Beating Barcelona 2-1 is right up there. That was Barca at the height of their powers. One of the greatest sides of all time. We rode our luck but it was a fantastic win.

The worst was losing to Chelsea. We were the best team in Europe at the time.

Remember PAOK Salonika?

I can't really bring myself to include a good first leg or 2nd leg in a tie that overall we lost. Seems like enjoying the icing on a dog turd birthday cake

On the night it was a great win; but I think it's overegged a bit as Barcelona did lose a few games away in Europe in those days if I remember correctly. They were of course peerless at Camp Nou.

The owner of Fulham has offered to buy Wembley for £800m.

Whilst we are on a roll..

My favourite ever 3 Wenger decision making moments (not results) that prove he was unquestionabley the best manager in the world 98-2004

1) The striker switch

Buying Anelka for 500k selling him for 23million and using half the money to build a state of the art training facility and the other half to sign the greatest player club has ever had!!

Could Ferguson have done such a thing ? COULD HE HELL!!!!

2) the whole summer before the invincible thingy.

The club had no money for players and the mirror ran an article with headline "their broke!" Or something similar over a picture of Wenger and Gary Lewin. In desperate need of a keeper and new centre half Wenger signed a slightly mad and ageing German keeper and moved an unknown African midfield player to centre half and then promptly went THE WHOLE *%^@*** SEASON UNBEATEN!!!


Could Ferguson have done that ? Yeah right my Arse!!!!

3) The Gran Canarian holiday

Imagine being sat on a beach in the Canaries on holiday sipping a cool beverage enjoying the sea when your wife hands you a newspaper with the headline in massive letters "Wenger sells Overmars and petit !!!!"
Out of the blue our 2 best players at that time sold and it just seemed mental and there was no way back as all the good work had been undone. 1 month later Robert Pires and another unknown African arrive for half the money Mark and Manu went for and the team proceed to GIVE EVERYONE IN THE LEAGUE A COMPLETE BUMHOLING FOR THE NEXT FEW YEARS!!!

Could Ferguson have pulled that off ? No chance !!!

I heard £500m could it be $800m?

Sky saying £800m wrong again

I can't think of the Barca win as 'up there'. It was exhilarating at the time, but it was the exhilaration of dodging a bullet and using up all nine lives at once. Our inferiority complex was very much in place by then, and the luck ran out in the second leg.

Glory days. Who was that other unknown African? Lauren?

On that note: one for le Boss

Yes he was a king

No Costa in starting lineup. Özil and Jack play. Čech on bench.

Wenger just keeps on giving. No Čech. If Čech is the better gk which he clearly is then play him

Money changed hands for Warrior to say that ....... that slippery **&^% would sell his grandmother for $5

Idiot on BT has said twice that arsenal need to win trophy to make CL for 20th successive season

Tw@t!!

It's been a long time since I was this nervous about a game.

Wow, the atmosphere at the Emirates Stadium is electric. We have not seen such an atmosphere for a long time.

Shame Bernards not around to explain why you're wrong about the 20 games.............................

Fantastic fast start. Hit the post now a point blank save from a header.

Need to get make the fast start and tempo pay.

Wow. Unbelievable. Their right back has picked up two yellows in the first 10 minutes. Brave and correct reffing

Well deserved red.

Have fun with only 10 men now.

A deserved second yellow. He left his foot there.

Oh my. Atletico down to 10 men.

Not sure the second yellow was a yellow.....but it is a naughty one on the ankle but it is just a tiny split second too late.

Massive call from the ref. No question on the first yellow card.

Huge break for us. We Have to make this count tonight

Now their manager has been sent off

Someone going mental. He’s sent off as well.

He was asking for a yellow for Bellerin for a nothing foul.

Need to not do anything silly and give the ref the chance to even this up.

If any team in Europe is good enough to defend this out for a 0-0 with 10 men for 80 mins it is Atletico

Don't you just love the French................

There is two dangers here .....
[a ] we don't go into cruise mode and start f*&&^^ around at the back thinking we have a ton of time to score
[ b ] don't make any stupid challenges and give the ref a chance to balance the ledger , which they subconsciously try to do

Nice try Lacazette, could have been a yellow for diving

Lacazette goes down theatrically but I have seen them give as pens.

I suppose we’ve had our big break from the ref already

Lacazette ... how embarrassing

See Simeone is standing behind Ivan , if we did fancy him he could tap him up

Jesus wept .......you want a penalty for that

Feels like the next 20 mins until half time are huge in this tie.

If we can make the most of our momentum and get the lead before half time we could go on and completely take control of the tie and keep the fans rocking for the second half.

If Atletico weather the storm to half time it will be a huge confidence boost to them

Didn’t say it was a pen. Just that I have seen those given. Striker engineering contact and going over a loose leg from the defender.

Have you seen dele alli play?

Monreal with a flash volley off his right just wide.

Know he hasn’t scored but Lacazette has been really impressive

Great work rate, always gets it on target

The time wasting over every restart is terrible. Ref needs to get on top of it early.
