And 27 fans worldwide who chant during the game.

Which makes them 1st in the league table for fucking muppet supporters.

The bulk of the 27 million Arsenal fans are probably under the age of 20 or so.

Glory hunters.. Throughout the 70's and 80's they had 17 barren years and struggled to get 20K attendances.

Hi DC-B

Sounds about right, I couldn't be Arsed to look up the info.

I'm a terribly rabid anti-Arsenal fan and shudder at the thought of my old man walking me up Stoke Newington Church Street from our house to Highbury when I was about 5.

Got my report yesterday, still recovering from the headache from all those bloody numbers:)

Still, always good to see the club performing so well off the pitch, well done Mr Levy:clap:

Nett £1m profit for the trading year. Almost like the fricking motor trade.
