Time to crack open the Chelsea thread
Our best ever FA cup win, for our best ever team...
...win the cup v Chelsea on the weekend, then win the league v United in the midweek
Love this win, it always brings a cheer when you see Lee Dixon behind the goal as he wheels away in delight as soon as Ljungberg curls that unstoppable ball in the spiders nest.
I was there. Great day out. We were very, very, drunk.One of my favourite ever moments not only because it was ****ing awesome but that 01/02 season was my first properly supporting Arsenal as some teenage kid from Australia. We had to stay up super late to watch this game, only the biggest games were shown live on TV back then, so got to watch us clinch the title at OT and this game. Those two will always be close to my heart
Might be controversial to others but I actually enjoyed the 01/02 double over the Invincibles, we were just too good in 03/04 whereas 01/02 we stormed to the title winning like 12 games in a row or something like that; and won the damn thing at Old Trafford to top it off.

Walked into a Chelsea pub by mistake before the game and was pelted with celery…
Yeah, that was the least stressful final I’ve ever been to - so obvious we were going to win from minute 1 it was absurd! Annoyingly I missed Sanchez’s wonder goal trying to find my seat after a half time pint or two. I was also and for some reason allocated seats right by the touchline next to the various of the players family, which was a bit odd!I had the good fortune of being in London for the Villa Cup final - I couldn't get to the game but watched it in an Islington pub full of Gooners and my word, many beers were flying around when those goals went in.

Arteta Luck
Wow, I didn't expect that to be true.
