When West Ham's goal went in due to some absolutely horrendous defending I thought "oh dear god, I shouldn't have came ", but by the 80th minute I was back to my usual effing, blinding, shouting, screaming, jumping-up-and-down-and-getting-all-exciteable self The 45,000 crowd made that winning goal. It's the loudest i've ever heard the SoL, and bear in mind I haven't missed a home game in 2 seasons Interesting stat in the paper today: 11 of our 33 points have came from goals in the 85th minute or later You know what pisses me off though? We score all these late goals in 90th, 93rd, 96th minutes etc and yet STILL you can see crowds of people leaving in the 80th minute Can't stand people who leave early for no reason. I've never left early in any home game i've been to, no matter how poorly we're playing. I've never booed us either mind, which puts me a step above a certain other segment of fans in the northeast

It's like when Motson and Lawro always bangs on about people leaving Wembley early and how it's awful... It's bleeding obvious why people leave early, to beat the rush, London is so hugely congested anyway and it's a pain in the arse to get out of it at the best of times, let alone with up to 90,000 other people leaving at the same time! Also, a lot of people watching won't be from London and have long journey's back, my dad went to watch England vs Germany but had to leave 15 minutes before time so he could make the huge walk round the stadium, onto the hugely crowded tube to the train station. Otherwise, you get off with everyone else and you miss your trains.

Yup - I agree with you there. An interesting side note to this is that, in a 90000 seater stadium, the FA Cup semifinallists are getting 33000 seats each. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out that it means anywhere up to 24000(!) people there will have no interest in the game. If I was a VIP there, I'd actually see the whole game. (Which I have done - three times.)

There's a lad sits beside me leaves about 5-10 mins before half time and doesn't come back until 10, even 15 mins into the start of the second half. Again, if I leave my seat it's during half time and even then im only gone a little while

i'm massive Joined: 7 March 2006 Posts: 15,998 User: 41	Absolutely amazing match. Credit to Arsenal, in the past five days they've produced two of the most exciting matches all season - a great advertisement for the Premiership [one was a Champions League tie but it still featured two Prem teams..]. But DEAR GOD Arsenal learn from your mistakes; there was absolutely no reasoning whatsoever as to why Gallas had to stick his hand out like that, let alone handball it AFTER it had gone through his arms. Made no sense at all. Still they'll be one hell of a force next season if they can keep the momentum going, regardless of their supposed 'low budget'.
