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.
Yeh I agree. I managed to get in my usual seat this match. Though I noticed the atmosphere was great and all standing in most of the lower tier blocks in the north bank.
Was loud from start to finish, proper drunk too. We were drinking all through the game!
just watched the game back tonight after being there on Tuesday night and the atmosphere came across well. Varied songs, Fuck off to Stratford, Samir Nasri, etc, etc
Was dissapointed with the 9,000 tractor boys as I only really heard "swing low" and them booing Fabregas !
I think they came more in hope than expectation and were fully anticipating defeat, I was very happy we obliged.
We were in block 7 and thought atmosphere was ok, but not great.....guys behind us were legless and pushing their luck with the stewards. Didn't see them again after half time.....
Best for me still has to have been the Champions League game v United.....for the few mins until Gibbs slipped and they scored !

Ah what a great few minutes that was The only other time I can remember the grove actually sounding intimidating was when we played the chavs and it was to be cashley's first return. RedAction had handed out loads of whistles for us to blow each time he touched the ball, unfortunately he bottled it and feigned injury just before the match, so instead we blew each time maureen stood up. The noise was quite deafening
