Please don't.  They're pretty much all shitty tourist traps in the locations you've identified.
You'd be better off getting off at Angel and walking up Upper Street.  There are some really nice boozers along there especially if you're happy to get off the main drag (Upper street).  The end of Upper Street is Highbury & Islington tube which means you're almost at the ground.

your probably right mate,
 but i am a tourist, i will be there with me son, and find it more interesting in the popular area's, seeing this and that, not just a few back streets of London, i'm not even looking for special beer pubs either as i drink Guiness and the lad drinks Cider,

could change are plans though you never know we are free and easy thelma and louising it tomorow, including the throwing of the cliff bit if we lose

I'm a Finsbury Park resident, and there's plenty of pubs around here near the stadium. Avoid the Worlds End (Arsenal Pub) but the Faltering Fullback is a good spot, as is (if you're willing to walk up Stroud Green Road) the Stapleton for a decent beer and some grub.

Otherwise, as mentioned, Upper Street near Angel/Islington has plenty of bars.

The garden Bar near Highbury and Islington Tube is worth a look. My favourite pubs are around Kentish Town, not that far from the Emirates, but a bit of a mission to get to / from on a match day.
