Arsene on good form this morning. Well said, imo.

"When you build a stadium, we had five to seven difficult financial years where we had to pay back - we had (to qualify) for the Champions League three years out of five and have an average (gate) of 54,000 people (to finance the new stadium). We didn't know we would be capable of that.

"We had to sell our best players every year to survive, but we didn't do three years out of five in the Champions League. We did five out of five. But during that time, it was very difficult."

Funny when people said that when it was happening. It was completely denied by the club and by the 'wenger knows best' types.


I am hoping LA is online to catch the bait.
