Did anyone else go to that game? I remember when it was 3-1 to Boro but when we came back from it and scored our fifth, I couldn't believe it man! Sat in the North Bank Lower for that one, quality legend.

I went to the 7-0 as well mate lol lmao where was you sit? I was in The Clock End for that one lol.

I also went to the 4-0 or 4-1 against enm as well where bentley scored North Bank Upper for that one, also a couple more against boro we usually always go against them. We went to 1-1 vs Boro as well last season fuck it was shit but it was my first game at AG lol.

THAT WAS THE MATCH IN WHICH WE EQUALLED FOREST'S 42 GAME UNBEATEN RUN, IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN. 8) I WAS ALSO AT THE MATCH AND IT IS DEFINATELY ONE OF THE MOST EXCITING I'VE BEEN TO IN MY NEAR 40 YEARS OF FOLLOWING THE GUNNERS. :D :D 8)

AT 3-1 DOWN IT LOOKED CURTAINS BUT DB10 SCORED ALMOST STRAIGHT AFTERWARDS, THEN BOBBY AND 'CRY-BABY' REYES WRAPPED IT UP. 8)

I ALSO REMEMBER SEEING ALVIN MARTIN - WHO WAS THERE WORKING FOR RADIO - AFTER THE GAME AND SAYING HELLO TO HIM. 8) :lol: :wink:

Yep, was there, I thought our run was over for a few minutes but it was one of the great turnarounds I've seen and easy in the end.

I was in the West Stand almost next to the Boro fans that day and remember thinkin we were goin to go in 1-0 up and I'd hardly retaken my seat and we were 3-1 down WTF :shock: and the away end was goin nuts, cue one of the best displays of attackin football I've ever witnessed and the whole place singin, the old favourites you're not singin anymore at 4-3 and then cheerio at full volume as the travelling support started filtering out as the fifth one went in - awesome 8) :lol:

I was there. It was the first time Mrs Spudmasher ever went to a game. Great day out and my account of it made it into a recent issue of the mag.

I was there, opening day of the season wasn't it?? Fat Eddie Murphy had his usual good game against us but we were great in the 2nd half and could have scored 10 quite easily.

First arsenal goal i saw was against boro at home, first game of the season, about 1995 i think, ian wright header after we were 1-0 down to a barmby goal! Unmemorable game but always holds a place in my heart as the first arsenal goal I saw! It was about my 10th match but all the previous ones were 0-0 or 0-1...

Also the 7-0 a couple of years back was the only home match i missed that season... :evil:
