As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

Spurs' share of the English TV Champions League market pool would be c.£14m if they made it through to the group stages. If they don't get through then that money is split between Chelsea, Arsenal and ourselves. 50% of the market pool (so £7m of Spurs' revenue) is shared on the basis of where you've finished in the previous league season. 40% to the winner (Chelsea), 30% to the runners-up (United) and 15% each to the clubs who finished in third (Arsenal) and fourth place (Tottenham). Take out Tottenham's 15% share and your looking at an extra £3.15m going to Chelsea, £2.45m going to us and £1.4m going to Arsenal. The other c.£7m of the money which Spurs would receive for getting through to the group stages is allocated based on how far you progress in the competition. You divide the total number of games played by English clubs in the Champions League by the number of games that each club has played. There never tends to be much difference though unless one club reaches the final and another doesn't make it through to the last 16, so let's just split the £7m evenly between Chelsea, United and Arsenal.
So if Spurs go out, Chelsea will be looking at an extra £5.5m, United £4.75m and Arsenal £3.75m.
