First game you went to the Grove to see

Postby Massa » Mon Feb 22, 2010 7:35 pm

Arsenal 3-0 Rangers
Pre-Season Friendly
Emirates Cup
2009/10


One of Jacko's finest performances, scored two with Eduardo nicking the other.

Wha' bout you?

Emirates Cup at the start of last season. I'm afraid I was very, very drunk.

Well mine wasn't long ago, a year ago yesterday in fact, against Sunderland, it was Arshavins first game, and I remember being shocked at how short he was. Didn't get to see Cesc play, or a goal being scored, but the experience was one of a kind. Then went to the Roma game a few days later and that game, and atmosphere was 50 times better.

DB10's testimonial, I was one of the mascots waving a flag on the pitch, I got Newcastle - luckily for me the goal that was for was arguably his greatest ever for us! We got tickets but they were way high up in the corner.

0-0 with 'Boro Hleb had a shocker, had an open goal but opted to square it to someone who had two defenders around him!

Damn. Hate to brag but I think I've only missed three games since we've been there.

How many people here have actually got season tickets?
