This thread will no doubt get lost amongst all the skriking and hysterical ranting this weekend but has anyone any sensible ideas for a decent pub near the ground?
I am staying near King’s Cross, so somewhere between there and Highbury would obviously be best. No prizes for any smart arse who suggests the Flying Scotsman ;)
I’m sure some of our London based Latics can help
Not an answer to your question unfortunately Griff, but from Euston station, which is the best underground station to go to to get to the Emirates?
Piccadilly line from kings cross, then Arsenal station – depending on which pub you’re going in.
Hence the original question ;)
There’s a dearth of good pubs in the Kings Cross area, though the Fellow on York Way does a good pint of St Austell Tribute, and the Kings Cross Social Club on Kings Cross Road does Meantime lager from Greenwich. Both are good, if fairly pricey, for food,
Relatively near to the ground, the London-based Latics have always favoured the Faltering Full Back. It does great, cheap Thai food. and is a big pub with the friendliest (okay, nice Nick Hornby-ish middle class) Arsenal supporters. It’s got good memories for us, as it’s where we noisily celebrated the Carling Cup semifinal result.
I’m sure you’ll get other suggestions. Even the ultra-partisan Arsenal pubs near Finsbury Park station are friendly enough, in my experience. Must remember to sneak in for the lucky pre-match whisky in that Irish pub on the road down to the ground.
Thanks Martin.
Figeuora’s pub sounds like a good starting point especially if they do Thai food as well ;)

Ask for the cream of sum yunghai !! ;)
I heard the Flying Scotsman is no more, boarded up a while back is what I heard.
Heeley is going to be down there all day if you want to meet up with him, I’ll probably give you a bell around 5ish to see if you have found anywhere decent, as I expect to be landing around then.
FA Cup Winners 2013, sounds good that
Rumours of the Scotsman’s demise are exaggerated. If anything it looks like it’s been tarted up a little lately. And don’t forget, it always looks boarded-up. They aren’t allowed to advertise their wares.
Cheers J. I’ll be out of the office and ready to drink around 5.30 myself. I’ll keep in touch from late afternoon.
Scotsman was definitely open 5 weeks ago cos I was in there. ;)
I’m aiming to get to the Faltering Full Back for 5.30 so let me know if you’re planning to be there Griff. You’ll recognise me by my Latics hat/shaved head and dodgy Movember tache!
Martin – are you coming on Tuesday?
Aye, couldn’t make West Ham because it was my boy’s birthday party (something like the third year out of four it’s clashed with a London game), but I’ll definitely be in the Fullback for 7 on Tuesday.

Griff I have seen you in the pub. You can’t drink fr shit griff.. You are a lightweight :D
Jimmy – you are all that is bad about the typical message board dweller.
You lie, for some unknown reason about a stranger’s drinking capacity and you say you have seen me in a pub yet have not bothered to introduce yourself.
Lightweight, indeed ;)

I don’t see it as a lie, from what I have seen I can handle much more :D .. Why would I introduce myself? :)
