...determined by a one's position... reads awkward. Also, try to avoid using "one" but instead use "a team's" or similar.
... from between September 2005... reads awkward.
Could you link the years in the lead to the corresponding tournament season articles.
This article has "European Clubs' Champions Cup", while the article is in fact located at "European Champion Clubs' Cup". Are both correct (both used commonly in reliable sources) or is only the latter correct?
So how were teams selected for the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup?
"In the 2001–02 season, Arsenal featured in the Champions League" reads awkward
Any reason the 2004–05 coverage is reduced to a single sentence?

They did nothing much in the group stages to merit writing more – won their first and last group stage games and drew all the rest. When I get the time to work on 2004–05 Arsenal F.C. season, it should be in more depth.

One issue I contemplated a bit about while reviewing was the vast difference in length between various seasons. While having increased focus on years with good results is natural, I would like to see a minimum for each season. In this case I seem to recall that Arsenal only advanced by a single point in the group stage, i.e. a rather poor season. Could you at least include the teams they played to add some fill.

Perhaps I'm overreacting a bit, as many seasons are short, but it was sandwiched by two "long" seasons. Do as you wish in this instance. Arsenikk ^(talk) 22:39, 17 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have done a slight copy-edit. Not much really, but there is a systematical misuse of commas which in places make reading a bit confusing.
Image licenses check out good.
Ref 103 (the head-to-head table) how is it referenced? I have tried to get up some sort of table and I don't seem to be able to get out any results by country, only by team.

Unfortunately eurocupshistory has been blacklisted due to spam; by citing Statto this is the only way to get around the problem. Have double checked records against teams from a certain country and it's accurate.

Okay, then it will be sufficient. Arsenikk ^(talk) 22:35, 17 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Placing on hold. Arsenikk ^(talk) 21:16, 16 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oddly I forgot to mention that I added some citation needed tags to a few places that seem to be unreferenced. Arsenikk ^(talk) 22:04, 16 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Have addressed all comments, unless commented above. Thank you for taking the time to review. Lemonade51 (talk) 22:53, 16 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I will pass the article. If you are planning on bringing on to FA I feel there is a slight imbalance in the coverage of amount of prose per seasons, although it is sufficient for GA. Nice work! Arsenikk ^(talk) 22:39, 17 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
