Champions League, 3-0… Absolute belter of a game, still we were short of one little goal in the end, and we are now out of the Champions’ League. Fabulous atmosphere though, and I lost my voice, sitting in Block 3, Row 7, Seat 83.
Arsenal v. AC Milan, Emirates stadium, London
Arsenal v. Manchester Utd, Emirates stadium, London
Premier League, 1-2… A very poor first half, and a promising Premier League debut for 18 year-old Oxlade Chamberlain. A very good seat in Block 110, Row 6, Seat 535. But no room for pictures (only with iPhone) with my back to the exit and their stewarts.
I met with some guys from Arsenal France at the Tolly before the game, Francis (@ArsenalFrance) and @GrooverBlog amongst others.
Arsenal v. Olympique Marseille, Emirates stadium, London

Arsenal v. Liverpool, Emirates stadium, London
Premier League, 0-2… Great game up to Frimpong sending off, then it all went pershaped. Shame about injury to Kos. Met one of my best men to be: Shine. Good view of the pitch, sitting in Block 3, Row 7, Seat 71. Also note the delightful gesture from Charlie Adam to Samir Nasri.

Arsenal v. Barcelona, Emirates stadium, London
Champions’ League, 2-1… You beauty! One of the best games of my life! Ever! My voice has gone. Those two goals were something! Well done guys! Great view as I was sitting in Block 15, Row 5, Seat 462. (Listen to the 50 first seconds or so from the Arseblog podcast, episode 189, to get an idea of the atmosphere that night).
Arsenal v. Newcastle United, Emirates stadium, London
Premier League, 0-1… Unlucky, but also a bit out of our depth today. Shame cause it was my very first game of the season, And I was expecting something different. Really good seat in Block 15, Row 6, Seat 477.
Emirates Stadium Seating Chart, Emirates Stadium, London
The Emirates stadium layout has been modified so as to copy the layout of the late Highbury stadium. Namely recreating the old North Bank, East Stand, West Stand and Clock End, and putting the old clock in the “new” stadium (all maps and graphics courtesy of Arsenal FC).
The change now is in the naming of the four sides of the stadium, like it was at Highbury…
East Stand:
West Stand:
Clock End:
North Bank:
Away Fans: They generally seat in Blocks 20, 21, 22 & 23 (league games, Champions’ League) and sometimes even take from Block 20 till 26 (FA Cup games).
Here is a good FAQ from the club regarding the Emirates Stadium, I would advise any travelling supporter not familiar with the Emirates stadium to check it out.
If you seat in the Lower Tier from Blocks 2 to 15 (front rows), you should have a good glimpse of the Arsenal team training before games… and that is generally the side of the pitch towards which the home team attack in the second half.
For more information on where the best seats are, and what kind of view you get from them, check this link… In recent games, I have taken pictures from where I was seated, and indicated the location of my seat (including some comments). Or check Arsenal own modelisation tool here.
Here is Emirates Stadium seating plan, if you just need the Block numbers and their situation in the stadium as a whole:
And the club level still has the same layout as before:

Barcelona v. Arsenal, Nou Camp stadium, Barcelona
Champions League, 4-1… It was not to be, but at least we had three minutes of complete ecstasy! I was sitting amongst the away fans at the top of the stadium, and the police were a bit heavy handed, but all in all a good away trip. I have recorded a small video of this fantastic arena: here.
Arsenal v. Barcelona, Emirates stadium, London
Champions League, 2-2… What a game! Very nervy and stressed until they scored, then… the comeback! I was sitting in Block 2, Row 11, Seat 49, good view throughout the game. Cannot wait for the return game, as I’m traveling to my first ever away game! Thanks again Andy for the ticket!
