Truth be told, I dont feel massively comfortable at the emirates. I find it a little bit lacking in comparison to the highbury experience.

That said, the amount of Northern aways is in steady decline, what with the rise of the welsh clubs and utterly superfluous clubs like Southampton and Norwich.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

The whole emirates experience just feels a little bit forced, still.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I remember when football was football :sigh:

[Classic Jorge]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

So how do you know it is still forced?

The Emirates can rock every bit as hard as Highbury used to in latter days, and just like Highbury, that doesn't happen all the time.

I went a few years back, I think it was the match where eboue got booed, and the most audible thing were the collective sigh/grumble from the crowd.

I wasnt really referring to the crowd noise though, it was more the feel of the place, the duende of it, that just isnt there for me.

I love the away games though, still a good laugh.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I can't be arsed with the miserable *******s.

[Maravilloso Marvo]

[Monty91]

actually criticised us on Tuesday despite the fact that we fielded only a single regular-playing defender, a second choice goalkeeper, had two key midfielders unavailable, our best player and main striker on the bench, and injuries to three other key players who would almost certainly have started.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

It was real bananas that used to get thrown.

[Ashberto]

The place was rocking. Chelsea was very depresing though.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

f**k all of them. f**k them good.

[Classic Jorge]

However, it's really not primarily about the atmosphere for me, if it were I would probably have found another club to support years ago.

[Monty91]

It is populated by scum who deserve to die.

Enjoy it!

I do feel a bit divorced from the whole thing though, I just cant get the enthusiasm together to bother with home games though.

[Monty91]

that our fans are not actually that bad afterall.

They are SCUM.

[Monty91]

hell of it, changed one if its words.

[Classic Jorge]

Norwich players, Fleck, Ullathorn, Sutton, Goss & Megson

I've nothing but horrible memories of that game, looking at the eviscerated north bank from my perch in the east stand. I had been roundly battered the night before and had two broken ribs, a broken eye socket and some pretty serious concussion. I looked like the elephant man in shades.

[Pat Vegas]

I will not take part in your test.

I was being coached by Arsenal during this point. Oh yes and I got to meet Paul Davis.

And played on the Astroturf pitches behind the clock end.

And had my penalty saved by a girl :-(

[Ashberto]

He won't mind.

[Monty91]

Ullathorn? Really?

I used to love looking at the Clock End when there was just a corrugated iron fence and clock there. Even the JVC jumbotron didn't work.
