Best moments of the drought

In no particular order:

The miracle of not doing a Portsmouth or Leeds

Walking into the Emirates for the first time in 2006 and being in awe while thinking how there was just no other stadium in the world like it.

That exquisite Carlos Vela chip in the title decider at Old Trafford that sealed the title and won him the golden boot for the season.

The moving moment when Arsenal legend Adebayor threw his shirt to the Arsenal fans at the end of the game at Man City as a token of his gratitude to the club and fans for what they did for his career.

The sheer genius of Wenger and the unprecedented success of Project Youth. Take that Ashley Cole, how does it feel to have won fuck all since you left?

Bendtner’s cool finish late on in the Nou Camp that put us into the next round of the CL and saw us go on to win the competition. Again!

The late equaliser against Chelsea that meant it was 10 games out of 10 where Mourinho had failed to beat Wenger. Will he ever do it?

Coming back from 4-0 down at St James' Park

The stance we took over Nasri, Fabregas, RvP etc. I loved it when Wenger laughed off Barcelona's futile efforts and when he told Ferguson to FUCK OFF after he had put in a bid for RvP.

The club announcing a 6% decrease in ticket prices as Arsenal show their class and integrity once again by taking a stance against the dizzying prices of modern football.

Wenger publically coming out and saying there is no fucking way he’d ever let a mercenary like Flamini come back to the club after the way he chose to walk out.

Almunia becoming the first goalkeeper to win European Footballer of the Year.

Not that I wish to understate Mr Almunia's wonderful achievement, but Lev Yashin was European Footballer of the Year too.

Most of mine have been mentioned already on the thread, so will add one I have not yet seen anywhere ; the 4-1 win AET at WHL in the league cup.

Playing the last few minutes at Spurs in front of 20,000 empty seats was just delicious.

Inspired by Clash...

The moment when financial fair play kicked in, and we cleaned up all the domestic trophies whilst Chelsea and Man City slumped down to mid-table and teetered on the verge of administration. It was worth the wait!

I think this video sums it up nicely.

3-0 v. City, 3-1 v. Chelsea and this year's 1-0 in Dortmund for me.
