Everyone goes mental for a bit then get promptly told to sit down if they haven't already.

Completely agree with this. I do love an occasional "what do we think of tottenham?!" though.
There hasn't been much of an outing for either lately though, probably because of the grudging respect for tottenham's current form

...and stand up if you hate the S**** is poetic genius?
Clearly you've missed the point.
SING ABOUT ARSENAL!!!! Support the team and stop focusing on that mob.
Was listening to the Tuesday club podcast and the atmosphere at the emirates was touched on (about 15 mins in, on latest pod).

Wants you to learn about football
thanks, i was waiting for someone to notice it.
When it's 0-0 after 20 minutes at The Emirates you can feel the atmosphere change, unless we're completely dominant and a goal is inevitable. I remember once being sat next to this old Claude-ish geezer who wound me up to no end.
"Ahhh ffs, mate we're gonna lose. I can feel it, we're gonna lose. Wouldn't surprise me if we lost. This is one of those games isn't it? Wenger isn't gonna make any subs. Ahhh that was our chance, we've ****ed it now haven't we?"
I swear I could've chinned him.

Yeah the crowd acting like the sky is falling when the game happens to be close is really stupid.

I'd say the atmosphere is a combination of expensive ticket prices, a family/tourist vibe and the fans generally being used to us underachieving.

Really envy the germans for this. I'd love a safe standing area at the Emirates.
In the GAA matches in Ireland there's nothing else that compares to it.
The big end (17,000?) at the spuds new pit is being designed for rail seats ... standing will be back it's only the ferkin' Dippers who vote against it every year ... we can only hope it's soon

It's the expensive tickets and the fact that we have the oldest average age o f season ticket holders in the league . Too many Claudes .

It's pretty understandable from their point of view. It's a terrible event in their history.
I hear Juventus don't like having walls in their stadiums anymore for a similar reason.

I haven't been to an Emirates game in a while, go to the away games! You can stand, sing and generally go mental for 90 minutes, and it works out cheaper usually as well.
As for the atmosphere it's dire, one time some guys near me were trying to get a chant going and this taxi driver type bloke started to telling them to "shut the fack up, we're trying to watch the game". I'd argue we have the worst home support in the league, or at least tied with Sunderland and their ground is empty all the time.

Sat behind Mertesacker's brother at an away game years ago, away games are so much better.

Yeah, apparently his brother comes to see most of his matches. Pretty cool.
Away days are my favourite. Love living in the Midlands sometimes, I can get to plenty without excessive travel (money.)

Eventough there's a hugh difference between Highbury and Emirates (why doesn't anyone call it Ashburton Grove, btw???), I don't think the looks and appearance of Emirates is the main key to the poor surroundings.
The ticket prices must be reduced and for f sake, the FA must establish safe standing. I mean like, right now!!
