Random Arsenal Shit (When it's not worth starting a thread)

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Don't be silly, nobody on GW has ever been to the ground

[Coney]

I'll have you know I've been to Highbury plenty of times this season.

Quite right. The Emirates Stadium is indeed in Highbury, N5.

yay we won a trophy

[Dennis Bendtner]

We excel at that shit tbf. A magic carpet.

You have to be pretty happy when you compare it to Bayern's pitch yesterday, or the ridiculousness of the San Siro.

excellent groundsman. shame the team we have to play on it is shite

what a waste of a groundsman

[Coney]

Not sure how much is the groundsman. When the Emirates pitch was laid, there was a netting mesh built into the top grass layer to prevent it ripping up, so the groundsman gets a head start. (Plus the design of the stadium - those strange curves up and down at the back of the upper stands and the roof shape - is to make sure there is good airflow over the pitch. A lot of fancy looking stadiums are not well designed from an airflow point of view so you get a lot of stagnant air, which has a bad effect on the grass.

Arsenal Stadium design.

No idea what club is 12th. The BBC site couldn't be bothered to include that.

As for us though...fourth is a trophy.

3. Barcelona - $1,307bn (£1.07bn)
4. Arsenal - $1,292bn (£800m)

That doesn't make any sense. Converting Dollars to Pounds should give a much closer figure to Arsenal's £800m for Barca.
