I was round my Sunderland supporting mates house, I remember laughing lots especially when the 3rd & 4th went in. Don't think I've ever seen a team get as badly dicked as we did and still win. A magical day, Monday morning was bliss with my gooner supporting manager he really appreciated it. Dont think he's been mentioned too much in the thread but JJ was quality that day
I couldn't get tickets but watched it at home with my brother. When we scored our first my son cried because of our celebrations - he was a baby then to be fair. Got told off by the wife so when we scored the second, third and fourth we raced upstairs to celebrate. Coming from a family of Arsenal fans, we loved it. Great times!
My father-in-law posted the highlights video on Facebook yesterday.
One of his friends has commented: "Just watched it. No dive from Henry - the bloke took his left leg out. I'm not saying he never dived - most strikers do at one time or another, but not this time."
Boring midtable Premiership football according to some under Curbs.
For myself thank you Curbs for enabling me to watch years of top class football at The Valley in my lifetime and glory in such performances as highlighted in this thread.
I don't expect to live long enough to see it again.

Your right , 4 - 2 v Arsenal away is pretty impressive , but its no checkatrade trophy!
Happy 18th anniversary one and all. Let's hope November 9th is going to become a happy anniversary in years to come as the date we won again at the Den and it sparked a winning streak there.
Feels like yesterday, had my eldest christened and then a big party at the valley.... all the players came back after and signed his lil shirt.... hes now a trappy 18 year old... where does time go !!
There's a few images from that game - and that video posted by @Stig in particular - that are seared on the memory.
Jensen's sublime goal. Brown's tackle. The directors showing Wright's howler three times in slow-mo, then cutting to a shot of Bob Wilson and David Seaman looking distraught.
But the bit I liked best was seeing Jonatan Johansson absolutely bullying Viera off the ball to set up Jensen. Man against boy.
Mr O and I had decided to do a little shopping trip to Brighton as we didn’t have Sky (our local CAFC supporting boozer was where we went for football then). We got in the car to come home as the game kicked off and stuck the radio on. After it sounded like we were being battered and the commentary was winding me right up Hubby turned the radio off. We got in, put our shopping away and said, ‘let’s go for a pint and find out the damage’. When we walked in the pub, ordered our pints of Pride and went to pay for them the barmaid said, ‘these are on the house’.
Totally confused I asked why. ’We only been the Gooners’ I couldn’t believe it. A great night was had :-D

I still get a massive grin on my boat when that fourth goes in.
And the Gooners start booing. Priceless.

"This is what makes football great, we all have our own opinions!"
- can't believe there's someone who avoids confrontation more than me!
