Should I stay or should I go?

Anyone here ever been to North London derby?
Through work, I have just been given the chance to experience this on Sunday with the added benefit of corporate hospitality.
My initial reaction is no thank you as I have heard that the atmosphere in these games is crap, coupled with the fact that West Ham / Spurs is a better derby and I have not missed one in 25 years.
Thoughts?

Gooners v Spurs the same as the auld firm?
Give me a fucking break you deluded cunts.
I totally agree, i would say that us / Spurs is a bigger game for the spuds than the NLD!

Definitely go
Only other derby I've been to is the auld firm at ibrox. Some gooners reckon this game is the nearest you'd get to Rangers v Celtic.
I would anyway
Some Gooners are ignorant cunts who have never been to West Ham v Millwall.

Been to quite a few of these but all in the 70's.
There was atmosphere then. Won't be anything like that now.
An uncomfortable fact nowadays is that there would be some West Ham on the North Bank at Highbury helping Tottenham to try taking the stand. I remember one of them wearing his West Ham scarf at the front of the Spurs mob fighting Arsenal.
Seems bizarre these days.

Should be a decent game in a good stadium with food & drink laid on at no cost
Alternatively you could stay home & iron your blouse for Monday morning

Had to suffer this a good few years ago . Explained to my tyrannical small bloke boss at the time that it would be a better idea to send one of my colleague yid supporting introducers to it to incentivise them to get me appointments, but to no avail. fill yer boots with booze though.

I think we will finish 5 or 6 places above spuds and maybe just below Arsenal!
I would have been disappointed with anything above 15th lol!

MikeGo! It won't make you any "less West Ham", plus you'll get the chance to run your eye over two of our opponents.
We won't be challenging Arsenal, but as for the Lillywhites...

Obviously you should go. They’re usually cracking games as well.

Corporate hospitality is all about drinking as much free booze as you can throw down your neck.
Watching the football is a distant second.

If its free, no hassle for yourself getting there and you've got nothing better to do then why not?
At least you won't be sitting with the great unwashed and you get the chance to see one set of fans upset!
