emily is living right next to parc des princes and i was on the phone with her while that game was going on. i could hear the crowd cheering from her window
My first ever game in Europe was the 2001 Champions League Final with Bayern beating Valencia on penalties. I've since been to Arsenal v Grimsby, Villa, Sunderland, Southampton, and the Tony Adams Testimonial vs Celtic. Oh, and I admit it, I was missing footie so bad last year I went to two of the ManU tour games vs Juve and the one here in Philly vs Barca (I wore my Adams kit and heard the donkey noise quite a lot).
Arsenal 1 v 0 Liverpool, 27/01/02, FA Cup I was a huge fan of English football looking for a club to follow. I read Fever Pitch so I decided to check out an Arsenal match. I enjoyed Highbury but it wasn't until I got home and started to see them regularly on TV that I became bound to the club. I haven't looked back since. Arsenal 3 v 0 Tottenham, 16/11/02 My boss has some good football contacts. He got these tickets from a friend of a friend and they ended up coming from a Norwegian playing for Tottenham so we were in the away section! I would have preferred being with the home fans but it was an experience I'll never forget. Henry's goal was one he picked for his top three in the Centurions video. Arsenal 3 v 1 Aston Villa, 30/11/03 This one was particularly memorable because my wife and kids came. We're all serious Arsenal fans so it was quite a moment. Inter Milan 1 v 5 Arsenal, 25/11/03 I was pretty nervous a few weeks before this one. I had plans to go and if things had gone a bit differently, this game would have been meaningless. But everything came together and it turned out to be something I'll never forget. Arsenal 0 v 0 Fulham, 30/11/03 Very frustrating. So many chances but none went in. GJ40
I was at that game as well. Also, Euro 2000: Holland v. France Portugal v. Turkey France v. Portugal Holland v. Czech (I think, the one they scored 6) Holland v. Italy (why? why?!) Italy v. France World Cup 2002: England v. Brazil Brazil v. Turkey Brazil v. Germany
So you were kicked out? '02: Arsenal 1 - 1 Liverpool Arsenal 3 - 2 Chelsea '03: Leeds 2 - 2 Newcastle Djurgården 3 - 0 Landskrona Leeds 0 - 0 Southampton Arsenal 2 - 0 Villa for a few minutes Boro 2 - 3 Leeds Real Madrid 2 - 1 Espanyol a couple of Nationwide matches.. other stuff..
1994 World Cup Quarter-final, Dallas The Netherlands v. Brazil First game I ever witnessed, and I'll probably never be able to top it. I was only 13 at the time, but I still understood the magnitude of the class of athleticism I witnessed along with everyone else at the Cotton Bowl that day. This year, Arsenal v. M'boro (Jan 10) -- 4-1 Went all the way to the UK for a match, and it couldn't have been better (except for that last shite goal by 'Boro). Was hoping to see Bergs (for the 2nd time), but he was still injured. Oh well. Only 2 matches on my resume, but I got plenty of time to add more.
Arsenal 0 - 1 Fiore - CL '99 You will never hear so many people more quiet than after this match at Wembley. Arsenal 0 - 0 Newcastle - Prem '99 Make that 180 minutes of Arsenal without a goal.
Not to be too pedantic, but that Chelsea game was in '03 - Liz, did you get your "I Actually Saw Van Bronckhorst Score" button? Also for me: -Yugoslavia 1, U.S. 0 (France '98) -Colorado Caribou ?, NY Cosmos ? (circa late '70s/early 80s) -US 1, Mexico 0 (2002, friendly at the new Mile High) -US ?, Derby County ? (??, friendly at the old Mile High) -A handful of largely forgettable Rapids games
I'm so jealous. I haven't seen an Arsenal match, YET! That is the key word YET. I am hoping to go this year with Arsenal America.
Nice I have not been to an Arsenal game YET. The key word is YET. On April 10, 2004, I will be at Highbury for Arsenal-Liverpool...yes, I will be in the stadium.
Re: Nice AIK 2-3 Arsenal Arsenal 2-1 Leicester Leeds 0-4 Arsenal Arsenal 2-1 Leeds Arsenal 1-2 Leeds Leeds 1-1 Arsenal Leeds 1-4 Arsenal Arsenal 2-3 Leeds Leeds 1-4 Arsenal Leeds 1-4 Arsenal Arsenal 2-0 Villa Arsenal 5-0 Leeds Leeds 1-0 Man U And around 150 more Leeds matches
I only get to go when my Uncle (a season ticket holder) is out the country on business, or the VERY rare occasions tickets make it to General Sale. This season I got along to: Arsenal vs Manchester City Arsenal v Chelsea (woo!) Arsenal v Birmingham Arsenal v England - Martin Keown Testemonial The testimonial game was soooo much fun. Very few season ticket holders about, and with the North Bank back under the control of regular fans the noise was astonishing.
Very few season ticket holders in their regular seats, most of us sat with friends who we used to stand with in the good old days
Probably contributed to the atmosphere as well. Easier to make a tit of yourself making too much noise with mates than strangers Maybe its just the part of the North bank by uncle is in - its a bit of a library up there most games ive been too - except for "the pesimistic comentator" 3 rows back who seems to think the whole stadium wants to hear his pissant whining. I don't miss standing though - legs aint what they used to be. Remember watching Enfield as a kid, not being able to see a whole lot, the fences, the riots. Dunno bout "good old days" Besdies I dont think I could stand for 90 minutes anyway - so unfit its not funny lol.
