I am so desperately sorry for the 0.2% of people who are so disappointed with our stunning new home. I love these (wannabe traffic warden) type of people.

Our club left Highbury begrudgingly yet with dignity and heads held high, our club did not ask us to converge in a field in Hertfordshire surrounded by trading estates and out of town shopping outlets. Our club found, chased and eventually secured a site within a stone’s throw of our home despite desperate opposition by people who probably were not quite sure why they were opposing our development but since their trade union was dismantled and the leather patches on the elbows were wearing thin, their character told them to protest.

But doggedly and passionately Mr Fiszman and his team built us the only possible replacement for a stadium with the majesty that Highbury possessed. We have the greatest stadium in the country -maybe Europe - with leg room, seats that don’t make your bum feel like a Gay Pride march has been through it and food that is maybe a couple of quid over priced. Well don’t bloody well eat it, go and get a McDonalds before you go in.

In fact, why don’t these people stop going all together and fill the armchairs vacated by the people that are now able to go to watch the greatest football the eye would want to see - because they now have a better chance of getting a ticket as our club has built us a stadium to cope with extra people. Jesus what did these people want, jam on it? Get a life or stay at home and keep your negative opinions to yourself.

And to Arsenal, I won’t be having too many beers inside the ground as I would rather drink the toilet water, and I won’t be eating too many of your burgers or pies as I can’t re-mortgage my house again. However I come to Ashburton Grove to watch the genius you have supplied on the turf. I will never forget the first time I saw that stadium inside and still five games in look round it in absolute awe. Thank you. Thank you very much.
