I've had to go with Barcelona this year even if we did go onto lose the tie, the celebrations when we banged in the winner were insane.

was the man u game in 2007 the one where henry scored a header at the end from an eboue cross. I f#cking loved that win for some reason as it was pretty insignificant (other than we beat man u)

was it really that long ago?

although i voted spurs game.

For me, home win against manure in 2008, when it was pissing down constantly and when Nasri scored twice. What a game that was.

Brazil vs Argentina 3-0 Kaka scored the best individual goal seen at the grove. Other than that vs Barca 2-2.

Barca '11 & Tiny Totts '09 for me. Mayhem in the stands at both.

A couple of other games I liked beating Cardiff 4-0 in the FA cup, Eduardo getting 2 goals. Arsenal beating Hull from being 1-0 down later that year in the cup was good as well.

Another not so obvious enjoyable one for me; 4-2 vs Bolton, January 2010

I'm obviously biased to what I remember more vividly - i.e. more recent games - but I don't recall being as nervous, excited, and ecstatic as I was watching the Barca game. RVP's first was sick, and when Arshavin curled that beautiful second goal in... dreamland.

:barscarf: One of those rare moments in recent times that make you think this team could do it, with the right improvements.

2-2 versus Barcelona.

Two down at half time and Percy here puts £20 at 15-1 on a 2-2 draw!

Cha ching!

Great comeback and a mental atmosphere right next to the wiaters who had made the trip over.

It was 0-0 at half time wasn't it?

Chelsea 3-1. Best thing for me was being with my 9 year boy and watching him get into the singing, waving his scarf and really getting into it. Its games like that which make a young boy love Arsenal and remain faithful for life.

Was it?

I am sure we were a couple down as Mutley bet on 4 nil as he thought they would get two more!
