Emirates Stadium... finally finds its own voice!

Majestic, Marvelous, a real jewel...

The New Home of Arsenal Football Club - Emirates Stadium "as quiet as a fu*kin' mole"

Subjected to constant bombardment from scores of away supporters, for the first time in many years Arsenal fans were being overshadowed by away supporters, with Spurs fans chanting "Just Like at Highbury".
A stadium worthy of the third most successful team in English Football history needs voice to match that.

It has taken almost a full season for the echos, the cries and the chants of the North Bank, to find refuge in a small but very visable Block 6. The problem with the Emirates was many fans expected the ground to be a picturesque of Highbury, with each fan maintaining his/her loyalty by stand, but many chose to ignore it and sit where they felt would be a better view.

I went to three games last season, one win, one draw and the only loss of the season.
The win was probably the best of the season, The Carling Cup Semi-Final win against Tottenham, on par with the last minute winner against Manchester United just ten days before.
On that occasion, it did not matter where u sat in the stadium, if you were a boring old executive sod, or just a 6 yr old nipper, beating Spurs in a Semi-Final at home and beating Man United with last minute Henry was a turning point for the atmosphere of the stadium.
I remember the game so well, the upper tier where I was sitting was quiet and solitary, erupting every few minutes or so when a woman to the right of me yelled "COME ON ARSENAL", and myself yelling "FU*K OFF KEANE". All was put together just before half time when both of us joined to sing "We won the league at the Sh*itole", and the rest of block we was sat in joined in and a merging of the whole stadium on there feet: "Stand up, if you hate tottenham"
The first half seemed to drag on for an eternity, the ball heading one way then the other, changing possession almost constantly
I don't know if it was because it was my first north London derby or because it was a semi-final, but my hands were shaking almost the whole game. I had previously been to the home ti with CSKA Moscow back in November 06', and the game had ended in a draw, with me still buzzing and wanting that first goal to saver. When relief finally hit me against Spurs in January, and I witnessed my first goal at the Emirates stadium, it was more than worth the 167 minute wait
I would have given anything to have been in Block 6 when Adebayor slotted past Robinson in the 77th minute. It felt like Christmas and all my birthday had all combined into one intense psychological orgasm, Emirates had come alive!
