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.
In recent years ive noticed how some clubs' fans boo the opposition team everytime they touch the ball and start passing it around to put more pressure on them and make them lose their concentration. Barca did it to us, they did it to Inter everytime their players got the ball. Utd did it to us in the Semi too.
If we can collectively do this everytime barca gets the ball then not only are we contributing to the atmosphere but intimidating their players aswell. It might not end up working but it's better than keeping quiet and sitting back while they pass the ball around our players.
An excellent idea! i think we did this in the game against Victim FC a couple of seasons ago, when Cnutybayor got sent off in the first half. That's about the most intimidating i can ever remember the atmosphere being at the Emirates

I'd go along with this- get on the back of every single one of them, pelt them with anything you can get your hands on (sorry if that idea offends the sanitised brigade like), make the fuckers scared to come anywhere near the touchline lest they get smacked in the face, shout and scream abuse at their every touch, pressure the ref for every decision, basically just get right behind your lot and do anything in your power to put off the opposition. Being the underdog requires a totally different fan mentality to being expected to win and the fans need to do anything they can to tip the balance towards their team. Good luck lads (but if it all goes wrong and you end up 3 down after the first leg and you dont fancy travelling to Barcelona for the second leg, I'll take two tickets off yer )
that should be sent to every arsenal supporter going to the game!!
I would even boo the bloody coach driver bringing this lot to the ground. They all get my blood boiling as they work the ref all night!!
Tossers the lot of em............
