Over in London, we didn't have much time to do much sight seeing but one thing I knew I had to do was do a pilgrimage to one of the Premier League Club's stadium and in London there is non bigger and better than the Emirates Stadium. Unfortunately as it is now, the team with the bigger better stadium is not necessarily the better team.
Enough of words, for all the Arsenal football fans, here are the highlights of the Emirates Stadium
A very bold declaration in a very understated manner
This is more like it!
Guess who is this fella? No no not that smiling goondu in the green jacket. The statue, the guy with the outstretched hands
Is this all there is to the Arsenal's haul?
A time capsule. Wonder what went into it?
And finally, the very familiar sights to all soccer fans:
The tunnel to the field
And of course the beautiful pitch.
I think the fellas from our sports hub need to come here and learn from them how to maintain the pitch.
And some places we don't get to see on the television:
The VIP dining room. There is even a celebrity chef to cook for the guests! Unfortunately we were not considered "guest" so no nice meal for us.
This is the physiotherapy room where the players get their massage and do their recovery
The shower room. Why no doors and partition?
The Changing Room. The kitman will lay out the players's attire and everything else here
In comparison, the visitor changing room is so plain.
That's me, ahem, giving my end of game press conference
There is even an Arsenal Museum.
Those were the days when policemen worn shorts and Arsenal was known as Woolwich Arsenal and playing in Division Two at Highbury.
Anybody young enough to have ever worn wooden soccer boots?
And do you know Arsenal ever had such a colorful top?
And a screen grab from one of the many videos featuring one of the greatest Arsenal star
Last but not least, a giant poster with the very best of Arsenal!
