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.

It probably won't leave my bag during the game to be honest as I'm in the middle of the upper tier on my tod as the rest of the guys are sitting elsewhere.
if its staying in your bag why are you bringing it?
tbh the stewards never have more than a cursory glance in my bag, and they're only looking for bottles really.
Did you read the post? What do you expect me to hang it off?
To further explain, I may not have time to check into the hotel before the game therefore I will have my bag with me.
And before you ask I'm bringing the flag to either
As for the match, I honestly think it could be any of the three outcomes. If I were given a free £5,000 bet, I'd stake it on us to win - but I wouldn't be that surprised at a draw or an away victory either. As is often the case, the first goal is crucial in this one.
I'd like to think we can edge it 2-1, but my head says 1-1. With Van Der Vaart and Bale now firing on all cylinders, I can't see us winning 3-0. But then that scoreline last year wasn't necessarily reflective of the gameplay anyhow, so you never know.
All I ask is that we don't concede one, or two, goals in the last minute.
