Bloody useless Arsenal. I had a bet on a draw and they could not even manage that!

Nope...but I do get a good view of the other stands and see a fair number leaving ..not as many as esl..but it’s not surprising given the reasons you state...if I’d taken a child I’d probably leave early...shame though it means I’m going to have a bit of a dilemma over taking my grandson when he’s old enough

He’ll be Palace :(

Given the choice, I bet 99% of (genuine) Arsenal and West Ham fans would go back to Highbury and the Boleyn tomorrow. The Emirates is an awful soulless bowl devoid of atmosphere and stuffed with tourists. I've not been to the London Stadium yet, but its not even a proper football ground.

Given what we went through to get a stadium I'm not THAT wracked with sympathy. But I do have a certain amount of empathy with their long-standing fans who must pine for what they used to have - which was two of the best and most iconic stadiums in the country.

100%, and include White Hart Lane in that, grounds with character. There was more atmosphere in the North Bank at Highbury when they had that temporary mural than at the Emirates.

Just hope they beat Norwich Sunday and he keeps his job till we play them

He needs to go before then! There's no way they'll beat Norwich at the moment thus giving them points. Then, they'll sack him and we'll face a rejuvenated/post sacking team of Arsenal. They'll beat us heavily. If Emery was in charge v us (which he won't be) I'd fancy us to get at least a point.

We’re good at exploiting teams in disarray, managers who’ve lost the plot - McLaren, Mourinho, Poch.

1-0 up now 2-1 DOWN, Emery will be sacked before we play them

Sadly, yes, hoping he might limp on for a coupe of matches so we can stuff them at the Emirates but, I fully expect us to be stuffed by a resurrected Ozil scoring 3

Bottom line, neither club is big enough to fill the stadium.

Oh, hang on....the Arse have 40,000 season ticket holders....

Maybe it is because they are bit shit at the moment, both with shit managers.

Beautifully set up for Arsenal to start their resurgence with an emphatic win over a South Coast club, we are the go to club to end shit home runs of form for teams and players :down:

They play Norwich on Sunday.
Lose that and surely he’s gone.
They are hopeless at the moment so fingers crossed they scrape a win on Sunday to keep him in post.

And start there resurgence they will. Two or three quality signings in defensive areas, and a change of head coach will transform Arsenal. Going forward they are still as good as anybody.

I still think they will finish comfortably in the top six or so.

Footnote. I say this as a former Gooner having cut my football supporting teeth, watching them in the late 1960's & 70's, so perhaps a tad biased..
