other than that, boro at home usually means 3 points, and some decent goals. memories of rocastle's dribble in '88, bergkamp's chip in the nineties, a superb pires volley in 2001-02 as well

Sadly I was at the 1-1, dire match, I think Anelka scored late on to earn the draw, I think this was the worst Arsenal match I've ever been at
Was this the game were we had a goal disallowed for offside, even though George Boatang was the one who touched the ball though. I think it was Adebayor who was 10 metres behind the play (no surprise), so it was obvious Adebayor was offside, but again, it was Boatang who touched the ball though making a tackle so the goal should have stood.
I remember as soon as it happened I knew both at the same time, it was a legitimate goal, but the ref would also disallow it.
This is why I have no sympathy for referees, because they so frequently get it wrong, even though you see the correct decision with your naked eye. I didnt even need the benefit of a replay (which confirmed Boatang got the touch).
I dont like reminiscing the 07-08 season. We should have won the league that year. I find that season more a missed opportunity than last year. It was that season, that was the beginning of Arsenal developing the bottlers tag.
