First one I saw live was 02/03 at Highbury. Couldn't get a ticket so bought one from a Norweigan fella I would outside tubestation and offrered it to me for 60 quid...which is half of what the touts asked for of course.

Thierry made it worth every penny and we should have won the game 5-0 at least. If anybody got a copy of that game please let me know by the way...would love to watch it again

It would have been an early 90s game at THOF which finished goalless. The only memorable part about it was that I was in with the scum (my father's mate who took me supports the tiny totts).

2001 FA Cup semi final at OT, 1-0 down to a shite goal, Sol limping off in his last outing for the Spuds, and then Paddy and Bobby turning it round for 2-1 to see us through for Cardiff. First proper league derby was last season's 3-0 walkover at home. Been to all 6 league and cup derby game since. They;re special occasions, nothing will match the 3-1 win at the lane early this season, and few things are as bad as the 5-1 :S

I cant remember the year, but it was at highbury. one all draw, think we took the lead and they equalised with a klinsman penalty. Must have been an awful game because I hardly remember it.

My next was 2-0 and you fucked it up night, and then the 3 cc matches since

Malcolm Webster, now there's a name from the past. Wonder what happened to him. I sadly remember that game, think we were 3-0 down at half time if my memory's not playing tricks with me

First one for me was about Nov 72, at shite hart lane, we won 2-1

My one and only. 1996 at highbury 3-1, with us scoring two goals in the last couple of minutes. It was also the game that the dirty spuds scored from a throw in after we kicked the ball out so viera could get medical attention.

autumn 1986. george's first as manager. at highbury. about our 3rd or 4th home game of 86/87.

0-0 draw.

in the days when there was genuine debate about whether the spuds could be considered london's top team. that'll never happen again

have a memory of stewart robson playing - one of his last games before getting injured and being sold to west ham i think. we actually improved after steve williams got his place back due to robson's misfortune. happy days for me as this was my first full season watching the boys. and you always have great memories of such times. it's all so fresh and exciting. even 0-0 home draws!

1-1 at Highbury in 2006 when AW and the Jol went at eachother on the touchline. Was never able to get tickets for the NLD before that one.

You are wrong about Stewart Robson.He left to join West Ham for more money.He turned round and saiid he always wanted to play for West Ham as they were the team he supported as a boy.An early version of Cashley Cole.It makes me laugh to hear him on Arsenal TV because he turned his back on Arsenal.Anyway Steve Williams was better and he WAS a Gooner
