Ridiculous amount of background

Latest comment: 14 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

There's a ridiculous amount of background information in this article and little coverage of the actual season itself and the football played. Quite strange.--Shakehandsman (talk) 05:00, 5 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

Background

Did Arsene Wenger said it before the 2003-04 or before the 2002-03 season?
- Clarified.
What type of concerns were raised?
Robin van Persie is a winger?
- Yes, Van Persie was originally a winger. Wenger signed him with the intention of turning the player into a forward.
Numbers for the players in the table.
- Certain players weren't given a squad number at the time.

Removed sentence. Lemonade51 (talk) 20:12, 6 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

Pre season

"series of friendlies across western europe" - Peterborough is in Western Europe?
- Yes, Peterborough is in the United Kingdom, which is in Western Europe.
Stuart Taylor came in for which goalkeeper?
- It was a friendly match, so he didn't replace anyone.

FA Community Shield

No match template for it?
- No, per Talk:1998–99_Manchester_United_F.C._season#Charity_shield_table. Pointless there being just one match template, when there's a link to the main article.
Its a new section, so who is Lehmann is not clear.
- Lehmann was mentioned as a signing for Arsenal in the background section.
Henry - Thierry Henry
- Henry's name is already wikilinked under 'Background'.
Again, I am lost. Who is Jeffers?
- Francis Jeffers. Like Henry his name is already wikilinked and I've made it clear he was a striker for Arsenal. Lemonade51 (talk) 17:36, 30 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

January-February

"At home to Manchester City" - It should be better if "In a home match against Manchester City"

Changed

FA Cup

Leeds United belong to which league?

Premier League, added.

Highbury is not linked.

Highbury is already linked under the Premier League section. Lemonade51 (talk) 15:22, 4 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

RRD13 (talk) 15:03, 4 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

Rest

Quarter finals- Dein is the vice chairman of the club, it should be mentioned.

Added

Source for the player statistics?

Underneath the table. Lemonade51 (talk) 16:04, 9 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

Math

The article shows 10 UCL games, confirms 10 fixtures in its section, but Toure and Lehmann show 11 appearences? If arsenal only played 10 games, how can 2 players make 11 appearences? (6 group games, 4 knockout games 6+4=10)
