Woolwich (H) - The Gallas Derby

[ChrisOTDH]

First time I went to the Emirates and they announced the starting line up by saying the first name on the tannoy and letting the crowd shout the last name made me feel so awkward. It's just really creepy.

Couple I got from yesterday, pre-game.

If I'm allowed to say so myself, I love the top photo!

Top photo is sweet. Decent AVB squat. But if it was me I'd be doing one of these:

Or this:

They would prolly throw me out though and I wouldn't get a chance to be so close to Bale's shorts :gomes:

Have seen it a couple of times and hadn't really thought much of until someone on here mentioned it. This is is really going to bug me now :avbshock:

Cannot be unseen lol

It livens up at about 2:29. Massive mong.

Whatever we are doing to make this guy feel unwelcome at White Hart Lane I hope it continues.

They do that in a lot of places, like at Parc des Princes. It might be "plastic", but the support has special little ways they say each player's last name.

Edit: Just saw the gelbe Wand do this when Błaszczykowski came off. Verdict: NOT PLASTIC.

This is pretty standard in large chunks of europe, it's a way for the fans to show appreciation of players when they announce the line-up, score or get subbed on/off. I wish it was part of the english tradition as it creates more atmosphere. Imagine having 33K people shouting your last named when you were to play or scored? A damn nice morale boost and you'll definitely want to do all you can to get that tripple last name roar after you score

A lot of aspects of European fan culture should be left to them and not brought over here. Shouting players second names out is definitely one of them.

Gooners don't want to go to the Lane because of hooliganism? No, Gooners don't want to go the Lane because they haven't won here since 2007.

Whilst it's not 'plastic' as such, it is all a little 'manufactured' atmosphere, and, like the Highbury mural back in the day, it just makes it look like Gooners don't KNOW how to generate their own atmosphere without a bit of help from the matchday PA system, or Islington Primary School's end of term art project!
Chelsea's official matchday flags are another example!

The first name thing just doesn't work in England, I loved it when I went to Inter away though.

I'm just jealous. :defoe:

 

[ChrisOTDH]

Éperons Fair enough mate, I just dont like it in English football. It has the same effect on me as when promoted teams bring their ridiculous "Chelsea Dagger" goal celebrations up with them. Really grates on me.

 

[Smoked Salmon]

So, I went to Real Madrid.





















Granted, there was no match on that day, but doesn't fucking matter.

This time a well known mongy gooner embarrasses himself. They do themselves no favours.

 

[Stanners]

I really don't know if I find his videos funny or awkward anymore.

Does anyone know if this kid has legit mental issues?

I keep half expecting his mum to shout "Henry! your humus is ready!"
