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.

I'm not saying I don't think Ade is a crunt, but wish Thierry was celebrating this in front of gooners with the Spurs boys in the background.
Great graphic! Had a bit of time on my hands so I looked up how we stood in comparison on the 21st December in each of those seasons:
2010-11 5pts ahead
2009-10 2pts ahead (1 game in hand)
2008-09 11pts ahead
2007-08 22pts ahead
2006-07 2pts ahead 2005-06 5pts behind (1 game in hand)
2004-05 13pts ahead
2003-04 21pts ahead (1 game extra)
2002-03 8pts ahead
2001-02 3pts ahead
2000-01 10pts ahead
1999-00 9pts ahead (1 game extra)
1998-99 6pts ahead
1997-98 11pts ahead (1 game in hand)
1996-97 11pts ahead 1995-96 2pts behind
So we have come back from behind at this stage of the season twice on our run of St Totteringham's days although not from this bad of a situation. Betfair has us at around 33%-44% to pull it off again this year.

It's absolutely not. Yes, they are different however, the principle is exactly the same that someone scored and ran the whole length of the pitch to celebrate in front of the opposition supporters.
I'm not in any way condoning Ade, but to priase Thierry for something most of us would go mental at if Van der Vaart scored against us at the Lane is massively hypocritical.

If you heard TH14 actually "Explain" how and why he came to be at that end of the groound - you would know better...and so - do a little research first bro before 'Judging'.
