Thread: ooooh, well done Arsene

    Keown's reaction was hilarious, dancing past Van Nistelrooy and 'accidentally' lapped him with an outstretched arm

    That was, without question, the most absurd reaction to a run of the mill 'brawl' in the history of football. I went to work on the Monday and was set upon by outraged individuals the minute I walked in, claiming their children were terrified by what they had witnessed. One woman was screaming at me and frothing at the mouth.

    All I said was that if your children are scared by that then they are ****ed for life and should stick to watching tennis.

    Ah yes - we were so terrified by that "tunnel" thing we went out and scored after 8 minutes. In fact, it was the petrified Vieira who scored. We were two-one up at half time, when fortunately Arsene must have reminded the team that they were actually ****ting themselves and could they do the decent thing and throw the game. That defeat was ALL about the tunnel and nothing to do with that useless **** Almunia (Peter - this is the bit where you should be extremely ashamed of yourself)

    I meant during the row. Vieira clearly sh*t himself. You know, because you've seen the footage.

    Ah, I know what you mean. Just sick of United fans continually going on about that game and referencing that ****ing incident and ignoring what actually followed on the pitch.

    Still - that season turned out all right in the end for Patrick

    Quite the day, that was.

    There is this rose-tinted view of those days which reflects poorly on everything that came after, as if Bergkamp never displaced a pass, Henry never missed a chance, Vieira ate opposition midfielders and spat the remains into the referee's face... and we never, ever lost a game. I like to remember that we were flawed. It's fairer to those players and to our current players.

    Indeed - remember Adams and Bould never gave away free kicks either

    Dixon never missed a tackle...

    Btw, I suppose I should have written 'misplaced a pass'; I don't quite know how one would 'displace' a pass. Send it into exile without a passort, something like that.

    I'm sure Bergkamp could do that if he wanted to

    Some good Arsenal pelanties among those
    Other clubs never came into my thoughts once I knew Arsenal wanted to sign me.

    Tel's posing, sulking and bullying of JAR; Dennis's frustrating inconsistency; Lehmann's insanity and tendency to put pressure on his own defence by reacting to every provocation; Kolo Toure not *actually* being terribly good at defending sometimes; Getting bullied out of crucial games by United, Leeds, Bolton, etc.
