Finally a dream fulfilled. A game at the Emirates Stadium to watch the boys in action. The wait for this day has been a long time coming. As i walked through the gates of the stadium there was this feeling of being ecstatic that took control of me. There was half hour more for the game to kick off against our boogie team Bolton Wanderers. It could have been one of the coldest days in London but that wasn't a dampener for the joyous feeling. I was on row 6 and seat 728 in the green turnstile not far away from the away section. The got underway at 3 pm sharp with the Arsenal team shooting to the side i was sitting at. The first half display was quite boring to be honest with not many chances created and the away team parking a bus in front of the goal post.
Shouting out each player's sir name as their names were called out
Exchange of slurs between each group of supporters
The singing and cheers
Stand up if your an arsenal supporter haha (this was to make the away team sit in their seats)
This was my entertainment in the first half. At half time i was cold and every step i took was painful but that was pointless when i saw a more spirited display in the second half and after umpteen chances and misses the very own Bendtner struck one in to bring the stadium to their feet and breathe a sigh of relief.
The experience was fantastic. I wish to go for more and hopefully with more company in the future because it certainly is a joy to watch and an experience in its own being at another HOME.
The first Arsenal team that i witnessed was as follows
Almunia, Clichy, Djourou, Toure, Sagna, Nasri, Denilson, Diaby, Eboue, Van Persie, Adebayor.
Subs: Bendtner, Vela, Bischoff, Fabianski, Wilshere, Gibbs
Certainly more games should be on the cards soon. The Arsenal better known as the gunners certainly gunned me down with joy :). Oh yes and when the game was over i was frozen that was the sad part of it all but it couldn't over shadow the fulfillment.
