I dont think it Blackrock, probably the other one. They are leveraged buyout specialists though. I cant see them pumping money into us unless they are setting us up to onsell. Would be an odd investment for them unless Schwarzmann and Gray are secret Spurs fans.

Could be used by the Qataris to get around the rules for owning more than one team. They will want influence in Britain with the shit storm happening with Fifa.

Did we lose our soul when the Monarchs played at the Lane?

A little piece but we got it back coz it was such a failed, BS venture.

This, by all accounts, is totally different. This is next level kinda shit bro. No refund on this purchase mofo.

Niger Petra: could it refer to Nigerian petro-dollar billionaire Aliko Dangote?

Africa's richest man, tried to acquire Arsenal in 2010, and rekindled the interest earlier this year. Perhaps he's moved on to THFC, or maybe it's all part of a ploy to reduce the asking price for another PL club.

Changing rooms and press area to be extended, could this be to facilitate NFL teams?

Passionate Arsenal fan, no thanks! He would probably insist on a pre-season tour of Ghana, Zambia, Togo, Niger and Cameroon?

The return of the London Monarchs. Somebody out there has some shirt from that short lived.....oooh.....it fits....FRANCHISE. And they are going to be wearing it like the cock of the walk soon :)

I remember a rumor about artificial pitch if the NFL came. That's just a bad rumor right?

The last rumour I heard was the stadium was going to have a natural grass pitch that can be removed and an artificial pitch below it would be used for the NFL. Thinking about it it'll be ideal as a slightly lower artificial pitch will mean the first few rows of the stand won't need to be covered up.
