And to top it off, Big Vinnie dropping some science son
āLess empty seats leads to a better TV product (money) but also better atmosphere, which in turn affects testosterone levels and territorial behaviour in players, therefore increasing home advantage. Thereās financial value in every added league point too,ā Kompany said.
Itās crazy that a club like Juventus spent ā¬155m on their stadium (which is admittedly smaller than Spurs new ground) but I canāt see how theyāre on the verge of spending over 6 times that amount.
I mean Atletico themselves spent only ā¬240m on their 67,000 seater stadium.
I just donāt understand where the inflated cost comes from.
Iām surprised how many arsenal fans think we will come above Tottenham to be honest, they have comfortably finished above us the last 2 seasons and I donāt think our summer signings are anywhere near enough to overhaul that gap.
I agree.
They have still managed to keep all their best players, which is something we failed to do when we moved to the Emirates, and we havenāt really strengthened significantly in the transfer window, so it seems unlikely that with a new manager we are going to finish above them.
I donāt mind finishing fifth in the PL, as long as spurs are sixth.
Finishing behind them for yet another season is unacceptable but more than likely.
