Well for me I'm going to choose the kids thrashing of the Wolves in the carling cup. It was a memorable performance for our "2nd" team" and Ali scored an amazing goal. A very close call with the 5-1 over Inter though!

"Arsenal are useless at home in Europe", "We are as good as out". This is what some Gooners proclaimed after seeing the team take one point from the opening three games in the Champions League. Most would be inclined to agree untill the 88th minute.
Is there a goal that has ever had such an importance on Arsenal's future? The new stadium needed the banks confidence financially, the players needed the Champions league, and most of all the fans did too after many seasons of dissapointment.
Limited chances, frustration, Thierry being marked tightly. "Tthis pitch is too small - we aren't going to score!" Dynamo are sitting back in a way reminiscent of the past home dissapointments suffered against Ajax, Valencia and Roma. We all know the narrative.
Another ball is flung into the box - a desperately hopefull ball. It's just like any other ball we throw into the mixer in the last ten minutes. Or is it?
This time; something was parodoxically inccorect (out of divine inspiration perhaps) - Ashley Cole begins to make a run. This wasn't supposed to be - somebody is actually nearing the six yard box. It's flicked on by Thierry, and the rest as i say, is mystery.
That goal would have been better seen in Highbury. On tele it came as a suprise as he came into picture. Why was Ashley there? That's the mystery.
Big moments in football seem controlled by greater forces. Against all expectation, and against all the psychology of our poor home record and the pattern followed of these home games- we managed to do it.
Mystery.
