Watching the North London Derby pirate stylee in Finsbury Pk

Post by Cus Geezer »

Fucking hell!!!!

Sitting here in an internet cafe at Blackstock Road.

I tell you I wouldn't have swapped a match ticket for that experience!

How many there? about 2000 surely.

Fucking mental!!!!

Note to Tony Saunders - just because they're hugging in the centre circle doesn't mean that all sweet as a nut?

I'd answer the question, but it makes no sense.

That's because I was drunk and overjoyed at the time. Basically are you not convinced of the team spirit after that performance.

And I should also clarify that it wasn't the internet cafe where I saw the game but a certain pub on Seven Sisters Road. I doubt the atmosphere at Shite Fart Lane bettered it, I'd be surprised if that pub hasn't got structural damage after that, it was like three new years eves in one afternoon. We even had crowd surfers.

Surely must have been a few other online gooners in there too?

I live out in Hertfordshire/Beds and there's a pub/bar/club whatever you want to call it in Hitchin. I dont know how the guy does it but he had Liverpool on one screen and Manure on the other screen. I went over there about 1pm and there were loads of gooners already in there plus a scattering of Manure and Mikey Mouser supporters - great atmosphere building up. All the gooners like myself have the shirts on in all different forms, away shirts 3rd kit shirts home shirts and polo shirts. I looked around and only see two spuds shirts if you can call them that as they were like rugby shirts in silly pink and blue colours and the spurs badge is so small and naff you wouldnt recognise it as a shirt. I have come to the conclusion that spud supporters are embarrassed to wear their shirt cos they are absolutely fucking shit. I can recognise them straight away cos they all look like Martin Johl - fat, fucking ugly, bald heads and wear pink shirts or polo shirts. Anyway was really great cos they just switched the Manure game over to the Arsenal game when it started and all the mancs in the pub just sat there gobsmacked! Brilliant. Watching the game with some great banter going on then the *word censored* scored and all these fat fuckers started giving it the yidel yidel bit. I just knew the way we were playing that we werent going to lose, maybe a draw or we would do them.

Sitting outside at half time having me fag, you could tell the closet spuds as they were giving it the big one. Second half and we were all over them then we get the first back the fucking pub went ballastic and all the gooners were going who are yer. Ces crashes in the second and the pub erupts, and the fat fuckers start whinging how fucking lucky we are! Yer, lucky we havent stuck 10 past you. Then Abe gets the 3rd, they must have heard the noise down in the town centre. Oh the fat fuckers have gone! Ah well Spuds in a crisis? No its just a normal season for them cos they are fucking crap! 3-1 to the Arse, nice sunny day, few beers, what a lovely weekend! :D

I watched it in the 12 Pins, absolutely fuckin brilliant. Got there about 12.30 and there were loads of gooners who were going down to the game singing outside. Inside the place was already packed and by the time the game started you could hardly move. Great atmosphere, temporarliy brought to a halt by the spuds goal but you could see from the way we were playing that it was far from over. When we equalised the whole place erupted, I got about 15 pints slung over me, lost my drink, got a whack on the nose resulting in a minor nose bleed and nearly lost my watch but it was all worth it :wink: If that was mental, the celebrations for the next two goals were even better. I was soaked from head to foot in beer, the whole pub was jumping up and down, it was like we'd just won the league and felt like it :D When it finished everyone emptied out onto the street and the old game of kicking the ball accross the Seven Sisters Rd started, it was like a fuckin carnival :wink: After that a few kids started lobbing cans and beers at passing buses for some reason and we could see what was going to happen. Sure enough a while later about eight police vans showed up and out got the old bill in full riot gear. They shut the pub down so we made a tactical retreat round the corner to The Gaslight to continue the celebrations :wink: Had a few more on the way home, rather a long session from 12.30 til 9.30ish and I aint even got a hangover this morning, amazing what a win over the spuds can do for you is'nt it :wink: Happy days :D

Pity they had to start that, we were sposed to be cleebrating for fucks sake. One guy was actually hanging off of the wing mirror of a bus at one point. I thought the bus was going to speed off and take him down to t*******m :?

Yeah, it certainly seems that the team spirit is very good at the moment, and it is quite refreshing to see that it's not all revolving around one man. I'll give you that. Still, you won't see me getting carried away just yet. If we get a result like that at Stamford Bridge/Old Trafford/Anfield, then maybe I'll be getting a little more excited.

Still, great result. Well played, lads.

Fucking wankers. I don't like anything that would give the old bill a chance to crack down the showing live Premiership matches on Saturday afternoons.

Good job I moved off from that pub after the final whistle otherwise I might have lobbed a few of those kids at passing busses.

Might have resulted in me being sent down but at least it would have done the gene pool a big favour.

Yeah I was in the pins too, what an amazing atmosphere and an unbelieveable result! After Adebayoor blazed that chance from six yards over the top I was starting to think here we go again (along with a few expletives too!) but the boys did us all proud and whatever I had to say about Adebayoor prior to his two excellent finishes, I well and truly take it all back!

Yeah, I had the same thought about the old bill possibly clamping down on them showing games, been watching games in there for years so it'd be a pity if a few eeejits stopped that.
