Arsenal is renowned for its astronomical prices when it comes to the fan experience. Season ticket prices are consistently the highest in the Premier League, despite having come down in price this season. When it comes to the entertainment fans get for their money, the Gunners also don’t stack up too well with a cost per goal at home last season of £26. Nevertheless, they didn’t actually offer the worst value for money in this regard. That accolade goes to Southampton. The Saints only scored 17 goals at home, making a cost per goal of £31.82.

These figures are based on the BBC Price of Football 2017. Taking Arsenal as an example, the cost per goal was calculated by dividing the cost of the cheapest season ticket last season (£1,014) by the number of home goals scored (39).

Young (21) Harry Winks has had an amazing few months. Not only is he now starting more regularly for Spurs but he also made his England debut. Can it get better? After last night’s thumping of Real Madrid, Tottenham have everyone talking. Just how good are they? And is Winks part of the reason they are playing so well?

Ex-Spurs player Luka Modric split opinions among Spurs fans which begs another question; Is Winks better than Modric?

According to Oulalal it would seem he is:

“Winks has bettered Modric for pass completion (89.2% to 88.8%). On a per game basis, the 21-year-old has also made more interceptions (2 to 1), more blocks (0.5 to 0) more clearances (1 to 0.3) and more successful dribbles (2 to 1.3).”
