To be sick of all the Arsenal celebrations??

[Newmeagain]

I totally get it some - people are happy and excited. But the combination of the win, alcohol and hot weather has made my part of London feel really unpleasant since the big win. I went out earlier to get a few things from my local supermarket and felt really intimidated in my own neighbourhood - so many men (and yes, it is nearly all men) drinking, shouting, swearing, blowing stupid plastic horns at passers by. And now there is police and helicopters everywhere.

I am just praying for rain and cold weather, which I know will not come!

The season only finished 3 and a half hours ago!

Why does enjoying a win mean they can’t use bins?!

Do you comment every time there’s something big happening? Or is it just about it being football?
Genuine question?

What about Bonfire Night and the accompanying fireworks?, what about the New Years Eve celebrations? what about Royal Weddings? The Jubilees? I’ve seen the litter from these on the morning after… horrendous.
Every big event has idiots and drunks (Royal Ascot, The Grand National..for example)
I used to live by a large “summer event” area…it was a pain in the butt.. but nothing I could do, bar the eyeroll, and wait til it passed.
All you can do🤷‍♀️

They’ve been celebrating since Tuesday so it must have been anticipated then. Not a football fan, so not familiar with the ins and outs of what they needed to win. DD sent me video from her flat on Tuesday night at midnight, it sounded like bloody mayhem outside!

I don’t comment that much and have commented re Arsenal because it’s literally close to home. That said, those other events you mention piss me off equally.

Guy Fawkes is fine, up until 11pm and only for the 5th. Don’t mind NYE as long as fireworks stop at 1.

Jubilees and Royal Weddings I just find pathetic and twee - but generally people aren’t getting shit faced and pissing on doorsteps and honking horns at 3am.

I feel the same way about the Notting Hill carnival - the theme is the same: all the above and today could be a lovely day if people had consideration for others. Instead the great British public take it way too far because they can’t handle their drink.

Whats the stat about the multiple of women who will suffer DV when England lose a match? That’s not to say that if a team win there’s no DV, just less. This country has a mega problem with booze.

Each of these events are only one day, this has been going on since Tuesday!

I bet the A&E departments locally are seeing/ will see a sharp uptick in DV events tonight.

This. Football is an abhorrent game which causes so many issues. A few overpaid prats running around a field kicking a ball around causes vandalism, hooliganism and misery for thousands of people. It’s even worse when a man’s team loses as the wife or girlfriend bears the brunt of it.

@ChangingplaceSo whet are you doing on this thread? Knowing nothing surely means you have no opinions? Jog on.

WTF!!

has this really happened? If so, please leave this abusive dickhead as soon as you can 💐

Are you seriously saying that people have been roaming the streets drunk, shouting, and piddling randomly since Tuesday evening? So over 120 hours? Really?
They haven’t been home, been to work, seen family?

I find that a little.. surprising!

Do you live in the area?

I do - it happened on Tuesday until 3am, people in AFC shirts in pubs on Wednesday lunchtime, horns until 2am Weds night. I don’t remember Thursday as I’m face deep in baby sleep trenches. Friday, a hot day - again, red shirts everywhere spilling out of pubs. I didn’t leave the house yesterday. Today, The Alwyne Castle was heaving at 11.30am…constant helicopters above us today since about 5pm

It’s been constant - even Trullo found time to paint its significant facade red on, I think, Thursday. It’s non stop “party” atmosphere around here

It’s one day and it hasn’t happened for 20 years

Luckily DD has come down to stay with us in South London over the bank holiday so she is getting a bit of respite!

Agreed that it’s quite funny to see all these blokes taking credit for something actually achieved by a team of elite athletes that they probably haven’t even met!

There was literally 0 mention of not using bins in the OP.

Also not using bins isnt an arsenal fan thing, its an arsehole thing, contrary to popular belief, they arent the same thing 😂

Read the thread. It’s not one day. And THE DAY won’t be until next Sunday when a million people are expected for the trophy parade

No love, they probably went home in the early hours of the morning and slept off the hangovers, ready to start it all again the next evening. Yes, this is really happening. Ask local residents.

Unless you’ve name-changed just for this thread, just want to mention I don’t think it’s wise to give out your road name on a public forum.

No, I don’t live in the area, that’s why I was asking you confirm it was actually a 120+ hour thing.

I did, however, say that I have lived in areas with annoying “events” creating noise, mess, drinking, and general disruption.

Oooooh, no. I don’t think you were sincerely asking that at all!

No, it’s not just noise. It’s rubbish everywhere, streets being blocked by aggressive drunk men and just terrible behaviour. Went for a short after dinner walk earlier, to cool off (house is very hot) and there were so many drunks peeing in full sight of everyone - they just don’t care.

Thanks, ‘ love’.

The CoL crisis must have passed everyone by, in that area!
Who on earth has the money to drink, hour after hour for days on end… no work to go to, no family to be bothered with?
It’s a different world.

Really? What do you think I was asking, then?

Just to clarify, they have not won the champions league, they’ve won the premier league

BUT

they are in the final of the champions league and have never won it before I don’t think, so buckle up because if they win that, this is going to be ongoing!!

It’s a big deal to football folk

We drove up Blackstock road earlier and ran the gauntlet of fans in the street blocking the cars and buses, banging on the car window, hollering, flag-waving etc. Not fun although I guess it would have been bracing if you were a fan.

We also saw about six police vans on their way somewhere, so I'm guessing it wasn't all peaceful...
