As Atletico Madrid and Tottenham Hotspur are finding out to their detriment, moving to a new stadium is a tough task, as home advantage tends to go out of the window. Arsenal felt the same when they moved to the Emirates, and it has taken a decade for the stadium to finally feel like home.

What makes it better? Tottenham absolutely *hate* coming to Arsenal's home ground. Spurs have only won 2 of the last 33 games away to the Gunners.

The Gunners ambitions for the season may depend on their home form, and they really have taken a big step in ensuring that their home ground is now a fortress. Things are looking up.
