Littlewoods Cup Final 87 win and then losing the following year already taught me if the highs and lows of supporting the Arsenal. I attended both, so was fully aware of what was at stake in '89. I was only 10, bit had every ounce of emotion invested in it....a lot to do with school rivalry against nearly everyone (who were all Bin Dippers back then, the glory hunting cunts).Originally Posted by Letters
My one regret from that evening is I wish I'd been a bit older and a bit more bothered.
Don't get me wrong, I appreciated the enormity of what had happened and I day-dreamed happily about the Thomas goal for months, maybe years, after. Still gives me goosebumps now. It was definitely the moment which had the most effect on me but the '93 one - me being there, me being more bothered about football generally, that was the first one that really made me jump around like a lunatic.

I had so much piss taken out of me for Luton 88, that this was a could not lose, in so many ways. I knew the team back to front, and it was the first season I followed every single game for the results etc. i remember the Norwich 5-0 like it was yesterday, as it was such a "wow" game....Smiths goals, the "two in a minute" etc.
It was also a time when I had all the games recorded on video and watched our wins back constantly!
I was there in 93 too! It was a cool night. The game was so boring though!
