Sorry for all these strange watching-Arsenal threads, but I'm in a lot of new places with little information.

Anyways, I'm going to be in Heathrow on a layover for almost the exact duration of the Fulham match this Sunday. We arrive in at 1130 and have a layover through 215. This might be the most frustrating location possible, as I'm in London (but not really), and cannot attend the match, while I will have just vacated Jerusalem, where I could easily have watched the game at a bar.

Now, what can I do to keep tabs on the game at the airport? It's not on British tv according to the Arsenal website, so I guess I'm out of luck? If I buy a cheap radio will I be able to listen to the game? What frequency? Thanks

Sorry to get to this late. But for future reference--most Arsenal games I believe are on Capitol Gold FM which you can pick up at the airport. If the game happens to be on TV, you can try some of the restaurants, or if you have airline status, the airport lounge. I watched the 'punch up' Arsenal-Man Utd match at Heathrow in the lounge and almost got in a fight after horseface missed the penalty.

That said, it was the exception that I got to see a game at the airport. Generally it is pretty tough.

Radio 5 Live (909/693 MW) is probably the best sports station, but everyone seems to hate Arsenal at the moment and they aren't the featured match too often.
