Not sure if this is the right place to ask, BUT, as I had NOOOO chance of getting a ticket for the game on Wed, I'm wondering whether it's worth buying a scalped ticket and sitting with Gooners?

Obviously, I'll have to keep my mouth shut. But should Super Luca bury a 30 yard screamer and I jump around like a 9 year old at Christmas, will I get ten shades of shit kicked out of me?

I'm heading to Canada for a few months in Jan before heading home to Oz, so this is my last chance to see a derby.

Thoughts? Advice?

Am I better just sitting in the pub?

(Or taking the trouble and strife out for a meal given it's out wedding anniversary.......nah, scrap that option)

I wouldn't bother personally. The great thing about going to live games is for the atmosphere and joining in the songs etc. I wouldn't recommend singing Spurs songs or cheering if we score, whilst sat with the home Scum fans. Basically you wont be doing the team any good as you can hardly vocally get behind them, it will be cold and you'll not really be able to show any emotion. I went to Boro away to see Ramos's first game and I sat with Boro fans. It was a pretty shit way to see the game. Go to the pub and watch it with Spurs fans.

I'd advise against it. You'll just get wound up listening to them, and if we lose it'll be absolutely terrible. Whether you get out safely or not (if you blow your cover!) depends entirely on who you end up sitting near - there are no doubt some areas where everyone around you would shit themselves if they knew you were a Spurs fan because it stands to reason that any Spurs fan making themselves known in the home stands at the Emirates during the derby must be an absolute fuck-hard mentalist. However, sit somewhere else and you'll probably need to see a dentist first thing Thursday. You'd almost certainly be arrested for inciting the crowd as well, and if you're a ST holder at WHL could even get a ban.

Watch it down the pub with some fellow yids, that way you'll be able to enjoy the win even more!

Thanks lads. I'll take that as a head to the pub.
Going to the dentist is overrated.

Or you could become an SC legend and stand there with your shirt off and your username plastered across your chest.

I'd give you some rep.

Personally, I wouldn't want to sit with Arse supporters. I mean, think about it:

You'd be spending money on more than just the ticket. In addition to it, you'd need:

1) Industrial strength noseplugs/facemask to block out the stench of their fetid, unwashed, pustule-ridden bodies;

2) A biohazard suit to protect against the infectious contents of the aforementioned pustules. This is required in addition to the noseplugs, as the smell of Arse supporters, aka Goonerstench is the most pervasive smell imaginable.

3) A squegee to wipe the eruptions from the aforementioned pustules from the faceplate of your biohazard suit.

4) A picnic basket, wrapped in protective cloth and kept under oil for protection. This is because the food they serve at the Emirates is designed specifically for deranged mutants (Scum supporters) and so is indigestible to human beings (everyone else).

5) One of those big spray cans with the handle and the tube and the seperate sprayer. Filled with sulphuric acid or sodium hydroxide. This is because at the end of the game you will need to spray the surrounding area in order to unstick yourself from the encrusted drool that will have reached calf-level. Trust me, 90 minutes of Scum supporter drool builds up.

6) An iPod. To break the silence

7) A translator kitted out with the above, in case you need to communicate with the locals. Common phrases include: "Where's the exit?", "Excuse me, that's my vomit-bag", "Oh, what a wonderful shade of green your teeth are", and, "Wow! Seven fingers, eh? Whoduh thunk it!";

Last but not least:

8) A vomit-bag.

See? More trouble than it's worth.

Ive gone before and sat at teh emirates with a mate and we didn't (obviously) wear Spurs gear.

We would stand when arsenal scored (not clap) and just talk quietly. No one messed with us and im pretty sure people knew we weren't arse fans but they weren't sure we were Spurs fans.

We had crappy seats at the top so it was fine. I've also seen Chelsea -Spurs at Stamford bridge under similar circumstances.

I'm American so if anyone messed with me I'd say I was just there to see a real live english football game. If they mess with you say you are a QPR fan or something and just wanted to see a Premier game.

Don't act like a twat and you will be fine.

Oh and actually sit on your hands if Spurs score. It helps.

In the US it's a tradition to road trip to other games in American Football (college for me) and I've been to 11/12 stadius in our conference - I'd recommenda game at Emirates as well - good experience.
