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.
The slanging match between the two is about to re-commence. Fergusmoan will be taking little shots at us at every opportunity between now and May. His face will get redder as each week passes.
Interesting to learn what Fergie said after West Ham idiots chanted 'It's like a funeral' - in extremely poor taste at the present moment. However, I had a chance to sit at Club Level yesterday for the first time and it's not exactly noisy...
Our crowd always gets loads of stick, yet I hardley ever hear the Old Trafford crowd being slagged off besides the odd prawn sandwich remark, yet both Rudolph and keane have had a go at their support in the last 8 years.
But no doubt, come Febuary i'll be listening to Alan Green on talkshite banging on about the Arsenal Library.
THE ATMOSPHERE WAS REALLY, REALLY POOR YESTERDAY AT ASHBURTON. CERTAINLY THE QUIETEST SO FAR THIS SEASON.
YET I NOTICED WATCHING OTHER MATCHES ON TV THAT EVEN NORMALLY ATMOSPHERIC GROUNDS LIKE VILLA PARK WERE ALSO DOWN ON THE NOISE LEVEL, AND OF COURSE FERGIE WAS MOANING ABOUT THE SAME THING AT OLD TRAFFORD.
NOW I KNOW THERE ARE A LIST OF REASONS WHY GROUNDS AREN'T AS NOISEY AS DAYS GONE BY, BUT I WONDER WHETHER - YESTERDAY IN PARTICULAR - IT HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE FACT IT WAS NEW YEARS DAY AND MANY FANS WERE STILL SUFFERING FROM THE PREVIOUS NIGHT'S CELEBRATIONS?
I definitely believe that Ferguscum went over the mark with those comments after the game. How dare he pass the remark about the fans being quiet, after all it is up to the team to give the fans something to shout about.
Finding the money to go to games can be hard enough if you are travelling from overseas without that red nosed crunt having a pop at you
The 2 guys next to me spent most of the 2nd half talking about their childminding arrangements and work. I know it wasn't the most scintillating 45 minutes but this sort of ongoing dialogue completely unrelated to the game makes me vomit. Pity we can't text "SEAT X: ON MY RIGHT - UNINTERESTED IN GAME - EVICT, THROTTLE OR AT LEAST GAG - PLEASE!!!" to that 'Steward Line'.
