I was just reading Oviedo are planning to sign Santi up for another season
and HFB has just returned to a Ligue Un side for next season.
Although I am 20 years older than them I just want any scouts to know
that I also stand (though preferably not for long periods in this heat) ready
to accept a 1 year contract for the right club.
OM@21: 👍 There is no substitute for experience!
A most generous offer, Matt. How much would lure you back into football boots? £50k per week? Can I be your agent?
Welcome Christian Norgaard!
https://www.arsenal.com/news/christian-norgaard-signs-arsenal
Another important piece in the jigsaw.
Bath, I am happy to give you 100% of any money above 50k per week as agents fees.
And my own welcome too to Christian Norgaard. I must admit I thought we’d already announced it last week!
Was that a typo for 50p a week?
The Spuds are linked with Gibbs-White . He’s too good for them
And we’ve agreed a deal for Madueke according to Romano
@26 😱😱
@28 I saw that Romano story. Madueke was a regular for Chavski last season but would now presumably be an option on the right for us. I suppose if we apply last season’s logic of is he better than Reiss then I’d say he is an upgrade. The price seems to have exercised some of the fan base ranting about 50m+ etc etc but I believe that is with add ons and seems to be about the going rate. My only concern is the stories of disciplinary problems last season.
But then I had the same worries about Tross and MA seems to have managed him well enough.
Interesting that if Madueke joins that would be 3 out of 4 signings that will be on the bench at the beginning of the season. None coming on with 20 to go could be a fun watch.
I like Gibbs White but he’s a typical Spurs signing. Kudos as well. Frank has way more to do than sign these two, like sort out their defensive frailty and general sulking. Mid table for them. Not that my predictions are worth shite.
Times are suggesting Leo to Fenerbache for£20 m and Vieira is being linked with Parma for a similar price . Pedro at Le Grove thinks Romano is gaslighting us with the price for Madueke which he argues, persuasively , is likely to be closer to £30 m .
Anyway he’s going to be ours now so we love him
TTG @32,
In the past Le Grove has been a bit of an arse at times, but he makes a lot of sense with this one. I think he’s wide of the mark in hypothesising that Chelsea can get the amount past UEFA on the say so if a friendly journalist, though.
If Fenerbahce give us 20m for Leo I will be happily amazed.
If Madueke and Eze both come then something will have to give
and I am not sure Reiss is really sellable right away after his injury.
We are finding new pieces for the jigsaw. It used to be all about the first eleven and the occasional game-changing sub. It’s a new game now. C130y and the Dippers have shown us the way. We need a squad capable of rotation, as Trev has told us, to limit the wear and tear on muscles and ligaments and stress on joints and bones but without too great a drop-off in quality and output. We had an ample demonstration of the impact of losing key members of our first team last season and, while the players who stepped in did a fine job (take a bow Mikel Merino), the sheer number of top players lost inevitably had a cumulative impact on our game and eroded our charge to the title.
Kepa is a bargain back-up keeper and Norgaard is a superb replacement for Jorginho. Unquestionably as Matt observes @29, Madueke is a clear upgrade on Nelson as backup for Saka, and perhaps also for Martinelli and Eze (fingers crossed) will be an upgrade on Trossard as back-up for Ødegaard and change-merchant in the inside-forward position.
Now we need to finalise the deal for Gyokeres to come in and share the centre forward position with Havertz and if there’s any dosh left over, get that young Frenchman in to provide back-up for Saliba.
COYG
While Madueke was nowhere near my wish list, he is more PL oven ready than Williams at a fraction of the price and I trust Arteta’s judgement on the player’s potential and Berta’s strategy on using our resources. That purchase may give us wiggle room in the Gyokeres negotiation. Time will tell on both points.
What I am certain about is that the reaction to this deal from some members of our fan base outside this oasis of wisdom is despicable. For years I have known that there are tossers within our ranks but this offensive reaction demonstrates that there are utter vermin as well. Wind in your necks, you shits.
Bath @35 and 36
Every word my friend. Every word.
Bath@36- this is what comes of the immediacy of “information”, combined with stopping the teaching of how to think and replacing it with what to think.
I quite like the idea of Noni playing for the Arsenal.
For their fans’ sake, I hope Palace win the Europa Conference League next season, now they have been booted out of the Europa League because of the multi-club ownership rules.
CER@38: The problem with the internet is that it makes everyone know less and less about more and more until they know nothing about everything.
The brutal reality for so many youngsters who come up through the ranks:
From the club’s latest update on the summer transfer business to date:
Academy
Outs
Nathan Butler-Oyedeji – Lausanne (end of contract)
Reece Clairmont – released
Khayon Edwards – Estoril (end of contract)
Jakai Fisher – released
Romari Forde – released

Salah-Eddine Oulad M’Hand – released
Ismail Oulad M’Hand – released

Elian Quesada-Thorn – released
Michal Rosiak – released
Zacariah Shuaib – released
Some decent future professionals there. Hope they land a club soon.
Well said Bath @36 and 37. I despair of our fanbase sometimes . Apparently we have one of the biggest social media followings in this country and sadly a lot of them are iidiots with no knowledge or class .
I like the methodical way in which Berta is proceeding but I would like Eze and Gyokeres through the door but the reaction to a very good player in Madueke has been awful . He is a current England international and man of the match in our recent matches albeit with no Saka playing
Trust the process
Ned@41. Nicely put.
TTG@43- As Keenos over at She Wore says this morning, it’s funny how these attitudes are just non existent in the ground, at home and away. The people spewing this bile are just transferring their unhappiness with their own lives over which they have no control to the Arsenal. I’m glad none of them get tickets.
