Talk:List of Arsenal F.C. records and statistics

message: The Arsenal Chairman Peter Hill-Wood today said Arsenal is the first British team to beat Real Madrid in Bernabeu .  Can anyone verify this?  --Pkchan 13:58, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Everyone seems to be saying it, so there must be some truth in it.Slumgum 14:01, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  It appears that Hill-Wood's claim is valid.  That Arsenal is the first English club to do so is not in dispute (see Arsenal's own account here: ).  From this page  it appears that Real Madrid have lost to a Scottish team only twice: once in the 1982/83 CWC final, played in Göteborg; the other a 0:2 loss to Celtic in the Champions' Cup Quarterfinal 1979/80, which was played at Celtic's home .  I haven't bothered to check Real Madrid's head-to-head with Wales, Irish or Northern Irish teams for the obvious reason.  --Pkchan 14:43, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Longest unbeaten home sequence in the Premiership

message: 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).
:I had a quick look on the likes of RSSSF and PlanetWorldCup and couldn't find any stats for other World Cups, so for the moment I'll leave it be. I might research the topic further in due course, though. Qwghlm 14:02, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Most players selected for one World Cup finals??

message: 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)
replies: text: The former was designated a home match, while the other was at a neutral venue - I have made this a little clearer in the article text now. I am not sure what the highest attendance for a Cup Final match involving Arsenal is, to be honest (it could well be one of the ones in the 1930s) - that would take a bit of research. Qwghlm 08:45, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Right, according to  the attendances for the 1950, 1952, 1971, 1978, 1979 and 1980 Cup Finals were all 100,000, which tops the '69 League Cup Final figure, but as they're not precise I don't think they're very reliable. Qwghlm 09:58, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

text: Probably. With the lack of a precise figure I don't feel like putting such a record in, for fear of not meeting WP:V. Qwghlm 10:44, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Highest Attendance

message: 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)
replies: text: It's 423 according to http://jkarlsson.netfirms.com/players/m/merson_pc/, and both articles now reflect this. Qwghlm 11:29, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Be careful with some of these sites. http://jkarlsson.netfirms.com/seasons/1983-84/league/ shows that Arsenal beat Wolves 4-2 at home that season. The actual score was 4-1.--Goonerak (talk) 13:47, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merson stats 

message: 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
:Fair enough - according to  the lowest for a first-team competitive game was 56,761 against Blackburn. Any objections to me putting it in? Qwghlm 11:22, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

message: 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)
replies: text: My mistake - he scored those three goals in Europe not the Charity Shield. Now fixed. As for his goals, my copy of Arsenal Who's Who (-4) says he scored 93 League, 4 FA Cup and 3 Fairs Cup goals, which makes 100 in total, as does this page on Gunnermania, so the 101 figure is incorrect & has also been fixed. Thanks for spotting these! Qwghlm 14:53, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Joe Baker goals 

message: 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)
thread_title:  Thierry Henry's 229th goal 

message: 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?
Ganpati23 (talk) 23:02, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Wiki says Nasri was sold to Man City for £25m 

message: 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)
replies: text: Have amended this now, Henry made 86 apps in Europe, which brings his overall total to 377. Lemonade51 (talk) 15:31, 14 November 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: 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.
