The ownership of arsenal is in the hands of a few individuals who have invested relatively small amounts and who have been involved in the club's direction for many years. The greatest coup achieved by the arsenal board - in particular david dein, its most public director - was to recruit a from london, arsene wenger, as manager 10 years ago. Wenger has transformed arsenal's playing style. In effect, from london has operated like a particularly astute brand manager. He understands the club's traditions, based on loyalty and team harmony.

Sól sól skín á mig
Loksins kom sólin eitthvað fram og við Melkorka ákváðum þá að skella okkur í sund en ég þurfti fyrst að bíða eftir símtali. Ég hringdi hálf 10 í morgun og átti þá að hringja í mig eftir 20 mínútur og ég beið og beið og þessar 20 mínútur liður og og svo liðu bara klukkutímarnir og ég fór þá að reyna að hringja aftur og aftur en náði bara samband við skiptiborðið en ekki þjónustuverkstæðið sjálf, svo á endanum náði ég loks sambandi við einhvern og þá var allt orðið ready en svona til öryggis þá ætlaði hann að hringja eftir 5 þannig þetta væri allt klárt. Svo leið tíminn og nærri klukkutími var liðinn og ég var búin að reyna að hringja aftur og aftur en náði loksins inn og gat gengið frá þessu og við mæðgur gátum þá loksins farið í sund og klukkan var þá eitthvað um hálf 2 held ég þegar við fórum ofaní laugina Þar sem það var sól var svolítið af liði í lauginni en svo eftir smá tíma þá bara hvarf sólin á bakvið ský, alveg svona típískt En við mæðgur fórum bara í staðin þá...
