As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

Who was the twat stadium anouncer that didnt know some of the players names from the hull line up.. odviously not a football man..
Obviously. ANY football man worth his salt should be able to rattle off the entire Hull starting XI in one breath, whilst downing a pint of lager and munching on a bag of pork scratchings... in fact, I here that's Franks party piece!
Whilst your's would be a vat of mulled wine, followed by a good munching on a pork sword

But set against this is the fact that the Club clearly cannot sell out for all bar a handful of games each season - forget what they say to the contrary.So they need the income from whatever source passes by. If there were 60,008 people there or even that number of tickets sold then I'm Donald Duck's Grandmother. So it's all about pretence and kiddology. Although who is kidding who, is a moot point.
But this is the Prem' for you. By all accounts Old Trafford is far worse. They actually introduce Mr & Mrs 'so-and-so' from Hong Kong and give them a puff, at the half time break.
Really? In that case I'll be off to Old Trafford for my football and the free 'gear' from now on!

Someone who dont give a fuck about the club, come to the game so they can tell there friends they have been to an arsnal match, spend all there time taking photo's to prove this and show off to there friends. Usually turn up late and go home early and dont actually care weather we win or lose aslong as they see lots of goals.
Do we need another thread on this. The atmosphere is no better than average but no worse than Old Trafford, Stamford Bridge, Villa Park and (most of the time) Anfield.
