THE OLD GG v AW CHESTNUT

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

It was almost like a morgue.

People were so dreary coming out.

We got to the top of the ramp that heads down to the station and I started a chant. I just had to get a bit of spirit going. It was a strange feeling.
Who were you with, Augie and Sid :wink: :lol:

I'd have to agree with Hlebby on this one, i don't remember seeing anything but great joy and happiness after the game, both in the stadium and outside...
:coffeespit: :coffeespit: :coffeespit:

Just seen that and it was quality!! 8) :lol: :lol: :wink:
Haha, I was surrounded by thousands of Augie and Sid clones!

No, I was not, because if those two had been there, and their clones, it would have at least been a verbal tirade against all they perceive to be unjust.

The point I am making is it was silent.

Not at the time of the goal or the final whistle inside the stadium, but on the way out.

Perhaps people were drained of energy?

But I really sensed we all knew that we had got the consolation prizes.

In the new Sky Sports magazine there is a round table discussion about that season with Merson, Smith and Parlour. Smith says that at the start of the season they knew that Cups were winnable, but the league was not because they did not have the players.
Cheeky shower of fuckers. :evil: I can assure you I wasn't miserable then :wink:
I watched it in the pub that night, and the thing that sticks out in my mind, was I said to my mate as the corner was about to be taken, we will score, (I had actually backed Linighan for first goal :cry: )
There were 3 of us surrounded by utd, pool and totts, and I can still remember the look on A s***s fans face as we rolled about the floor in ecstasy. :barscarf:

I fail to see how anyone could have not had 2 great years in 1993 and 1994. Copenhagen is the greatest night of my life (better than Anfield even) Was just phenomenal. The Double cups were brilliant as well.

As I said the football didn't matter, we won something and I was happy!

It was just that after all the years of growing up watching Spurs win Cups and us not, then we had Graham who made really good side in 89, a great side in 91, then that side was broken up and we descended into Jensen, Hillier etc.

Nice to win the cups, I celebrated them, but they felt like hollow victories because the team was going backwards.

At least we were winning things and going backwards, now were just going backwards with fuck all to show for it
