Football pitches are always of the same size unlike cricket grounds. but Emirates stadium is bigger than highbury thats why the pitch appears wider.

No doubt. I was there in 1979 when Arsenal were 2-0 up against Man U wiith 5 minutes to go and it finished 3-2. The most heart stopping exhilarating 5 minutes in FA Cup history. No contest

I'd be nice, but as the Papists have already quickly pointed out, we probably wouldn't fill it that often.  At last year's AGM there was talk of an 8000ish extension by lowering the pitch a few metres and losing the extra space around the pitch.  Personally I'd have to say that I'd prefer the money to go into the transfer kitty, or maybe even giving Chris Burke as much money as he we can throw at him so he signs a new deal.

I think they are better at Highbury than Emirates... maybe they haven played long enuff in Emirates to get really comfortable there but u can see they are playing better each home game... but still they've played in Highbury for so many years already, itz natural tat they fare better at Highbury... maybe after Arsenal settled into Emirates, we can have this question again... and this time, it'll be interesting to answer...

Arsenal was not bad, actually they were brilliant, this is how football should be played, I can't believe that they missed all that opportunities, but that doesn't mean that they didn't show awesome performance and really good team work!!!! I'm telling you Emirates Stadium is CURSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Arsenal are are an association football club who play in the English Premier League. They have an illustrious past, which you can read about via the sources below.\n\nAs their founding team members all worked at the Royal Arsenal, an armaments factory in Woolwich, south-east London, they called themselves 'Royal Arsenal' (although their original name was 'Dial Square'.) The club turned professional in 1891, which meant that the club had to lose their association with the Royal Arsenal. They changed their name, but kept the 'Arsenal' bit, and their new name was 'Woolwich Arsenal'. In 1893, the club joined the Football League.\n\nBetween 1893 and 1910 life at the club was a bit gloomy, and Woolwich Arsenal nearly went bankrupt. However, a businessman called Sir Henry Norris bought the club, and quickly realised that it would be beneficial to the club to move from south-east London (where attendances were low, due to it being an underpopulated area) to north London. Thus, the club dropped 'Woolwich' from their name, and happily lived ever after (always being known as just 'Arsenal' and playing at Highbury).\n\nAs of August 2006, the club will play at the newly-built Emirates Stadium, which is very near the old Highbury ground.

According to Simon Inglis's definitive work, Football Grounds Of Britain, the three highest league grounds above sea level belong to West Bromwich Albion, Port Vale and Oldham Athletic. The Hawthorns - built in 1900 - is the highest of the lot, standing at 551 feet above sea level. Next comes Vale Park (525 feet) and Boundary Park (509 feet).\n\nThe highest football ground in England, though, is at Silverlands, home to Buxton FC, which is more than 1,000 feet above sea level.

Hillsborough Stadium (Sheff Wed's ground) currently has a capacity of 39,859.\n\nIn London, only Stamford Bridge (Chelsea, 42,055) and The Emirates Stadium (Arsenal, 60,432) have bigger capacities.

Hope springs eternal. Forza Milano Campioni D'Europa.\n\nBut seriously, I was having this discussion with a friend yesterday. This is Arsenal's best ever chance, if they don't take it, they will have to wait a long time.\n\nA club of Milan size, we know it will be soon when outr team triumphs again. The same goes for Barcelona, if they don't win it this year, they'll do it before the decade is out. \nEnglish clubs must seize the opportunity when it prsents itself.

While Arsenals run has been very impressive with 9 straight clean sheets, I feel it will come to an end in Paris against Barcelona.  I definatley am leaning towards Barca and Ronaldinho, however won't count Arsenal out due to the way they play.  There are two reasons I am picking Barca to win, the first is that Arsenal at times have struggled on the road, and while this isn't a Barca home game, it also is not in the friendly confines of Highbury.  The other reason I feel they won't win is because I feel that it is Barca's time, and they are just too strong offensively to stop.\n\nThis game however really could go either way, both teams play a very offensive minded system, with lots of free flowing football.  It really should be an incredible game to watch.  I would be surprised if the scoreline was something like 3-2 or some other high goal count.

Tottenham (Hotspur) and Arsenal are both in North London whereas Chelsea is in west London it'd take no more than 30 minutes to get from arsenal to spurs and no more than an hour to get from arsenal to chelsea

Yes, the rule was changed after the Liverpool situation last year. Arsenal would go in as the 4th English side in the Champs Lge, and the side that finish 4th (prob Spurs) will go in the UEFA Cup.
