Away Day Review - The Emirates Stadium - 23/2/11

Last updated : 24 February 2011 By Dan Buxton

Journey

We left at 2.30 in the afternoon and arrived back at 2 the next morning. However it was an experience to say the least. Got stuck in a bit of traffic on the way but the fun started on the way back. Drove around for an hour after the game trying to find the way home, and had a great laugh doing it, great choice of radio station :D 9/10

Parking

Ignored advice to park outside and tube in and landed on a car park right outside the ground, literally 100 yards from the turnstile. Cost £15 but there was four of us so cost wasn't too bad and we were off quickly after the final whistle 8/10

Atmosphere

Away support were very good, as ever, and never stopped supporting the side. Ryan did get some abuse but it died down after his first couple of touches. Better home support than usual but not great by any stretch 6/10

Pies and Pints

Pie and Coke, I was driving, cost £5.70. Not too expensive, especially for London, and the pie was fantastic, one of the best I have had at a football match 8/10

Performance and Result

After leaving Carew isolated for the first half an hour the Potters came right into the game, gave it a real go, and deserved at least a point for their second half performance. Losing 1-0 is hardly a disgrace at Arsenal 7/10
