While I fully agree we should go all out to win this trophy I'll never agree with discounting any trophy - the ECWC we won against Parma in particular.Nos89 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 21, 2019 9:23 pmSorry somehow missed this thread otherwise I would've put it here to begin with.
When I mean technically we haven't won a European trophy I mean one of the two that are still continuing. UEFA no longer count the fairs cup in their records of teams that have won a European trophy.
Please can we stop all this bollocks talk about using this competition as a way of getting back into the Champions League?
Arsenal need to win this trophy because;
1) It's always good to win a trophy
2) We've got a shocking record in European competition given the club's status and history
3) The only two European competitions (trophies) we have won, no longer exist, given us a technical ZERO European trophies won. (Yes, I know the Fairs Cup was a forerunner to the UEFA Cup, which is now the Europa League)
4) Its the only competition we are left in that we can still win.
Keep the eyes on the prize

That final was George Graham at his tactical best and a gritty professional team performance to be proud of against a superior team in Parma that had Brolin, Zola, Asprilla, Minotti, Di Chiara and Crippa all (or most) arguably at their peak. Literally no one in the media thought we could beat them especially without Wrighty.
That final is still one of my favourite Arsenal memories.

It was our success that highlighted many of the Parma players who went on to play in the PL. We should have bought Zola
The semi final really brought the tart that is Ginola to the fore - the semi in Paris is still one of the best games / atmospheres I have experienced and the birth of '1 - 0 to the Arsenal' at half time was brilliant.
The quarter final in the Stadio delle alpi against Torino was one of the worst games I have ever experienced. The ground was impressive but the Torino fans were so far away you could barely see them let alone hear them. No goals and a twat of a ref who blowed up everytime Smudge jumped against their centre back.

I went to Torino, and agree it was a dull as ditchwater match, with a mate and after a night there we went down by train to Genoa for a few days which was lovely.
Was also there in Paris for the birth of 1-0 to the Arsenal and a top away day that was.
Copenhagen was awesome, loved it, defended as only Arsenal could ( at the time ) victory through adversary as is our way, no Wrighty, no Faxe, and Seaman with pain killing injections.
Even the ugly women in Copenhagen were beautiful
I wasn't discounting any trophy that we won. I was merely making the point in a round about way, it's been a long time since we won a European trophy, and that we haven't won enough of them.DB10GOONER wrote: ↑Fri Mar 22, 2019 7:08 amWhile I fully agree we should go all out to win this trophy I'll never agree with discounting any trophy - the ECWC we won against Parma in particular.Nos89 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 21, 2019 9:23 pmSorry somehow missed this thread otherwise I would've put it here to begin with.

That's true passion and dedication. Way before my time but can see it was a different buzz travelling to away games back in the days.Herd wrote: ↑Mon Mar 25, 2019 6:00 pmI love euro away days /weeks and I've been doing them since the 70's , Im going to Napoli if I can .
Did Hadjuk Split as my first on my own ,a cheap holiday with Yugo tours for 70 quid for a week.
My sister worked for BA so I got a lot of cheap flights but went with the travel club to Leipzig and Magdeburg by coach as they only let 50 in during cold war days ,and many many trips by Transalpino with the lads including Turin to see us beat Juve .
A lot of our go everywhere lot who I know well actually like the Europa as it takes them places they have never been to !
