I actually like the sound of 'The Emirates'. Just can't imagine Super Sundays with the Sky Sports commentator saying 'Now we go to Ashburton Grove'. Just a mouthful.
guys, problem with new highbury is that this stadium is supposed to last for several decades, so eventually it's going to sound weird to contiune calling it 'new'

Predicted? It was inevitable for about 4 seasons after we kept rebuffing them.
Wouldn't say 4 seasons, that's over exaggerating, I think it was after the WC in 2010 when they really wanted him and then bid £35m, which in hindsight, we should have accepted.
Random point: we signed Cesc to a 9 year deal in 2006. We should do the same with Jack if he performs well next season.
oh yeah, but maybe its because ''new york'' is only two syllables, thats why it sounds better, its almost like one word, ''newyork'', dunno maybe if people use ''new highbury'' often enough it'll just roll off the tougue like many of the ''new'' places in america
I always found it weird why he wasn't given the captaincy, back then he was the most senior player in number of years spent at the club and also he was the only one left from the invincibles era. Perhaps maybe he just didn't want it.

It's worked for Barcelona and the Camp Nou (translating in Catalan as New Field)
