Arsenal made a profit last year, despite a drop in property sales (because we had already sold most of Highbury Square) and despite buying buy not selling players. The operating profit (before exceptional costs, depreciation and player trading) in the football business was £45.8 million (2010 – £56.8 million). The gains made on the commercial [...] October 10th, 2011 | Category: Arsenal stories, Football grounds |
51 comments - (Comments are closed) An evening in Dortmund By Walter Broeckx Going to Dortmund is a drive with the car of about 2 hours from my home. So it actually is closer than London is.

We’ve debated this issue over and over again – how big is the waiting list at Arsenal for season ticket in the main part of the ground (by which I mean upper and lower tiers, not Club Level and Diamond Geezer Level). The Anti-Arsenal Arsenal (AAA) web sites have suggested since [...] July 30th, 2010 | Category: Arsenal stories, Football & club strategies, Football grounds |
13 comments - (Comments are closed) It never used to be like this. In the olden days each season was pretty much the same as the season before. There’d be two new clubs in the First Division (usually West Ham and Blackburn, if memory serves) and every other year we would have a new centre forward (probably Scottish). If there had [...] July 24th, 2010 | Category: Arsenal stories, Corruption, Finances, Football & club strategies, Football grounds |
12 comments - (Comments are closed) By Tony Attwood The last post (the one from Walter on what you can and can’t say to a ref) was about football with attitude. So this is about football with altitude. Clever eh?

I have had two enquiries from friends of this site, both of whom live outside of the UK, both asking for help in terms of their visits. I’m more than happy to pass on the questions.

24 comments - (Comments are closed) By Walter Broeckx I remember the day that Belgium had it’s greatest tragedy in football history very well. I know it was a very bright and sunny day.

13 comments - (Comments are closed) The Football Association chief executive resigned on 18th March 2010 after about nine months in the job. Like virtually all of his recent predecssors he has simply thrown in the towel once he realised the enormity of the problem the FA faces. No reason has been given for his departure, and at the moment I [...] March 22nd, 2010 | Category: Arsenal stories, Corruption, Finances, Football grounds, International affairs, FIFA, UEFA |
27 comments - (Comments are closed) By Walter Broeckx Another eventful game I must say and once again some very strange things going on, on a football field.

16 comments - (Comments are closed) Billy the Dog was not quite in the best of moods or the finest of fettle when I met him on the allotment to discuss the game against the almighty Notlob in the Land of the Fabled Beast. I started by asking the question everyone asks, “Is there life in Bolton?” “It doesn’t really matter,” [...] January 17th, 2010 | Category: All Tomorrow's Parties, Arsenal stories, Football & club strategies, Football grounds, History, Match reviews and previews, Players |
32 comments - (Comments are closed) This article deals a little bit about Arsenal/Chelsea (well it gives the score), with the arrogance and re-writing of history by at least one man in Liverpool, with the latest on Notts C and Sven, and any other bits and pieces I think about on the way. In short, it is a saturday morning and [...] November 28th, 2009 | Category: Arsenal stories, Corruption, Finances, Football grounds, International affairs, FIFA, UEFA, Journalists and their comments |
4 comments - (Comments are closed) By Walter Broeckx As Tony recently wrote an article about some terrible grounds in the UK I must say that one of my favourite things during the holidays is going to stadiums.
