your Arsenal memory of 2012

[Ollie the Optimist]

although many wont believe it, 2012 has actually given us some great indivdual moments of brilliance that have left us feeling happy with our football team.

what is your Arsenal memory of 2012, your highlight.
for me there are a few great games taht stand out, beating tottenham 5-2, twice, beating them to 3rd place after being 13 points behind, reading comeback, aretas goal v man city, comeback against milan to 3-0 was enjoyable.


but for me, my memory and stand out moment for Arsenal in 2012 happened right at the begining of the year. Thierry Henry scoring the winner on his return to the club was one of those moments i wont ever forget. that is my hightlight, what is yours?

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Topping Spuds even after they broke bank in an attempt to finish ahead of us. Compounded by them not getting CL footie inspite of coming 4th.

Spuds :pal:

'Arry :haha:

[Cripps_orig]

Its been a shocking year so to try and find something is hard. Is there any one game that i watched that made me feel elation? Not really.

Id go for 3-2 v Villa in the cup last season

[fakeyank]

Henry scoring against Leeds. It's been a shit year as an Arsenal fan.

RVP singed the new contract :coffee:


Wait, he signed for ManU :(

[Marc Overmars]

Henry vs Leeds and the first 5-2 vs Spurs.

Pretty shite year though overall.

[Joker]

The 5-2 Spurs performance was a throwback to Wengerball c.2001-2005, it was quite nostalgic to see us play like that. Shame it was a false dawn.

As a moment the Henry goal was brilliant. Honourable mention to Verminator's late late goal vs Newcastle which had me :patrice: ing
The first 5-2 vs Spurs was brilliant, them 2-0 up and crowing. And then. :pal:

[Cripps_orig]

Verms goal v Newcastle is a good shout indeed.

Only time i went crazy

the verm goal was great, seeing spurs 2-0 up to 5-2 down was brilliant, think i prefered the second one though for the simple reason i was there!

especially at 4-1 singing "are you tottenham in disguise"

[Özim]

Not really been many good moments as it's been a pretty awful year.

Spurs 5-2 is the standout game for me, we played pretty well in that one.

which one though?


losing 5-2 to your rivals twice in one year. spurs :haha:

[Gervinho's Forehead]

2 x ARSENAL v sp*rs 5-2

[Özim]

I preferred the first one, thought we were outstanding in the 1st game (I didn't see the 2nd one live)

[Gervinho's Forehead]

Come on Ollie!

[Ollie the Optimist]

Come on Ollie!

i wasnt making any point, was just trying to make a joke about how shit spurs are to lose 5-2 twice. :good:

Verms goal v Newcastle is a good shout indeed.

Only time i went crazyObviously I wish we were a better side but it's just not true to say there have been no good moments this year. There have been plenty.
There's been a lot of crap ones too mind but such is the life of a football fan. That's why we keep going back I guess.
For every :ilt: there's a :patrice:

[Cripps_orig]

Im sure there has been and had i watched either 5-2 win v Spuds then they would easily be top of the list.

I didnt though so i cant pick them

I did watch the Henry goal v Leeds but due to a combination of being extremely pissed off that we struggled v Leeds and me not liking Henry that much anymore back then, its not a highlight for me.

I was at the Arsenal 3-2 Villa game in the Cup when we came back from 2 down and the 2nd half was brilliant

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Had to be the 5-2 vs Spurs, both actually. Thought the 1st one, because of what it led to and where spuds where and how their fans felt hurt end of the season.

Beating City 1-0 was good and Arteta's goal was awesome tbh.

The 3-0 vs Milan at home was a special night, even though it did not lead to much.

Henry coming back was a great moment.

Verms goal vs Newcastle (as said above).

All of RVP's goals, the was some special ones tbh.

Funny thing is everytime we play them, we play more fast attacking type footie and it alway seems to beat them.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

pretty much every van persie goal.

they were sublime and usually gifted us 3 points.

thanks wenger.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

i wasnt making any point, was just trying to make a joke about how shit spurs are to lose 5-2 twice. :good:

:lol: spurs

we beat them 5-2 with song and van persie in the team.

a season later we were twice as shit but beat them 5-2 again :lol:

alwlwlful team.

Yep! But make the most of it, the fukkers will finish above us this year! :(
My memory is that nothing has changed and Wenger is still here and still shite!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Spuds finish above us? :lol:

No.

[Lord Nelson]

Hope your right Ghost Boy! Lets discuss in May!

let's be fair it's been a pretty glib year for Arsenal football club and no particular sign than 2013 is going to be any more promising.

LOL! We must have spent our entire transfer fund on bribing the West Brom Goalie! :)

I must tell you, bribing is a quality.

[KSE Comedy Club]

I think my favourite arsenal memory of 2012 is the west ham game being postponed.

No.
Another win for the Scum! FFS! Looks like you jinxed it Mac! :(

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two stand out moments for me:

1. Moment that Henry scored V Leeds
2. Moment that RVP converts pen for 3rd V Milan
