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.
Manure 04 - Utter devastation at the way it had happened, Riley ended that run, not Utd. Had already been hurt at the way we went out to Utd in the FA Cup the season before, ever since then we've been hard done by with those *word censored*, will still have the same hatred for them and thier plastic fans in 70 years.
Barce 06 - I don't know which one was worse, this one or the one above. We'd fought against all the odds to get to the final, with so many injuries, a true underdog's journey. To have it end in the final was heartbreaking, I know people will point to Eto'o's offside equaliser but our goal came from an Eboue dive, tit for tat. Probably my worst moment as a Gooner (I'm 18, my earliest memories of Arsenal are the late 90s, and didn't properly get into it until around 01.)
Liverpool 08 - Yet more devastation at the way we'd been robbed, truly heartbreaking. We fought so hard that night, when Theo made that run to set up the equaliser it's probably the wildest I've gone when we've scored, to have Babel dive for a penalty about two minutes later was pure evil after I thought we'd done it. Losing to Utd in the league not long after made it so much worse, 07/08 still haunts me.

Are any of you willing to admit that you wept like a baby when Arsenal have lost? and risk a kicking from a real hard bastard.
Well I am, I have on two occasions in my adult life cried when we have lost.
1. 1998/9 Prem lge final day loss
2. 2001 FA cup final.
1. Was too drunk to cry or so drunk didn't realise I cried
2.See above
Manure 04 was just anger and Beer again
2006 wasn't drunk just numb but still no tears but I came pretty close on Sunday night, I can't remember how I got home, all I remember was getting of the train and walking into a boozer and next thing I'm at home very drunk. Thank god my girls were asleep.
I don't think I could cry over football but that theory will get seriously tested if we ever meet the filth in a champs league final and we get beaten
League game at Elland Road 1999, lost 1-0 to a late goal, we still had a chance to win the league but in reality we knew it was gone.
Cup Finals 1978 and 1980, No harm to show emotion!!

I think you would be like myself and it would be pure anger and seing red. God knows what i would do if that happend.
I cried in 2006 because that was an amazing road to the final and with a full team we would of won easily I shed a slight tear on Sunday because my younger brother and sister were balling their eyes out beside me
Never have, never will. I just get angry, I really can't imagine anyone crying over football. Although I can understand those who have cried in remembrance of loved ones.

Because that was one of the few games that the only tears would have been from Dowd,Diaby,Rosicky and Squilacci after we had all done some serious physical violence on them.

there can be a lot of emotion invested into a cup run of league and it has to be vented out
