Atmosphere anyone?

During that first 45 minutes yesterday did anyone else feel that it wasn't the derby game?
The noise from inside the ground seemed to be of the visit of Wigan or some other two bob outfit ( and yes i suppose you still include the spuds in that statement!!!) to the Emirates.
What was the reason? Early kick off? Football tourists? Are we as fans getting complacent? Who knows or is it me being way too paranoid?

AFC
C'mon

I agree with you, first 45mins was quite embarrassing

I think it was nerves, nobody wanted to lose to the scum and combined with a shit performance and 4-5-1, people just couldn't relax enough to sing with any conviction.

The first 45 minutes in general just didn't seem like a derby game to me.

the atmosphere was quite good by us in the south stand. but have to agree it didn't feel like the derby i've previously experienced, especially the first half.

been told i have to sample the derby at shite heart lane

Those lunch time kos never seem to have a good atmosphere and the dreary first half did'nt help. It got better as the game went on tho. Can I just say a big thank you to keane for the crossbar miss and penalty fuck up, he really made my xmas, I can sit back, relax and enjoy it now

As 152 say's we were trying in our stand but I think it was one of them "the team must lift us" no "we should lift the team" it took the goal for everyone to start singing. But after they scored myself and a handfull of people got up and started to sing but 99% of our fans just sat and looked at floor.

Early kick off never helps.

First 45 minutes were difficult as we didn't want to lose to the Spuds.

There were quite a few disgruntled Gooners around me!!

It was weird in the first half. It was if the team and supporters had been drugged

It really picked up in the second half. Personally I sang my heart out in both halves but I felt much more up for the Chav and manure games. These wankers aren't important any more. Now going to post on the other thread
