Arsenal visit today as well

I was going to go on a tour of Emirates stadium today but surprise-surprise: they don't have tours the day of a match. Yes they had a gigantic champions league match against Bayern Munich there so no tour. I will go back in the next few days as it is not too much of a trip.



It is a huge place, rivaling Gillette stadium. I will see the inside the next few days


I did however get in a tour of the Arsenal Museum. Pretty cool for a club that is from late 1800s. By the way, so many things are really, really old around here and traditional. The museum was interesting and allows me to see why the fans are such fanatics: lots of winning cups and success in Barclays. Not long ago, they went a complete season without losing a match and part of another one-I think they went 49 matches without losing.

Here is a the actual cup they won (Barclays)

By the way, I did try to snag a ticket 5 hours before the game tonight. Scalpers looking for 500 pound (which is more in US dollars. I passed!
