What fantastic Arsenal achievements have you witnessed in person?

I'll start off with...

- David O'Leary breaking the Arsenal appearance record vs Norwich in the early 90s.
- Henry scores 4 vs Leeds at Highbury.
- Milan 0 - 2 Arsenal in the San Siro
- Roma 1 - 0 Arsenal (Arsena win on pens.

Over to you chaps....

Actually none

Cheers Arsene.

The closest I can come to was the 3-2 game in 99 at the Bridge? Kanu hat trick. My first game.

Nothing of real importance. Saw a few games in the 49 run though.

Liverpool home 4-2, Good Friday in the invincibles season, 2-1 down at half-time having gone out of the FA Cup and Champions League in the week and we were sensational in that second half, one of the best we've had under AW

That was my first ever visit to Highbury - me and my mates went up there as they were showing it on the big screen. I was 12, it was absolutely hammering down but the north bank was packed.

2-0 down at half time, absolutely soaked, but then the second half came and we won it 3-2 - that day was absolutely magical

Was just gonna say are we on about the same game? But fair enough. Didn't know they were showing it at Highbury.

"Kanu believe it!!!!!!"

Semi Finals v Scum , 93 and 2001
Fa Cup Finals in 1993 and 98
2-2 away at West Ham when Henry hit this:

2-1 v Villa when Pires did this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TlBaeUjO1g

1-1 v Lazio in Rome when Grimandi hit that Serbian bloke for making racist comments to Vieira.

More miserably, semi final v Scum in 91 and Carling Cup Final 2011.

The best i've been to is Arsenal 4-0 Everton, title clincher 1998.

No where near as good but still memorable was
- Man Utd 0-2 Arsenal FA cup Quarter final 2003
- Arsenal 2-1 Sp*d FA cup semi final 2001.

Also Arsenal 4-2 Southampton in 1995/96 I realised what a talent bergkamp was,
And the last game of that season Arsenal 2-1 Bolton when bergkmp fired us into europe with yet another wonder strike.
