7-0

Thierry HenryI went with Cathy to see the Arse play Everton but it turned out to be a massacre with Arsenal winning 7-0 even without Henry scoring. He came on for the second half and set up three of the four second-half goals including Edu's goal from the penalty. It was kind of exciting (the Guardian raved about it) but as neither team's position would be changed in the table whatever the result it wasn't anything to get too excited about. Having said that me and Yol did see the Middlesboro game at the start of the season that Gordon Strachen named as one of the best (or was it most exciting?) game of the season. Sol Campbell looked decidedly rusty. Bergkamp was good for an old man. They did a slightly desultory lap of honour at the end (they haven't won anything this season as yet) and we slipped out once they gone past the North Bank.

If you hadn't realised this isn't one of my photos. The strip next season is a weird maroon colour with gold letters on the back and is supposedly a replica of the original Arsenal strip. Synthetic fabrics have been around a lot longer than you'd think.
