So there we were in The Fountain.
Junior Goonier joined us with 3 of his mates just after kick off.
Between us we were 3 Liverpool fans, a dyed-in-the-wool Arsenal fan and a Leicester City fan with a slight lean towards the Arse.
Tight start with neither side able to get flowing and both making silly errors when passing.
The odd tense moment.
But then Arshaven was heading for goal when he was brought down.
Great. A penalty.
But no. The ref gave a goal kick.
Revenge was sweet though with that lovely strike from Arshaven just a few moments later.
Nothing sweet about the penalty awarded against Almunia though.
The own goal by the Arse that followed just made me feel sick.
And to then have a wonderful goal in the dying minutes disallowed as offside.
No wonder it was all too much for Wenger.
Sent in disgrace to the stands.
And then a scene that almost made the loss worth while.
Wenger with nowhere to sit, so sweetly defiant.
An iconic football moment I would say.
