It was quality mate. We always expect the atmosphere to be good at these stages of the champions league but what unfolded in the game clearly made it better.
There was a quiet period after they scored, and we got some 'where is your famous atmosphere' chants from arsenal fans but they were quickly shut up by 'where's your european cup'.
Hypia's goal lifted the team and the crowd. After Torres's goal the whole kop was bouncing to his tune. Amazing site. Ive had that song in my head all day. Everyone was standing for the last 10 mins.
Unfortunately didnt get the change to bump into this Jamo fella because I wasnt sitting in row 305, its only the ultra fans that are eligible for that section.

Cheers sounds amazing. The Derby was a bit flat as we dominated from start to finish really.

The atmosphere was great, but not with the same "edge" as had it been Chelski.
The singing was starting from all corners of the ground, but was often not very "joined up".
It was one of those games where it started off very loud, but the nerves start to kick in with the crowd and it did quieten down, songs are still sung , but not with the same commitment.
We sit looking over the away supporters, they were singing about the atmosphere even when it was bouncing.
Just as a quick note, big up to the Arsenal fans, they are usually pretty respectful, not like most of the arseholes that visit.
It did start getting much louder in the closing 15 minutes when we were battering them.
As was said in another post, wait until the next European night, this was just a little loosener .... 😉

How is the head Vlad and what did you think of Crouchie's inclusion?

The head is fine Roland , thanks.
Whilst I am a Crouchie fan, I am not sure it was the right thing to do , but we got away with it, and the big chap had a good game.
It was not well balanced at all.
Gerrard did on the left what he does on the right, ie not be there, he always drifts in leaving no outlet
