Emirates Makes Me Sick

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.

It doesn't anger me that people spend so much time faffing around taking pictures... it puzzles me. I'm usually too focused on the game to give even a second thought to taking pictures. I honestly don't understand it, there is no significant event you cant find pictures of from google/media sources. If you want some commemoration of your attendance collect the match programmes or if you have a paper ticket, keep that. And if you want pictures of yourself/family at the Grove organise a stadium tour.

This might just be me, but I pay my 40 quid to watch a game of football.

Chanting is a completely personal thing. I enjoy singing, even if its just the usual songs backing the team..

but whatever, we're all gooners here :barscarf:

my mate took the piss out of my old man's view from the lower corner, which was rich coming from a palace season ticket holder

Someone who dont give a fuck about the club, come to the game so they can tell there friends they have been to an arsnal match, spend all there time taking photo's to prove this and show off to there friends. Usually turn up late and go home early and dont actually care weather we win or lose aslong as they see lots of goals.
If you gave a fuck about the club mate you'd realise we need all the support we can get. One of the reasons United have such an advantage is because they have so many fans worldwide, and hence more money to spend.

I agree the atmosphere at the Emirates is awful but I think there are much more constructive ways of changing this than getting rid of "the foreigners". There's a guy who sits in front of me who looked at me and a guy next to me at the Olympiakos game, neither of us being of European descent and clearly wearing Arsenal colours, and said to his mate "fucking hell they're allowed to sit up here too" (I sit in Block 115 almost above the away fans and next to the away fans who sit in the "Partner seating" at CL games). It's ignorant racist c**ts like that who make me embarrassed to support Arsenal. Not the foreigners who worship the club and are ecstatic to be able to have the chance to get to a game. Do you live in a little village in the middle of nowhere where it's all white English? Probably the best place to stay and maybe I'd suggest supporting your local team.
