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.

Spot on. Reminds me of Spuds celebrating that fucking Nayim goal.
Truly pathetic state of affairs
Agree 100%. The only thing I can imagine that will be even more cringeworthy will be on the final day of the season watching the Sky cameras capture the AKB thronging masses jumping up and down at the Bowl as news filters through from the Etihad that City have beaten Southampton to secure the latest VT against our moneybags rivals from the South Coast. We're one rung up from that shower up the road celebrating what they thought was a Newcastle equaliser a couple of seasons back.....and I expect us to finally drop to those depths this season
What has this got to do with OUR invincibles not having their/our record equalled. You're hatred of Wenger and AKB's shouldn't cloud our achievements and the fact modern day footballers can't come close to it
Us celebrating our achievements is nothing what so ever like the scum celebrating another team beating Arsenal
We are cheering because a team we won't finish within 20 points of, lost a game. It's exactly what Spurs used to do when we lost a game and they were fucking floundering mid table.
Again not true at all. We are celebrating a team of wankers not getting anywhere near our beloved invincibles and their record, a record that may never be equalled. Fuck Much of modern day Arsenal but while those chav *word censored* get nowhere near Thierry, Bergkamp and the rest it's well worth celebrating
Nothing what so ever like sp*rs scum celebrating something that didn't involve them this involves us and our history
In which case I compare us to the Aston Villa fans I know who cheer when we get knocked out of the Champions League so they can still have that 'one up' on us dating back to 1982. Wonderful - above Spurs fans, but on a par with Villa

Coming from a man who still celebrates "The Great Abou" and his 3 or 4 "great games" that took place in the distant past

I usually agree with your opinions SteveO, but i think your sorely missing the point. Villa won the European cup, but so did Liverpool, united etc. What we did was unique, it was a feat that will never be matched in history. Imagine 49 times having to take the field, and get a result, with bad refereeing, bad luck, and sometimes underperofrming hindering you, and you dont lose. Its something that should always be celebrated, as it is a reminder of the greatest PL team there ever was.
And let's not forget that we should rightly have gone fifty games unbeaten. I'm still spitting feathers about that poxy referee. And the fact that he was a last minute replacement for Graham Poll. Ooh, I wonder if any strings were pulled?

Totally agree with you. I cannot see anything wrong in celebrating the last unbeaten record going each season.
I want our 2004 to remain unique forever. So much so that I'm not really sure I even want another Arsenal in the future to match it.

Don't start. Something about that game is going on my epitaph.

Indeed Ferdinand should have been sent off in the first half for blatant foul on Freddie clean through, and the granny shaggers dive.
Nice irony this year, in that we beat Leicester to reach Invincibles Day.
As for the comments last year, no, I don't "celebrate" this like a trophy, but it is somewhat of a relief when it becomes clear that our triumph can't be matched for at least another 18 months.
