Title: Great day out at Arsenal.
Post by: Lindy on September 13, 2017, 12:23:40 pm
Really looking forward to the day. No doubt we will get hammered and then we can get back to business as usual and concentrate on the league! A big factor in the teams lack of concentration and players looking not to get injured.

How do you know that players are trying to avoid injury (so they can play at Arsenal).

Wishful thinking! Hope to get back to winning ways after the Arsenal game.

In all honesty it will be on there minds. They wouldn't be human if not.
A chance to play at the Emirates will probably never come round again for most of our lads.

AT the Arsenal game - modesty didn't allow you to actually call it .

I doubt it very much, they are pro footballers with a job to do every game, not sunday league lads who might get a chance to play on a league ground in the sunday league cup final.

For anybody of a certain age who are going down early on Wednesday you could go to Highbury and stand in the gardens (old pitch) and remember what it used to be like. Not sure how legal it is but when I last went there was no problems and plenty of gooners around.  Outside is almost as it was back in the day.

You won't get in unless you're a resident.

I lived there for 12 months, and it is impossible to get in without a keyfob, unless someone lets you in. The security is pretty tight as well, especially on match days.

I do understand what you say Mr F. but I went down on a match day and there were a lot of Arsenal fans milling about inside the now apartment blocks taking lots of pictures.
