gunner's greatest moments

If you think thats worth arguing about fine!

Some things you can quantify, others you can't!

It is an arguement for arguements sake as who is to say your favourite is better than mine or vice versa!

Like I said to say "mine is better than yours" is very playground like!

Gus

Do you think our move to the Emirates Stadium is in our top 10 of greatest moments ever?

Certainly not no!

But if another person says to them it is, who am I to argue their opinion is wrong?

Agreed.

It doesn't matter whether something is quantifiable or not. Can you quantify how many times Henry/Bergkamp made space for others. Where's opta on that one?

But it's worth the craic to talk and/or argue about something that's worth talking/arguing about - great things that happened on the pitch, things that live longer than a picture.

I find plenty of pointless ill-informed arguments on here but leave them alone because it is those peoples' choice to take part in said arguments.

However, as I said, I liked your post and one man's whatever is another man's whatever (can't remember now!)

Just like the appointment of AW, it's surely got to go down as one of the most important, but greatest??? - how do you compare events on the pitch to those off it

Quite right...Most important. But who, in their most drunken, emotional recollections looks back on the move to a new stadium and thinks back on where they were, who they were with, what they felt, who they celebrated with. Something that sticks in your gut and separates you from "passing interest".

Im wondering whether the greatest ever moment will be the whole '50 gunners greatest moments'

on a more serious note, i certainly feel gus has a very valid point dependent on age/generation/memory etc. of great moment. For example, being that i was born in 1983 and thus a fledgling gooner, at the time 26/05/89 meant little to me, but when watching reruns, old videos, or even being at the gala dinner, you get a sense of a tremendous achievement, one that any fan who went to the game would cherish - i was certainly sitting there wishing i could have been at that game when mickey strolled thru liverpool's own half and calmly lofting the ball over ol'matchfixer.
Therefore, id suggest thomas' goal has to be at least one of the top three MOMENTS.....

thats another thing that baffles me - it's about moments, which makes going the season unbeaten not really a moment if we are defining moments as something that is over a short(ish) period of time, but more one of the greatest feats possibly ever achieved. Consequently, moving to Ashburton, like galasso pointed out is not a moment in time u look back on, as say winning a league on someone else's turf, or watching henry/wright break numerous goalscoring records. I dont think many arsenal fans look fondly back at leaving highbury, more in a manner of knowing it is how we had to move forward, and now hopefully we can make it our home.

nearly finished here... so for me, great moments that stick out mainly revolve around the 90s-now, such as adams' semi-final header against the spudz, when i was a wee lad walking along the cornish cliffs with a radio going ape shit at sheep, or his goal against everton aptly assisted by bould, inter 5-1, even pipping the spudz to forth on the final game at highbury(not that this was a greatest ever moment, more to do with pissing the scum off), winning the league at old trafford/shite hart lane, parma 1-0.... i guess the list goes on depending on what moment u remember more fondly that the others .

Im keeping my fingers crossed that buying cygan will be our greatest moment!!

Classic line Tom! Don't mind if I borrow it, do you?

I would put every moment you and Gus mentioned above moving...I feel strongly about the move and what we now have. Still, mine is no doubt a minority position.

borrow it all u like!!

however i wasnt actually saying it was one of our greatest ever moments, more a move that was inevitable - like u, if im correct, id prefer to see moments on the pitch in the top 50
