My Favourite "Arsenal Moments"...

Well every player has his moment when hes cocks up makes mistakes or has a moment of madness. There was always Jamie Carragher's own goals when he first came on to the scene, Massimo Taibi's clangers at Manchester United and Joey Barton seeing red at every club he's even been at. But there hasn't ever been a team like Arsenal who've been susceptible to collective brain freezing. I don't know what it is but every time I think Arsenal are ready to win something they have one of these moments. Here some of my favourites. Arsenal fans it might be time to hide behind the couch...

Jens Lehmann - 2006 European Cup Final V Barcelona

Well its your sides first Champions League Final, your side is dominating a Barcelona side which consists of Ronaldinho, Eto'o and Deco. Eto'o surges through the middle clear on goal, what to you do? Stand off and let him shoot? Close the angle down and make yourself big? Or come steaming down scythe him down and get yourself sent off in the biggest game of your career? If you would like to know that answer please Facebook Jens Lehmann... By the way he was voted European Goalkeeper of the Year that year...




Gael Clichy vs Birmingham Premier League February 2008

Well what a game this was... Arsenal top of the league looking like they're on their way to winning the Premier League. But Arsenal suffered an implosion of epic proportions after striker Eduardo suffered a leg break. Gael Clichy having that speedy and skillfull winger Stuart Panarby... Run at him decided to make a ridiculous and pointless error when he could've given it a hoof and cleared the the danger...



William Gallas v Birmingham Premier League February 2008

Well after the Eduardo and Clichy incidents it all became a bit too much for William Gallas. I don't think there's been a moment like this in football nevermind the Premier League. Gallas decided to stage a one man sit in displaying his displeasure at Arsenals demise in the match.



Lukasz Fabianski v FC Porto Champions League 1st Knock Out Round, February 2010

Well if there is a perfect example of a player literally single handedly losing a game for his team, this is it. Arsenal were given a decent draw playing Porto, who are by no means a weak team but I'd rather have them than Inter, Barca or Real Madrid unless your Lukasz Fabianski... Take a look at these clangers...



Arsene Wenger vs Manchester United, Premier League, February 2009 

Well how can you do an article about Arsenal without mentioning their commander-in-chief Arsene Wenger. A man who I have an immense respect for, someone who I believe played a major part in dragging English football into the 21st Century... But even a man like him has his moments of madness as I've mentioned in earlier articles. Well one of these moments happened against bitter rivals Manchester United, when he was sent off for kicking a plastic bottle... Yes you read that right, a plastic bottle...



Well that's enough craziness from the Emirates, I would like to extend my apologies to those Arsenal fans who've lasted this article and sacrificed sleeping well tonight.
