Are Arsenal 'piping in' crowd noise because the Emirates Stadium has no atmosphere?

Maybe its the fact that its a state of the art ground that has the best acoustics in England so the sound travels around within the ground that could be confusing all these obvious 'loyal' y1ds that come to out ground in open mouthed amazement, gawping at the length of our hot dogs, the padding on our seats and the beautiful football that is put on for them. The fact is, that match day at the Grove and match day at the lane is like comparing 'Fillet Mignon with a Pot Noodle' - This is the real reason for these sad stories.

Not at all. Would have liked to have seen the premiership team win just like Liverpool last year. As a West Ham supporter, I can get behind the premiership sides in any european competition. I don't begrudge Arsenal any honours as I don't Liverpool. The ref on Wednesday did make some bad calls though and Barca didn't look that good despite the hype. The FA Cup final was better.

Yes it is rubbish and I have liked  Embrace in the past, it won't be sung on terraces and pubs.\n\nSadly despite being English, I don't think we'll get much past    the group stage. As always  though England will make a meal of getting that far and we'll then probably knocked out on penalties (again)

Hooligans are an embarassment but you're right, England fans do have a bad rep but you can't tar everyone with the same brush can you?!

Yes, the referee did indeed fart during the match.\n\nThe stadium had to be evacuated.  Said Ronaldinho, who spoke briefly while being treated for smoke inhalation: "suspend him".

This is a tough one.  I'm English and very proud of it.  I don't like the idea of hooligans though.  However if someone starts giving me grief, there is no way I will back down.  I guess this is the same for a group of lads who are supporting football.  If you look back in the history of English football there has always been hooligans.  However I believe that the action should be kept on the pitch.  Look at rugby fans, the game is violent and the fans get on great with each other.

The way we land the shuttles now there is not much of a noise,\nthey have no engines or motors ,they glide through air and land in the designated area ,the only sound coming would be from the commentary on the television, so switch it OFF .

I'm suprised we haven't had a load of answers from our Welsh colleagues here.\n\nThere are a number of reasons. As your first respondent has said there is not enough air circulation, however this is not the major reason or cause, although it is a factor.\n\nWhen the project was originally conceived, the idea was that the pitch would be grown on a large number of pallets. It was also planned that there would be more than one pitch, the idea being that as one pitch became worn, the pallets making it up would be removed and new pitch installed that had been growing outside for some months in natural conditions. The worn pitch would then be taken away and allowed to recover in natural conditions, so that it could be used again at a later date.\n\nThis was a good idea apart from two things which had been overlooked. The first was the difficulty of ensuring that all the pallets of turf were at the same height and level, when installed, to provide an even playing surface and the second was the length of time it would take for the turf at the edge of the pallets to knit together with the ajoining pallets of turf. This was never resolved and resulted in the pitch being relaid in situ inside the stadium to overcome the uneveness issue.\n\nAgain a good idea as long as growing conditions inside the stadium are adequate. A further two problems here. The roof, when open, only uncovers the pitch area. This means that only when the sun is at its highest point in the sky, around midday for two and a half hours, does it shine onto the playing area. Not the best conditions for an ideal grass growing environment. The second point is that due to a dispute with Cardiff RFC, a piece of land that was going to be part of the stadium was unable to be purchased. This meant that although the original intention had been to have the pitch aligned East to West, therby allowing maximum sunlight into the stadium down its length, it had to be aligned North South, meaning that the only the narrowest width of the roof was available to admit sunlight. Then, as stated previously, there is not enough air circulation to allow the pitch to dry properly.\n\nI have been to the stadium many times and the problems with the pitch are a shame because it is a magnificent stadium.\n\nDon't get me started on what is wrong with the bars! Suffice to say that the stadium authorities boast they can pour/serve approximately 70,000 pints an hour. All very well, however assuming the crowd is 70,000, of which 20,000 at least are going to be male of drinking age, this does not compute in terms of a fifteen minute half time break, with 20,000 trying to get at least two pints down their necks.

Wenger is an arrogant twat. He is the reason people dislike Arsenal, despite the good football they are capable of.\n\nI'd take George Graham's boring football over Wenger's any day.

Peter Hill-Wood, today said that there have been no talks so far about Beckham joining them (Arsenal).\nWenger himself said "Beckham reports are 'creative'".\n\nI know I definitely would NOT like to see Beckham with the Gunners! Hope he's not asked to sign up with them...

I don't know about Arsenal being best. As there are a few London teams that seam to be on par with Arsenal.

yes they can.  It would make for one boring match, and the rowdy fans would start a riot.  But yes theoretically it is possible.
