An offiial club statement read:-

"We recognise that many people over the years have contributed to the Arsenal that you see before you today, least of all our supporters. We have chosen to display these busts in the directors entrance so we can remind ourselves how magnificent we all are and how we richly deserve the big cigars and brandy we enjoy after each game. It was originally suggested that these were displayed somewhere where our fans could also enjoy them but after much discussion we decided "fuck 'em", it's our jolly club, not theirs."

I think one for Bruce Rioch should be made. He needs a bit of cheering up recently!
