In block 24 last night, I reckon I was about the only person without a paper ticket. It was almost full of freeloaders (at their first game), corporates and tourists. As Messi lined up a freekick against us, some wanker in front of me started trying to line up the perfect action shot (of Arsenal going out), so I shoved him just as he pressed the shutter. Cunt. When Arsenal scored their second (and everyone was going fucking mental) this dickhead stood there and gave an embarrassingly tame applause, then left.

Arsenal said block 134 (I think) had been given to UEFA as part of their contractual obligations - wtf happened in 24? :?

Block 26 was rocking. Not a tourist in sight and we stood and sang the whole game, (apart from a few moments of mourning after their goals :D ) :barscarf: :barscarf:

Did i hear right that the attendance was 59,000? If so, that is shameful given the hassle it was to get tickets. Upper tier was decent for the upper tier but no singing apart from the Henry song.

Plenty of noise downstairs (although it was small groups singing different songs rather than the whole crowd together). The attendance was 59,500ish which I assume is because of the big empty patch in Block 20 (Barca section)
