Yes, but did well in cups though, that's why we had a weakened side, because we had Sheffield Wednesday in the F.A. cup final on the following Saturday.
Wasn't the Spuds game in midweek? (my memory is going)

no. 1 is Perry Groves.... wrote:for me the following games stick in my memory:
-2 nil win against Juve in the champions league 2006
2-2 draw against Man City April 01. We went 2 nil up and threw it away if i remember right. My fisrt time on the North Bank and first night game at Highbury. Absolute quality - feet did not touch the ground much!
-3-1 loss against spurs on the last day of the season in May 93. I remember gg playing steve bould (i think) up front for the last 20 mins!! My first and only time in the clock end. Had to watch the y#ds celebrate afterwards and Teddy Sheringham i think it was threw his boots into the crowd (c#nt)!
-Several years earlier (i would guess 84); my first game at highbury, cannot remeber the date, score or team we played but i remember being in the junior gunners enclosure at the front of the west stand with my grandad and hearing the north bank singing charlie Nicholas name and thinking; yep this is for me!
As for the emirates, well i'm still waiting for a really magic moment (although i think a bit of time has to pass before games fall in this category), but the following sticks out:
-first visit (champions league qualifier in the first year) - it pissed it down and somehow i got lost! walking to the ground
-win against spurs in the cc semi.
-bendtners header coming off the bench aginst spurs for 2-1 win a year or so ago - went crazy he scored - broke my phone, lost my keys, took the skin off my shins on the seat in front of me etc etc
-going out of the CL against psv and henry thumping the ground - shit night!
A hollow victory for them, I can recall us playing a virtual celebrity 11 against them that day...

a young paul dickov scored if memory is right
Dickov was on Goals on Sunday last week. Came across as a decent enough guy with a sense of humour about his "failings".
