#4 Halal pies at half-time. No golf umbrellas but ceremonial swords welcome. Players face mecca before kick-off. A minaret at each corner of the pitch. Bitches.

#6 I don't think things went RoP at Oxford after they moved into the Kassam Stadium, did they?

#8 I suggest that Arsenal get the money up front. There are several football stadiums in the US that were initially bankrolled by Princes of the Desert...pitches were laid, seating constructed and balls purchased...then the "letters of credit" fell through. OUCH!

#10 Oxford who?

Hey, they only needed three goals to have beaten Bristol Rovers on Saturday. If Arsenal started performing like that, it'd be good news for English football.

#11
IIRC the former Oxford's former ground was a major threat to public safety - they need the money more than Arsenal. Arsenal were named after the famous British munitions factory at Woolwich and are a major ambassador for English football abroad. Says to all and sundry they/we've sold out to the a-rabs. Does it have anything to do with their proximity to Finsbury Park?

#12 What's the relative geography of the stadium, Finsbury Mosque and Mecca? If Finsbury is east of the stadium that'll fit, because they can face the Finsbury mosque and pay homage to it as well as they bow down to Mecca before each game.

Then they can change their name from Arsenal to Arsehole, which will also fit because their arseholes will be pointing to the West and at a disgusted British public.

#13 "No, no, no! I told you to purchase a arsenal, not buy Arsenal!"
"Sorry boss"

#14 Who does Chelsea put on their strips now? Didn't it use to be Emirates? Hey, I have a great idea for the great north-south London derby - have El Al sponsor Chelsea!

#15 Don't get so upset, Howard, it's only soccer. Not like it was real football. Tho' the niners renaming the 'Stick "Monster Park" comes close.
