these are the main things that have happened in my life time. the main things i can remember anyway.

winning the double in 1998- what a great day, adams sticking the 4th to finish off the season in style.

winning the double in 2002- wiltord scoring the only goal in a 1-0 win at old trafford, what a night!

inter milan 1-5 arsenal- looking like were going out, the team puts on a stunning display and destroys the italians on there own back yard.

ian wright breaking arsenals scoring record- scoring an amazing hatrick against bolton to become arsenals record goal scorer.

thierry henry breaking arsenals scoring record- scoring a double away to sparta prague to take his tally to a record 186 goals.

unbeaten champions 2003/2004- playing beautiful football that no team could match, arsenal done what no one thought was possible and went an entire league campaign, with captain patrick vieria walking round walker and passing it into the back of the net to cap it all off perfectly.
