Atmosphere at Emirates

[redwhiteAustrian]

Lol. Using Leicester come back at Tottenham optimism on an Arsenal forum.

What's to "lol" there? They point was whether Spu*s are the best team of the 4 up Top, which they aren't.

 

[Billytheyid]

Spu*s the best team out of the current top 4?
Leicester City disagree heavily.

No doubt all supporters of the top 4 teams would see their team as the best. Not necessarily down to pride but we know our team better than the others. The title is up for grabs at the moment; in 5 games time one or more of the top 4 could have dropped away. Who knows.

Oh and I think St Totteringham's day has been cancelled this year hasn't it?

I just found it funny that instead of saying Arsenal are better than Sp**s, you resorted to saying that Leicester are better. It just seemed like an amazing indication of how desperate things are for Arsenal given the recent slump. Either way, I had no idea what level of irony your statement may have been made with.

I know you lot would love the season to end in February.

The way Sp**s are going it could well be a leap year this year no doubt...

If you look at the table you'll realize that we're level on points but behind with a worse GD. In February - who cares about stuff like that when there are still three months to go?

For me, we've underachieved this season, while they have overachieved. They're looking the more confident side at the moment and are on a decent run, while we've been patchy at best.

Leicester though have outclassed everyone so far, in the big games as well.

No, we have more games to win...including your visit to WHL

Leap Year! Very good. Or hopefully a change in tradition

Whatever, any opinion is fine with me as long as it is backed up with objective reasoning.

Of course Leicester have looked brilliant but there is no doubt that it is rather ironically amusing for an Arsenal supporter to use Leicester to deny a Sp**s fan's claim that they are the best team.

 

[redwhiteAustrian]

Last time I checked, every team has to play the same amount of games until the end of the season. We all know how it goes, points are dropped and won equally quickly, especially this season.

 

[SuperGoon]

@Billytheyid Just consider this: Your best bet for a trophy this year and Mathieu Flamini ended it.

When it comes to it, y'all just can't commit to winning.

Oh it sure is, a testament to our **** November and January performances.

You did us a favour. Leicester don't have our squad but they aren't playing in the FA cup and EUFA cup. This could be the difference.

 

[US_Gooner]

Oh boy, the pitiful Sp*rs support still gazing upwards.

Talking big when you're level on points in February, only to vanish along with your squad by May.

 

[Sweggeh]

The crowd need to be completely up for it this weekend. Biggest game we have had for quite some time. A win is absolutely imperative, anything else and it is pretty much curtains. The fans need to turn up just like the players.

Wish I was going.

 

[Tir Na Nog]

The crowd at Bournemouth was typically brilliant from our away fans. I reckon it'll be reasonably good on Sunday, could fade though if we don't score early and it'll be the typical angst around the Emirates until we do.

 

[SuperGoon]

Same. My parents are going and I'm so jealous, haha.

 

[say yes]

Could we just change this into a general Emirates thread? So can encompass home form as well as atmosphere as our home form is going to be absolutely crucial to this run in.

Arsenal home win % at Emirates 64% since 2006

Champions home win %
14/15 79%
13/14 89%
12/13 84%
11/12 95%
10/11 95%
09/10 89%
08/09 84%

Currently we're on 58% with 7 home games remaining.. If we win all 7 we'd have that up to 74%.

 

[SuperGoon]

Honestly that could be enough. We absolutely have to do a job on Sp**s though. Even if we don't win against Leicester, that much is a must.

 

[TheSage]

Atmosphere and results at the Emirates are our biggest weakness ... fortress Highbury it is not ... but you get three points for a win home or away, in the stats it makes no feckin' difference, an away win at the Spuds will do me just fine .... but a home win on Sunday is a must ...

How to fix the atmosphere? probably can't be done without a standing terrace ... so let's hope that happens sometime soon ....

 

[redwhiteAustrian]

Winning a title at our ground and celebrating it (Villa home last game) would be a decent start to really improve things.
