cubaricho 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? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Emirates might be a bit laid back but I personally wouldn't risk doing anything against what's considered the norm there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The danger I'd say is someone would get pissed off and report you to a steward who would then eject you from the ground for being in the home end rather than the away end.

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.

TRon Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I think we'll get beat but I just wish we'd go there with the sort of attitude Swansea showed against City. Be confident enough to defend stoutly but play football at the same time. Arsenal are in form but their defence can be got at and we have the players to do it. We just need to have a good game plan and believe in ourselves. None of this "let's have a go we can afford to lose" bullshit that we went in against Spurs with.

Smal Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Quite looking forward to this. Not too hopeful about the result, but I'm expecting HBA to start especially with Taylor absent. Hopefully he isn't made a scapegoat if we lose badly, as it would've been on the cards regardless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah man,RVP for me is the difference.if he has an off game we can get something here but we can only get something if we play positively at a really high tempo.the times we've beaten them have been when we've rushed them.Im hopeful of something Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theregulars Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Think we can get a result but I see us conceding at least 2. Don't fancy Danny Simpson or Mike Williamson against their style of football at all. A few weeks ago I would have said we could win but they've been phenomenal of late, and RVP is ridiculous. I know hoofball sucks but anything which keeps the ball away from their midfield for extend periods will be a plus. Also think their midfield three will overrun Tiote and Cabaye if we play 4-4-2 - this happened at home to Wolves, and they're shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
