The Arsenal Chairman Peter Hill-Wood today said Arsenal is the first British team to beat Real Madrid in Bernabeu [1]. Can anyone verify this? -- Pkchan 13:58, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
I'm thinking of renaming this page to Arsenal F.C. records, as on reflection it's a more suitable name. Any objections? Qwghlm 08:40, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
I found a couple of inconsistencies when I verify the page against the official website's record page:
Anyone has a better source than the official website's record page to clarify the above? -- Pkchan 12:52, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
...is not a national record. Chelsea have been unbeaten at home in the Premiership since 21st February 2004, when they lost to Arsenal, which is 45 matches. This can easily be verified at Soccerbase SteveO 18:11, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
To be fair I think it was the record until Chelsea beat it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shakehandsman ( talk • contribs) 01:43, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
The official FIFA site credits Arsenal as being the most strongly represented club at the 2006 Finals (with 15 - see fifaworldcup.yahoo.com/06/en/w/stats/top10.html.) A look down the list of representation at previous finals failed to identify any club who had sent more than this to any previous Finals... but would need verification from elsewhere. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.156.12.13 ( talk • contribs) 03:30, January 9, 2007.
Squads for other World Cups (with club affiliations) are listed by Wikipedia, on pages which can be accessed through the relevant tournament main pages... it does take some work to go through it all though.
After further checking, the Seoul Army Club had 16 players at the 1954 World Cup Finals... but only 14 of them played in either of South Korea's two matches, so it seems likely that Arsenal (with Walcott being the only player not to make an appearance) and Seoul Army Club — ahead of Chelsea (whose 2006 fourteen included the non-playing Wayne Bridge) — share the record for the most players actually playing in a Finals tournament. (Unless I've overlooked some other club with representation in multiple national squads: Real Madrid? Barcelona? Milan? Juve? Inter?)
The total minutes and number of matches played by Arsenal's 14 (which did not count Tomas Rosicky, who had been announced as an Arsenal player before the tournament started) far exceed the Army Club's totals... but almost certainly fall short of Chelsea's (which did not include Ballack or Shevchenko who were announced as Chelsea signings during the tournament - or Maniche, who had been on loan from Dynamo Moscow until the end of the English season.)
There seems to be a discrepancy between the Wembley attendance record Arsenal F.C. records#Attendances of 73,707 and the Football League Cup Final 1969 attendance of 98,189 as reported on RSSSF, Soccerbase and football-england.com. Might be worth looking at, there may have even been a higher attendance in the older days of Wembley finals. Foxhill 03:05, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
I see it is the same figure on [6] so why should the link that you have mentioned be classed as unreliable? Do you think it may of had something to do with 100,000 being a maximum crowd for Wembley at that time? RBEVAN 20:06, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
I am aware that along with winning two titles at White Hart Lane and another two at Old Trafford, Arsenal won consecutive titles at Stamford bridge against Chelsea in 1934 and 1935.
Hi. I was wondering how many games Merson played for Arsenal. You mention 423 games in "top scorers" and 425 in "most appearances". If you add the numbers in "most apperances", it seems that 425 is simply miscalculated (should be 423 as well). On the other hand, 425 is mentioned in the Paul Merson article itself and . Can anybody help me? Kind regards -- Vince2004 14:58, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
Not sure friednly matches should count here? Friendlies aren't mentioned in any other records - why should this be an exception? Surely best keep records to competitive games only —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shakehandsman ( talk • contribs) 01:42, November 3, 2007
Can anybody explain why Joe Baker is listed as scoring 3 'C Shield' goals when the club didn't qualify for the Charity Shield during his years with the club? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.158.56.51 ( talk) 02:33, 2 December 2007 (UTC) (Presumably, European goals??) Incidentally, he's listed as having scored 101 goals for the club on his page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.158.56.51 ( talk) 02:40, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
according to what I read here, http://www.espn.co.uk/football/sport/story/150395.html, the goal he scored against Blackburn is ruled to rather be an own goal by Scott Dann. So stupid but I suggest that we take Henry's goal tally from 229 to 228 and his league goals tally from 176 to 175. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.13.158.56 ( talk) 23:41, 12 May 2012 (UTC)
Yet he's not on the transfers received list, even though RVP is for £22.5m.
So even including the £1.5m add-on for RVP winning the EPL, that's still less than wiki says on Nasri's page.
So there's a discrepancy. Which page is correct? How much was Nasri sold for?

It is twice stated that Thierry Henry made 86 European appearances, while the Top goalscorers table lists him with 85. Mattythewhite ( talk) 00:59, 14 November 2015 (UTC)

The honours section is clogged with so many irrelevant trophies. When the article was promoted to the FL status, only the official competitive honours were listed, and not like it is now. In the last 10+ years, every friendly pre-season match is marked as some kind of "cup", that doesn't mean it needs to be listed here. Florida Cup, FAW Toyota Cup, Audi Football Summit Shanghai, New York Cup, Saitama City Cup, Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust Challenge Cup, Malaysia Cup, Markus Liebherr Memorial Cup, Herbert Chapman Memorial Trophy etc. etc., none of those have articles, none of those one-off matches a.k.a "cups" have any relevance, this needs to be heavily trimmed.
