At times, it’s good to lighten up a little, take our mind off government policies, impending fuel price hikes and overpriced cars, that’s why we’re sharing this with you. Citroën has been the “official car” for Arsenal Football Club since 2008, and the French car company recently placed new luxury pitch-side seats at the North London club’s Emirates Stadium.
I always wondered why footballers would want to watch their teammates in tight Recaros, but these red Citroën seats with the Arsenal crest actually look really plush – I wouldn’t mind them in my living room (by now you must have guessed which team I support). Designed by Loughborough UK based Auto-kit International, the 40 seats are wrapped with top-quality leather. Gunners boss Arsène Wenger said: “We are delighted with the new Citroën dugout seats, which are a real improvement and very much in keeping with the overall stadium design.”
Seen here are Thomas Vermaelen, Manuel Almunia, Craig Eastmond and Eduardo. Perhaps they should spend less time on PSPs and train harder for this Sunday’s must-win match against Chelsea! A closer look at the new chairs after the jump.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
hope after the players sit on new seat, it will inspire the gunners to bring back the trophy to emirates.go gunners!!!
no way im gonna buy citroen now :P
they really do look comfy, well, come on you gunners, rise to the occasion!
Cool! Man United has Audi, so why not for Arsenal to get Citroen? You can see how the French generous only to each other. Thanks to Arsene Wenger's connections.
I prefer the "audi" seats (by now you must have guessed which team I support)…hehe…oh yeah and pls do win this sunday! =D

Dear PAUL,
In case you do not know, The Emirates and SONY of Europe is giving PSPs owners a very unique feature when you are in the Emirates watching the game. Using the PSP, one could access a special network that allows you to view replay, stats, etc during the match. A very cool idea indeed. SONY plans to bring the feature to other stadiums in due time, but Arsenal will be the first.
This was just recently announced !
there you go

well i hope for a draw (by now you must have guessed which team I support)
huhu!
last week, Audi won over Citroen 3-1 at Highbury showdown.
Perhaps Chelski can added Fiat or Alfo Romeo (coz Carlo Anchelotti is Italian)
Not forgetting Proton to add bucket seat to Norwich City.
show off………
Ceh ceh Citroen old school only for Arsenal, Manutd get Audi Recaro stylo… Nvm la Arsenal trophieless again this season, let them have their luxury 'plush' leather seats!

Wonder what kind of seat Liverpool going to have in order to turn their bad luck this season..huhh..huhhh
they're playing Winning Eleven on PSP =D
audi or citroen seats, it's still not flame-reatardant. So, we shouldn't implement it in stadiums in Malaysia, for fear of a certain states' err..diehard supporters.
what so good about recaro? bride and sparco better
old school? so what la u jz gonna use that seat on bench for watchin football ..jealous ar~
