The Emirates Stadium is so lacking in atmosphere that football fans have joked that when they moved stadiums, Arsenal replaced Highbury with The Library. This is, however, unlikely to be a major problem for The Boss, when he rolls in as part of a whistle stop European tour to promote his new album, 'Magic', regarded by British critics as the best thing he's done since the 80s. Most of the crowd won't really be in it for the new material, of course: they've been fans since the 'Born in the USA' days, and that's what they want to hear. Patriotic Americana is rather out of fashion at the moment in this country, for obvious reasons, but Springsteen's intelligent, driven blue-collar rock classics will serve as a reminder that there's more to his homeland than freedom fries.
