    Assuming you're an average Arsenal fan, neither do you <ok>

    Pride in the way we fought back (after Diaby's disgusting punches), rather than actual victory. Of course you probably don't know that feeling

    Are you for real? <laugh> Why are you bringing that game up, it made you lot look ridiculous! As for Swathes, it was a few hundred, still enough left to make your fans sound like they weren't even there.

    What is the use of this argument? Really, you are actually questioning why our fans cheered a game where we broke the premier league record for a come back from 4-0 down? I don't even like to remember the match we let slip a 3-0 lead vs WBA at the end of last season and I'd certainly be surprised to see any of our fans bring it up as a reason to take the piss out of west brom <laugh>.

    Kno I was there at the end. Saw Knolan knearly score in the 95th minute. Also I don't think coming back from 1-0 down is a true fightback

    Genuinely confused as to why you have brought up such an embarrassing day for your club? Is a few hundred fans leaving a 4-0 such a hilarity?

    Two dodgy penalties? The first one was a stonewall penalty! Step away from the keyboard, it'll do you a world of good.

    Oh, you also forgot that offside goal that wasn't for us, so the second penalty makes up for that.

    Edit:

    1:18, hardly a dodgy penalty when your player trips Leon Best in the penalty area. You tool.

    Our 'great' memories are of Keegan & Robson eras, this wasn't a 'great' memory as such; we just really loved that game because we cheer passionately when we see our team put in tons of effort - which is what they did in the 2nd half. Also find it surprising that you are claiming people at that game weren't looking properly when you're generalising the **** out of the proportionally tiny amount of people who left.

    The best example? It's far from the best example, that sort of thing happens regularly when a team is getting pasted. The best example to you perhaps, but most other people remember matches that stick in their mind more. Some people left the stadium perhaps, but there were still well into 40 odd thousand people left over getting behind the team all second half. I'm pretty certain that the fans at that game will be remembered for raising the roof after every single home goal, even the first.

    He's doing well but he hasn't played 'anyone' yet. He's also been very lucky <whistle>...

    The crowd support totally inspired the whole comeback.

    An actual example of fans leaving and not supporting their team was 3-0 at half time against Sunderland <laugh>

    I think in world football it goes like this:

    Messi > Ronaldo > Xavi > Van Persie

    Agreed. Imagine this up front:

    Suarez - Van Persie - Silva

    Aguero

    True lol. Bet you would be gutted if Van Persie left.

    Also, how good is Walcott when he is on form? Unplayable today
