it's nice to see Arsenal getting credit for building a world-class stadium on time and on budget.

Every time I see or hear a commentator rail against the FA for bungling Wembley, they give us credit for Ashburton Grove.

:D

Looks like we may host some England games as well.

The funniest part was reading that they've put the nets up on the pitch. Well done, guys. Stadium's about a year behind schedule, cost overruns are threatening to exceed the GDP of Ghana and part of the roof fell in (if I remember right), but by God we have nets up! Next thing to happen is for Frank Lampard to take a practice shot, fire wide, hit a girder and bring down a whole section of the stands.
