M1tche Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 The golden rule for sitting in the home end at an away game is: as long as you can restrain yourself emotionally (if we score, decisions going for/against us), then things should be fine. Would there really be that much bother at a place like the Emirates, even if you did do the occasional moan? Obviously it isn't America but surely it can't be that bad? You wouldn't get your ass kicked or anything, right? Just a bunch of banter? You'd very possibly get a slap and more likely if you were open about it would induce abuse from a wide area of fans around you which would attract the attention of the stewards and the dibble and you'd either be thrown out or arrested. Arsenal has this perception of being a soft touch whereas Islington, Holloway and Finsbury Park are pretty rough areas and you're as likely to get a dig here as you are anywhere. If your in the wrong end just sit quiet and watch the game, I know if I had a arsenal fan sitting next to me at sjp The most annoying thing he could do is act like one I did the same last year and went beyond mental when that andy bloke scored and got some banter, but no real abuse. The seats are in with staff and that, so not too bad. Will be doin the same again tonight if we get a result. Might even go with the full black and white body paint or is that a step too far?

Disco Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 If it's true Raylor is out reckon we might see: Tiote - Cabaye Obertan Jonas HBA Ba Arsenal will dominate possession so keep Tiote and Cabaye deeper and try to hit with pace on the break - Ba should be able to find space among their dodgy defenders. I'd play that anyway but I'm ultra cautious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Reet. We're close enough to kick off that we need to move from realism/pessimism to unbridled optimism. Gonna smash them 6-0. Ba hattrick, HBA with 2 and Colo with a 'Scholes-esque' edge-of-the-box volley from a corner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

M1tche Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I think a very good 3-2 win, hba to run the show getting 2 cabaye with the 3rd and RVP with their 2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenham Mag Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 It's a shame Diaby won't be playing. HBA would have show him up and got his own back after he was picked on by him at Clairefontaine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last few matches I've watched in town has usually ended up in a loss for us..... But the strong possibility of Ben Arfa starting has got me all excited now!

Geordie Ahmed Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Would be immense if we can get something from this BUT I can only see it being a comfortable win for Arsenal I would like us to really go for it, anything we get I would consider a bonus so may as well give it a real try instead of being overly defensive Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanSkÃrare Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Unproportinally nervous about this. Probably the excitement a win would bring combined with the fact that we're going to see Hatem starting on what we believe to be some sort of form for the first time in a while.
