NOSIEST FANS AT THE GROVE

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.

sunderland this season mad a bit of noise...

but its also worth pointing out that away fans are almost always noisier than the home fans, and that applies to just about any team, not just us.

that is why i love away games. for me coming to the grove is expensive and needs lots of pre-planning, whereas the away games can be spontanious and miles cheaper. atmosphere is great and we win because we're arsenal. :D

Agree. Slavia Prague were pretty good this season, even at 7-0 down.

Yeah Slavia were good considering the score line, all there songs/ chants were done in a organised fashion with everyone joining in. Shows us the right way...

guess it depends where you sit and what you hear i suppose but the nosiest i remember from the games ive been to was man u,,

didnt hear much from the famous toon army ysterday :roll:
They were surprisingly quiet yesterday were'nt they, both inside and outsdie the ground. I don't think I've ever seen geordie fans so docile. I thought they'd be going mental now they've got "king Kev" back. I think the noisiet away fans I can think of at the new ground were from that eastern european team who's name escapes me at the moment :? It was last season anyway, I can remember that much :roll:

:shock: :shock: :?
MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE I HAVE A SEAT NEAR THE AWAY FANS BUT I THOUGHT THE NEWCASTLE FANS WERE SUPERB YESTERDAY. THEY TOTALLY OUT-SUNG THE ARSENAL FANS FROM THE FIRST MINUTE UNTIL WE WRAPPED THE MATCH UP WITH THE SECOND GOAL. INDEED, AFTER THAT GOAL I THOUGHT IT WAS IRONIC THAT THE GOONERS WERE SINGING "WE FORGOT THAT YOU WERE HERE!" TO THE NEWCASTLE SUPPORTERS AS IT WAS THE OTHER WAY AROUND FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE MATCH!! :oops: :roll:

I THOUGHT ASTON VILLA FANS WERE REALLY LOUD LAST SEASON AND MAN UNITED ALWAYS MAKE GOOD NOISE AWAY FROM HOME. :lol: :wink:
How can we possibly listen to the opinion of a fan who has confessed to taking so many drugs that he is unaware of the voices in his own head, let alone those of opposing fans 8) 8) Image

Funny how we can get a totally different perspective while in the same ground. I'm in block 13, north east corner of the ground and apart from a few times I really did'nt hear them. After Ade scored the first they seemed to totally shut up, unusual for geordies I admit but it was'nt just that. They just did'nt seem as up for it as you expect them to be, there were a few in the Pins before the game but no real noise from them and the same after. In previous years they've been there in bigger numbers and making a lot more noise. I just got the impression that the prawn sandwich eating brigade had finally made inroads into their support too :lol: :lol:

Not at the Emirates, but the best away fans I've seen were the Japanese fans of Urawa Reds when they played Sydney.

Absolute fanatics. Massive flags, jumping and clapping in unison, singing and screaming. The 400 (at most!) of them made enough noise to drown out the entire Sydney crowd for large parts of the match. (I was down towards their end of the ground though so maybe that affects it...)

3 days late on this thread, but it did catch my eye so...

I know we are supposed to talking about the Grove, and Wembley was very much a stop gap but does anyone remember the Champions League match there against Panathanaikos?

What a bowel inducing noise that lot made. We won 2-1 but when they scored...fuck me now I know what the mayor of Hiroshima went through.

Man Utd are always loud - singing about how they hate big southern jessies and that they're "oop fur eet". Strange type of cockney accent if you ask me. I wonder if, on arriving home back in darkest Reigate, they still speak like that and tell their kids that they are the "pride of all Europe and the COCK of the north", before beating the wife and downing 8 pints of Boddingtons.

Good old northern culture. No wonder they're loud - too busy trying to talk even bigger bollocks over each other.
