Lowest moment as a Gooner ?

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.

Every time we lose is a massive low for me.

The most (memorable?):

Wrexham (I don't remember it as such, just endured years of "What happens when you put an Arsenal shirt in a washing machine? Wrexham. hahaha")
Spurs - 1991 Wembley
Nayim :cry:
The 6 - 1 at Old Trafford in 2000
FA Cup final in 2001 (Owen, *word censored*)
Champions League final vs Barca
Champions League qtr final vs Chelsea 2004
Champions League semi vs Man Utd last season

Losing on pens to those fucking turk bastards in the 2000 UEFA Cup final....the whole day was geared in my opinion to make sure those tossers won the cup...after all....did anyone want to see Copenhagen smashed or raised to the ground if we had won it?......

Good call ! Devastating !!!!!!!!!


I was so confident I gave my ticket to a mate and awaited the Final as a formality. Absolutely knocked out when the result came through.

Fully expected us to get our revenge on those Leeds Bastards in the final .......!!!!!!!!........ :? ........ :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

I was at a two day meeting in Newcastle and had a massive punch up in the hotel bar after the match. I am such a bad loser and three scouse twats decided to try and wind me up. Needless to say i bit and got kicked out of the hotel. :evil: :evil:
I did manage to take out one of thems two front teeth before i left, so not all bad. :barscarf: :barscarf:

Pretty much the same as you, I did'nt bother going and concentrated on getting the programmes I had missing from that season so I could get the cup final ticket vouchers from the back page :roll: The result had a devastating, lasting effect on me, don't think I've ever been optimistic since :lol: :lol:

Nayim was the first one I can recall being really really down about. Especially after the high of Copenhagen 94 & as it was the last kick of the game, gutting. Was a bit too young to really recall Wembley 91.

More recently the 6-1 to manure, getting dumped out of the CL by the chavs, 4-4 against the spuds (worse than the 5-1) and then this depressing 3 minutes brings back all the horror of last May; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cI0TdF9CIEQ

:( Thankfully the low moments have been outweighed by the great moments though...

Games I was at..
Loosing to the **** in semi final at Wembley, I remember walking away from ground listning to them sing and it hurt sooo much.

CL Final as soon as we went down to 10 men I knew we would loose but with 15 mins to go I started to belive we may do it. I so so want us to win the CL just once please.

Draw at Bolton that handed league to Utd.

i was at that game, and so down in the dumps was i, i sat in my seat for 15 mins after the final whistle, trying to take in what had happened. seen arsenal lose games ive been at, but nothing topped that nite. as for watching on tv, it has 2 be the 2001 cup final, which i was watching at 2am in an irish pub in sydney. how that game was lost is still beyond me, well at least we knoe how man utd fans felt after the 2005 cup final, after we stole the cup from them :D
