Emirates Stadium Makeover

Clrnc

Oh damn this looks good.

Conclusion: The way of unveil was the problem

James

Looks excellent. Really looking forward to seeing them at Brentford.

KingslandBarge

So far so good on the maoist revolutionary/diego rivera-esque murals.

Perhaps potential on-field success, stadium glam, and building neighbourhood footfall could butter Islington council's bread for an eventual expansion?

James DISGRACEFUL.

I mean, it's the wrong shade of red. How could they James, how could theyyyyyyyyyy?

Clrnc

James My favorite thus far.

RocktheCasbah Don’t even get me started on the font!!!

QuincyAbeyie

Has Bosscielny taken over both of your accounts or what's the deal? Is it so ludicrous that some people don't like what you do?

goon

Relax mate I don’t think that’s what’s going on here. Pretty sure RtC is just poking fun at James, who’s initial assessment at the reveal was it looks like someone’s GCSE artwork.

Had a feeling this one would look great when it actually goes up.

RocktheCasbah

goon it was more poking fun at the Arsenal fan's tendency to moan about absolutely fucking everything, but yeah, close enough. 😃

QuincyAbeyie

Got it.
Ironically, I like the ones I hated better than this one (which I initially had as one of my favorites).

DiabyKungFu

Still think it looks like shit, personally.

It doesn't look as bad compared to the mockups but still, not liking 'em at all. I think I hate the fake Highbury facade the most.

QuincyAbeyie

@goon so that's exactly what I thought then. 😂

RocktheCasbah

QuincyAbeyie well, I guess it depends how serious you thought I was being. For the record: not very.

goon

QuincyAbeyie

The way I see it either you and RtC are wrong or I am. Will leave it to you to decide what’s more likely.

James

We’re top of the league and have a superb manager, team, and stadium. Let’s enjoy it.

RocktheCasbah

James We’re top of the league and have a superb manager, team, and stadium. Let’s enjoy it.

Yes... Yes and furthermore... Yes.

QuincyAbeyie

James mate, it's not like some artwork ruins my day, but it's also not like how we're doing in the league affects what I think about some artwork. For me it's very clear that my opinion on how good it looks remains the same regardless of our position, because I don't see them as related whatsoever. Fair enough if it's different for you.

lorddulaarsenal

James it’s all dandy bar one thing

The beer could be sweeter

RocktheCasbah I heard that stat on a podcast recently but apparently it's because they counted Edu rather than Gilberto as a first XI player.

I am Arsenal Till I Die

The 1886 artwork would have been so much better if they had Victoria Concordia Crescit or even Victory Through Harmony instead of the Always Forward.

Had a chance to see the other two that are up and they look pretty nice in person. Can't wait for the Highbury one to go up!

RocktheCasbah

QuincyAbeyie and that's fine, the artwork is obviously not connected to how well the team is, or isn't doing. But as the person who made the jokey comment which seems to have caused some confusion, I think all James and I were getting at was...

Life is really good for Arsenal fans at the moment and yet there are people on this forum determined to carry on as if we are 15th in the league and, honestly, it's fucking exhausting to have to keep pointing out that our league season, guided by Edu and Arteta (AKA the men who just signed the dreaded Jorginho) is actually going better than anyone would have dreamed at the beginning of it. They deserve credit for what has already happened - and a little bit of trust for what's next.

So let's try and be positive, please. It won't hurt.
