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.
Cities of similar size in Britain (Glasgow, Birmingham, Manchester?) don't come close! only my opinion though.
I agree that Italy has some far nicer places though.. Southern Italy is great, the Italian Alps are spectacular, and Rome has more history than you can shake a stick at (expensive though )
It's just a great country.. and then there's the Italian food and wine! [/quote]
Totally agree. Been to Rome many times on business. My favourite city.
My first time in Milan was this Summer, on the way to Lake Como. I have never seen so many beautiful women in one place, in such a short time. Sod the rest of the scenery. Those women were fanbloodytastic.
Italian people, in general, are exceptionally nice. The youngsters are a breath of fresh air. No hoodies. No bad gangsta attitude. I wouldn't mind living there.
I've the flights booked and am going to book the hotel now. Never been to Rome before so I have no idea where to stay, anyone know of a good hotel or what area of Rome I should book the hotel?
I think the OB in Milan only seemed to be checking passports if they were offered.... And I don't remember seeing anyone being turned away from the turnstiles.
I recall as well that a lot of away game regulars dipped out of Milan for a variety of reasons - not least that they'd been to the San Siro not that many years back. I think for that reason Roma might be a more popular trip so there might not be quite as many tickets going around. On the other hand, Rome does have a bit more of a reputation that Milan so that might put some off.
I can't go (although we'll be back in May anyway !) but having been to Rome many times, I have to say that it's my fav city from a tourist viewpoint. You really could spend a week there and not see everything, so be sure to book at least a night in the city and have a great trip!!

Milan is a nice city.

Milan is absolutely shit. Its okay if your with your lady, but apart from that its fucking boring.

Seconded. Very glad I've got the chance to learn the lingo.
I'll be trying like crazy to get a lower tier ticket for this one!
