I love to see the footage of McMahon strutting around yelling one minute. Barnes' sly handshake as if they had already won the double. Then the great moment. Aldridge pushing away O'Leary. That was an Arsenal team.

I was sixteen years old and it was the best footballing moment of my life. We had led the league for so long that year but Liverpool put in a great run since Hillsborough.

Watching that back pass now, it just seems plain wrong that John Lukic was allowed to pick it up !donaldo wrote:And what about Mickey Thomas back pass after he scored.Heart attack time or what?Boomer wrote:And also to Bouldy for the first half miss and to Thomas for fluffing the similar and easier chance!JMascis666 wrote:A special thanks to Kevin Richardson for creating the injury time we scored in !
The win wouldn't have been much fun that way!
i've got cold shivers - CLASS!!!Boomer wrote:Arsenal come streaming forward now in surely what will be their last
attack. A good ball by Dixon ... finding Smith, for Thomas charging
through the midfield..... Thomas, it's up for grabs NOWWWW THOMASSSSSS"
Still bring a tingle down my spine just reading that!

Happy St. Michael's Day
I was seven and remember all the action, all the build up on the news and stuff. My dad - a chavsea- fan went mental when Thomas scored, shouting 'take that, you scouse bastards!' and then carried me aroud the room. My mum came in and told him to put me down and went back to the kitchen as if nothing had happened.

Reading some of the posts on this thread makes me feel old.
Without a shadow of doubt the greatest game i ever went to.
Remember it took about 6/7 hours by road, traffic was a nightmare on a Friday night.
After the game quite a few ended up in a boozer in Liverpool, and no they didn't take it well.
Half of us went back to London after a drink (straight to Highbury) the other half headed to Glasgow where England were playing Scotland.
Top top couple of days.

I was a devilishly handsome 21 yr old pup at the time in the first spring in youth.
Just remember thinking throughout the night that we'd do it - that's what George Graham instilled in the players and fans alike. He predicted 2-0, that was good enough for me to 'lump on' with the bookies.
Nothing Arsenal related will ever come close to it again for me, a once in a lifetime.

That Georgie Graham's boys were to play
They were gonna go and win in style
Playing with guts and guile

So let me show you how it was done
The ball was knocked long to Smudger Smith
All the way from Lee Dixon
So sit back and watch the show

It was wonderful to see it
It was certainly a thrill
To see Mickey Thomas charging thru the middle
To make it 2-0 to us
To make it 2-0!!!!!

That the Scousers were singing their song
But Thomas didnt wanna singing along
So let me introduce to you
