It's been one of the great economic sort of soft power success stories of Britain in the last 30 years.
And Arsenal, I think they do attract a...
They do attract a very cosmopolitan internationalist crowd.
It has always been a very outward looking club in terms of its influences and the people that it chooses to appoint and the people that it appeals to.
Yeah, I mean, it's an interesting question.
I mean, I guess a couple of things, really.
I mean, football clubs at this very rarefied level of achievement.
Arsenal are not the richest club in Britain.
They haven't won for 22 years.
There's a weight of history there.
They are almost expected to fail.
They've only really been able to succeed by every part of the club pulling together in the same direction, creating as broad a church as possible.
You know, you get the fan base on side and you get the, you know, you try and reach out to fans that have maybe been disaffected in the past.
You do that through, you know, through social media, you do that through ticketing or you do that through the media.
You try and create this club as a broad church, as a roof for everyone's head.

that have been taken for long-term reasons, but have caused him a lot of pain in the short term.
You know, Arteta jettisoned a really successful goalkeeper in Aaron Ramsdale.
You know, he's jettisoned club legends and players that have been in the club for years and years and very popular with fans.
