Arsenal must have one of the best transport networks in The Premiership
5 tube stations all within 20/30mins walk, 4 train/overground stations and fuck knows how many bus routes
Any Gooner I hear moaning about 'having to get off early' needs to go to Reading away
-

Yep. Anyone with a functioning pair of legs can walk as far as Angel or Archway on the Northern line including three local stations and untold bus routes. I don't think there is an excuse to leave early

What would a Liverpool, Chelsea or Everton fan know about the logistics of moving a crowd of 60,000 away from a stadium?
-
• #72505
Don't forget though, 25,000+ Gooners need to leave early to get back to Surrey, Bucks & Berks, Middlesex, Hants, Herts so you're only really talking about 35,000....same as what Highbury used to hold

Oxford 2-0 up @ HT, away @ Wimbledon
I wonder if JohnH is there?
We should go to a game one day...

Boom. Headshot.

Not really though is it? More like a snide back of the head shot after the ref has pulled them both apart and asked to go back to their respective corners

Quite a bit probably. We have played in a larger stadium than you for most of our history. Only the last few years have seen you in a larger ground watched by bankers and lawyers.
Chelsea have huge experience of negotiation with local authorities to allow ingress and egress from a ground. We will be moving to a larger ground before too long.
Any way, West Ham's ground is soon to be larger than yours and so size isn't everything.
Trophies are much sweeter.

Good win, in a game we had by the throat, sweet goal by Lennon, little jab, lots of pace and a killer finish.
Great goal by jerome for stoke, Christ that ball was moving...
Newcastle looked like they ran out of legs, you could feel the crowd getting on the backs of arsenal everytime Newcastle scored. Game was close for a long time.
Up into third but who knows for how long...

Really happy with how spurs played but thought we were going to lose it having wasted so many chances. Ade really needs a couple of goals to get up and running, that one on one he missed was a sitter.

Total Golazzo from Jerome.
Pardew ballsed things up with the substitutions after our 4th. Brought on Ameobi for Bigirimana, who had been doing the major positive work for them in the centre - Tiote had a stinker.
Demba Ba will be off in january - so I'd just stick Cisse up top and get on with getting his confidence back, african nations will royally shit that team up aswell (Tiote, Bigirimana, Cisse & Ba?)
We looked good - yes there were defensive issues (both full backs made errors) we are a much better team with Gibbs though, he just needs to keep working at his positioning, it's the same flaw that Clichy had.
Walcott isn't going to sign a contract, he wants more money than anyone else is getting at the club, I agree that we shouldn't be held to ransom over this, he can go to Man City and have migraines with Nasri and Scott Sinclair or try his luck getting ahead of Mata, Oscar and Hazard over at the bridge - if that's what he really wants.Oh and Gareth Bale I really wish you were English

Nice to see Bale taking the mantel of biggest diving, cheating cunt from Suarez. Cheers for that. I think Liverpool will go down by 3 goals today and it will probably be his last game for us. I think todays result will finally put some pressure on Rodgers to dispense with the spin and produce the fucking results

I have only been to the emirates once as an away fan. When exiting the ground (after the final whistle, even though we were losing) I asked a steward which the quickest way to holloway road was, knowing fine well that it was down one of two ramps to my right. The steward said to go all the way round the ground anti-clockwise. I confirmed my suspicion with another steward, and called the first guy a cunt.
Should have reported him.

spot on to me, sadly
I'm not disagreeing with the sentiment but liverpool have lost 6 games the same as Spurs and Aresenal this season. That's not the problem it's all the bore draws.

We are on a cycling forum mate! I'd like to think I was a little more svelte..
When Arsenal moved to the Emirates, Islington council was so far up their rectums that they did not do what any other local autority would have done and insisted that Arsenal pay for the provision of peoper tube stations to allow supporters into and out of the ground without driving. Instead they just bent over and greased what needed greasing. They also used the Emirates as an excuse to extend the match day no parking area and got money in from fining locals for parking near their homes. The one concession that Islington did squeeze out of Arsenal was a provision that a certain number of season ticket shad to be sold to locals. Sadly only the local lawyers and bankers who, hitherto had followed rugger, could afford them. So they now have a stadium filled with recent moneyed twerps with no sense of tradition bleating on about their history and everyone else running for the tube just after half time.
