Arsenal football is doing rather well. Turnover at the club for financial year ending May 31 2007 was up to £200.8million.

The club rakes in £3.1m per game.

This is great news, not least of all for the club’s fans who pay £94 per ticket for the top seats, and £46 for the cheapest. You see how happy you make your club’s owners. Well done you.

The club made an operating profit of £51.2m.

The players’ wages amount to £89.7million. A lot. Of course. But when you see that Ashley Cole cost Chelsea £14million and Arsenal secured William Gallas on a free in exchange, the numbers stack up.

The club knows how to make money.

Arsenal fans are being offered the chance to invest in the Opus. It’s taken over two years to produce and contains more than 400,000 words and 2,000 photographs. It is 850 pages long

The tome weighs 37kg (postage and packing may be included).

The must-have item is handbound in leather and delivered in a silk-clad clamshell box (it says here).

Its costs £3,000.

And as with all things football, there is the exclusive and there is the one better.

For those of you who don’t want one of the 1,500 Opus edition ordinaire, there is the Icons. Retailing at £4,250. This features signatures of various Arsenal players.
