Where were you 9 years ago today?

I was here...feel free to share memories, thoughts, photos etc.

 

Ditto! Though was that really 9 years ago?! Bloody hell.

A guy that was sitting in front of me during that match had a little patch of white hair on his head, his friend said it was a lucky patch and if you rub it good fortune will come your way, within minutes of rubbing his head, Jenas began the onslaught! Safe to say his head was getting rubbed quite often during that night

 

I was on Old606 pointing out that Goons really don't understand what the term "youth team player" means...

 

I was at the shop buying my cat some treats to say sorry after I threw him across the room in excitement.

 

I was supposed to be working on my dissertation in the library. Listened to the game on earphones. Needless to say, I was politely but firmly asked to leave and 'find a more suitable venue for my disruptive behaviour' shortly after the 3rd goal went in.

 

That still sends shivers down the spine.

Jenas was immense in that game, he often did turn it on whenever he played Arsenal. If he'd had played like that more often for Spurs he could've gone on to special things, had so much potential yet just never let it shone through enough.

 

I was in the West Stand, or perhaps more correctly above the West Stand, it felt like I was floating in the air. Easily as good as the best line of Charlie that I ever snorted.

 

This thread inspired me to get in touch with some mates from back in the day. One of them sent me a clip last night of that fateful evening in the library. I can only assume that the Head Librarian was a Spurs fan, as she was the only one who got out of her chair when I loudly encouraged everyone to 'stand up if you love Tottenham'. Not sure why she looked so angry though...

 

I was at the game and when Lennon scored the fourth I cheered so loud that I strained my vocal chords and had to see a specialist a month later

 

What a great manager that Ramos was!!!!!?

 

I was in a pub is Hornsey surrounded by Gooners... They ****ed off when Keane scored at the beginning of the second half. I also still have this mug -

 

I went into an estate agents office recently and the manager was drinking out of this mug.

 

Its hard to fully explain the night to my daughters who were 10 and 5 at the time.
They can not imagine not beating the goons in over 8 years!
You explain the score line and the karma of Bentner scoring an own goal with a towering header after scoring a winning one against us only 4 weeks before but then there was Adebayor headbutting Bentner after they had a row on the pitch. There was the incredible noise all night...then there keanes dancing on the pitch....and wenger being drenched in champaign after the players burst into an interview room thinking Gus Poyet was in it...all the gooners then spent a month saying we would get battered by chelsea in the final...but funniest of all was the goons claiming it was a reserve team of kids and they still try to pretend that today

 

Love that side so much.

What a journey it's been.

Pathetically, I can't remember where I was <blush>

 

It's a nice mug ;-)
(bit faded now)

 

You wouldn't be the estate agent by any chance?

 

It would explain the username!

 

Excellent... (but no, Just a shark nerd)
