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.

With 6 games to go, they were 1 point from safety. We needed at least 7, and had to go to man city, chelsea and man united, theres no comparison, we needed a miracle. Say what you want, but spend 3 minutes and say this isnt a miracle http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00KfPB20V_k
This is why we support shit teams, cos sometimes just staying up feels better than winning an fa cup and we're so fucking proud. It wasnt last day but the results we needed put west brom in the shade, mint fucking video, and for an arsenal link, vito went mental at full time, he loved it, the best ever escape, no one will do this, not with 3 of 6 games v top teams away and 7 points to make up, it doesnt happen
Made even more of a 'fairytale' by fact that guy who scored many vital goals was on loan at a championship side for majority of season.

ditto.
im pleased to see them stay up - if only to piss off newcastle LOL.
great jobs done by Pulis and Poyet this year - which just shows, if you are organized and work hard, you can steal results from anybody in this league.
Poyet did a nice job at brighton too i think. one to watch.
