The greatest night of my life [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GssctcuJeqo&NR=1"]YouTube - North London celebrates Arsenals title success 26/5/89‏[/ame] http://www.youtube.com/user/AFCGuildford#p/a/66DDB6FC9410BB20/0/bQmO3S2eLPE Never felt as emotional about a game before or since, a time when players knew what it meant to play for The Arsenal, a time when fans knew what it meant to support The Arsenal. How I long for those days
I remember that day - up at some ungodly Australian hour of the morning, all edge of the seat stuff and hearing the pool fans singing "We're going to win the league" and then the boys came through . I remember hearing a chant at the end of "Are you watching Tottenham" - just brilliant. Then the sun came up, we started drinkng, we went to the pub, we went to the casiino (I won 350 bucks and shouted my 2 mates a late night buffet) and I taxied home on my own at 3 am. Got up at 7am and went to my Physics exam, stayed the minimum 30 mins writing a note to the examiner to say I was way to pissed to answer his questions but GO THE GUNNERS. Then I went straight back to the casino to find my mates. A day I will always remember - would have just loved to be in London to join in those celebrations but made up for in in the best way that I could .
2011 Version Arsenal come streaming forward now in surely what will be their last attack. A good ball by Sagna, finding Chamack, for Denilson, charging through the midfield. Denilson!! Passes it back to song sideways to clichy back to song sideways to denilson back to song sideways to denilson back to song
I think of the greatest announcer calls in US sports and there are some that resound for everyone, regardless of fan tribe. Is "It's up for grabs now" as famous across the footy landscape, or is it just memorable for Arse fans? BTW, I'd rep you, if it what you say wasn't so painful.
I got a big fat ZERO. Fortunately it was mostly a coursework subject and that exam was only 15% of the final score. I had 74/85 and that became a flat 74% as a final score after wiping teh exam. It never bothered me because I had to do first year Engineering at that place to get my toe in the door because of my dismal high school grades of 8 years earlier. I was transferring to do Chem Eng in a university 1000 miles from there and my first year grades were never going to count towards the GPA at the final destination. All that was essential that year was to pass first year engineering after never having done higher level maths or physics at high school. Looking back I have no idea now why I left the casino at 3am - keeping on partying looks like it would have been a better life choice .
