100% agree with those saying the 2006, 0-4, Arsenal game was the contrary of crap. It was just a graceful lesson in football, and probably one learnt from considering our progress afterwards - it could even have been a contributing factor to our finishing position that season. I don't think the ball has been passed around our pitch anywhere near as good as it was that day. Henry and Fabregas absolutely ran the show... I'll never forget Henry's first goal, scored in 58 seconds?! Even if it wasn't the best of the day, it was raw football. Fabregas just about kept it in and pulled it back for Henry who just let the pass to him do the work off his foot; clicking the bottom of the net lining, real quality.
Last season's Carling Cup fixture with Arsenal however was sincerely crap. There's losing, then there's losing a 4-0 lead at home - becoming the only team in League Cup history to score 5 and lose. That game still makes me turn.
Will we ever beat them?
