Funniest / unusual Arsenal Goals

Post by Bendtners Drinking Buddy »

1 For and 1 against

For - Henry off his Knee against Fulham (h) running in and just bounced off him! Close second was Alex Song in the 6-3, he just slapped it in with his hand im sure of it !!

Against - Lauren v Man City, right foot curl around Lehmann! Very early in the game, just burst out laughing - at a time where you knew we'd pull it back, and we did - 2-1!

Thoughts?

Against.... I can only think off, instantly, Lee Dixon's own goal at Highbury, chipped it over Seaman.... Was it against Coventry? My memory is getting worse... :cry:

That should have been a foul, Sinclair(if I remember correctly) clearly pushed Lauren. Bastard! :evil:

Probably true, but maybe Ljungberg should have pushed him in the back everytime he went forward, it was a lovely finish haha!

Talking of Platty, was anyone on here at Highbury the night Kevin Cambell ran through the Villa keeper and Platty had to go in goal wearing one of Spunky's spare shirts.
The shit Platty got off us that night was incredible. I can clearly remember singing: 'You'll never play for Arsenal!!!'
Oh how things change :shock:

Another one, Baptista away at the Spuds in the CC, lovely slice from a corner into his own goal !!!

Funny old player that one, we should have just told him he was playing at Anfield every match!
