I was struck by the extreme contrast at Sunderland between the ads facing the pitch and the ads facing the fans. On the neon side it's all Mister Potato and Visit Tanzania, on the matt side it's all local rags and funeral parlours.

On my way back from tonight's game, was actually a pretty even game just that arsenal were very... Arsenal. Chelsea were also very Chelsea

Jenko, Ryo and Bendtner were all rubbish, subs came too late. Saw the crowd being criticised for getting on big Nicks back... But at some point he could stop being shit, honestly the ball was bouncing off him everywhere and he ruined every single good attacking move

Where were you sitting? I'm making my North Bank debut on Saturday (sort of) and hoping for some atmosphere.
― Ismael Klata, Tuesday, 29 October 2013 22:58 (ten years ago) link
I was in the east stand, and before that the clock end. I think if you want atmosphere the north bank seems a good bet, as do most of the lower tiers.
But really the best option if you're after atmosphere would be the away section

I reckon I could if I have to, yeah xp - was watching Awaydays the other night, it's got me right in the mood for some old-school berserking. I was getting my hair cut yesterday, was so tempted to ask for a wedge.
It shows up as North Bank on the seating plan - but actually I'll be right down at the touchline by the corner flag, so not sure why.

I was in a pub this evening, full of people who weren't watching the football really, until the penalty shootout when the entire pub galvanised in lolling at shite penalties and lolling at Man Utd.
Also I insisted before the shootout started that Ki was absolutely taking one and going to stick it away, and my mates were all "ha, everyone's shite, you're wrong". DON'T THINK SO.
Also also, it transpired that my mate sneakily stuck an inplay bet on Sunderland to qualify just before extra time started, a fiver at 5/1, so when we all finished lolling at Man U the drinks were
Basically, that is what watching football in a pub should be like - a mixture of calling shit right for kudos, getting free beer, and Man Utd being crap.

he has a fairly good scoring record with city but his general play is fairly crap, especially compared to negredo
