When Spurs do it, it's illegal and gets us a cut in allocations. When Coventry City do it, it's "epic".

Coventry may have crashed out of this season’s FA Cup but their fans were determined to have a good time at Arsenal, with a sensational rendition of ‘Twist and Shout’ at the Emirates.

While queuing for half-time drinks – although some may have had enough already – Sky Blues supporters forgot the fact their side were 2-0 down and partied all the same.

It seems Coventry’s drop to League One and the loss of their home ground has given the Sky Blues faithful a great, devil-may-care attitude.

And while the video may stop after three minutes and six seconds, the Coventry fans sound as though they could have gone on all night.

The Emirates has never been so noisy…



I think stuff like this is class! But the double standards are a bit frustrating (re. beer throwing).

Coventry fans are bunch of idiots to be honest. They think they can get away with anything. Although their club was on the brink of extinction at the start of the season, a lot of their fans ran onto the pitch vs Crawley and caused mayhem. Hate them.

I remember those days in the brickes :(.
Midweek games pre match is still like that in there if people are drunk enough

Everytime I take a non Spurs fan to a match they love the pre match experience in that pub - there's a small army of Spurs fans in Rome now as a result of my cousins and their respective friends asking me to take them to football matches whenever they come to London

The joke is they generally ask me to take them to Chelsea or Arsenal matches initially too - but they've all been converted by the prematch and post atmosphere after a few beers

Sadly i think you're right!

Ha ye some old faces there!

My dad said is a waste of beer which is why I don't think away games are his scene anymore. He had his day, now he needs to retire to the shelf with his radio in one ear ha.

Unfortunately I will be watching Wednesday's game on BT sport - I will be there for the Everton game however


Edit - I now have visions of you being the guy chanting Saville is a Yid at the guy by the bar before the Hull cup match who looked the spitting image of Jimmy Saville

I think the op is getting mixed up. Out away support has been reported for this up in Manchester and other places. I don't think that's why arsenal gave us a reduced allocation, that was more due to them being bumperclots and previous experience with Chelsea fans in the cup.
