A few videos and photos coming out today showing a bit of commotion before the game, can anyone who was there clarify whether it was actually bad or has it been made to look worse by the media?

There wasn't much trouble when I went last year, though I might have missed it, so have tensions increased this year? One of the guys on Arsenal TV claimed to have been 25 minutes late to the game because he was caught up in stuff he didn't want to talk about on camera but it was clear what he was referring to.

I'm hoping it's either being exaggerated or was kept purely to those who actually were looking for it, it'd be a shame of those who were there for the actual football got caught up in any of it.

Can only comment on what I saw, but it was much ado about nothing.

Don't be frightened Lufti. The bad men only hit people with good clothes on. Asda clad people are safe.

Was that it?

Seen worse in school playgrounds

Like I said in the OP, the media described it as a 'bloody brawl' and the bloke on Arsenal fan TV made it sound like it kicked off, so that's why I'm asking people who were actually there :)

I was there. Basically the usual greeting party singing some songs etc. A few scuffles near the front and stuff thrown. Saw a blue smoke bomb thing get chucked.

Nothing that doesn't usually happen when we play them or when we play West Ham.

I knew it was you. Lufti keep away from Riggi as well. He wears stuff from TK Maxx so you may get attacked or not. Dangerous

I only found out about it after I got home from the game! Seems like the story is being exaggerated :confused:
