1999 Arsenal versus Man U FA cup semi final....

I was in a house full of Arsenal fans. Game was level and heading for extra time, since Keano got sent off, the gunners has began to dominate and push forward and it looked to everyone like they would win. Understand I had spent all day in that house fighting with these Goooners and listening to their pap.... When they thought it was sealed up you should have seen them crowing.

Till Vieira misplaced a pass

And the best defence in Europe was single handedly ripped to shreds by the Welsh wizard. I was jumping and screaming so much in a house full of people which had suddenly become quiet LOL. Some people had to leave the room, one friend in particular I caught up with on the balcony afterwards having a 'moment'...Tears stains on his cheeks (big man in his 30s) ha ha ha ha I left him and returned to the roomof absolute silence to begin my suicidal mission of rubbing it in LOL.

Reduced two others to tears and another to get so upset he wanted to fight!! too funny

You're braver than me DM......I'm a great believer in "When In Rome Do Not A Christian Be" lol.......though many times since supporting Millwall all over the Country since 1961 !!....I've been in the Away End and HAD to keep sturm otherwise I wouldn't be here to tell the tale! lol......Had experiences from Carlisle to Bristol thru' Leeds/Oldham/Stoke/Bolton/Chelsea etc etc,,,,,,!!.......it comes with the package,unfortunately,of supporting The Lions....
