I'm still shocked that the Hasselbaink header at Elland Road doesn't feature prominently for most as the second worst memory after the 2006 CL final.
It literally handed the initiative to United & they went on to win the title by a solitary point.
A lot of things fell right for them that season.
But for Hasselbaink's goal & Bergkamp's missed penalty it would've been a double double for us instead of a historic treble for United.

The thing is we still should have won it even with those devastating losses at Chelsea and Utd.
We ended up struggling to draws against Villa, Wigan and Middlesbrough right after the Birmingham game. Two of those were at home as well.
That title run in will always haunt me, we should’ve been champions.

I think it was said Wenger made choice to give it to him so that an inexperienced player didn't feel burdened by taking on the number after the great DB

@Rex Banner is a sadist.
I haven't seen the highlights of any of the incidence in the OP, nor do I intend to.
Even typing this is like reinjuring old wound

The brilliance of football is that there is always another game / reason to be hopeful. I’ve never really struggled to get over defeats, however painful, as a result.
That decision to renew Wenger in 2017, when he was so clearly past it, killed any hope around the football club for an entire year. In hindsight, it seems that the club just wanted to put in place a new structure before moving away from the great man. But it felt like a sickening blow to the head at the time.

CL final. Heartbreaking really if you think about it. Some of those players (Henry/Bergkamp) really deserved it and so did Wenger. End of an era that loss..

Oh boy I just love this type of thread, I cried at the first result and was probably bald bitter and twisted by the last so here I go,
69: Swindon Town 3 Arsenal 1. league cup final
71: Stoke 5 Arsenal 0, league div 1
73: Leeds 6 Arsenal 1, league div 1
78:Ipswich 1 Arsenal 0, FA cup final
80:West Ham 1 Arsenal 0, FA cup final
85: York City 1 Arsenal 0, FA cup 4th
88: Luton town 3 Arsenal 2, league cup final
03: Arsenal 2 Leeds 3, league runners up.
These still all hurt but on a happy note watching Supermac knocking out Kenny Burns with one punch at Highbury rates alongside Sammy Nelsons mooning the North Bank.

Mental that we reached the FA Cup final 3 seasons straight and lost 2 of them. And FA Cup was a massive deal back then, not like it is right now

So many to pick from, Birmingham still haunts me. This is bar none the worst thread of the forum, think my PTSD is kicking back up.

Other than the obvious ones, given its length, it has to be #BumeryBall after the honeymoon period was over, and he destroyed any sense of good football Wenger had taught the team.

Having a good laugh at Liverpool back then was nice, but seeing them with a world class manager & a fantastic squad with the chance to win it makes me extremely bitter.
It's 15 years since we won the title & I'm starting to think we'll be the team that outstrips Liverpool in the wait for our next one.

I wasn’t laughing at them that year, they knocked us out the CL and Peter f*cking Crouch went a long way to killing our league hopes.
Country: Saudi Arabia
Crouch seems to have it in for us, read an article the other day in the mail where he said , after watching Watford maul us, that he'd have loved to play us again. He had this sickening habit of scoring against us, no matter who he lined up for

One I didn't see mentioned is the UEFA Cup final loss on penalties to Galatasaray. Another European disappointment for Wenger. It's incredible he didn't win a single European trophy with us.
Contrary to his reputation amongst Arsenal fans, I thought Gallas was a good defender for us in his first couple seasons, just should never have been handed the armband.
I remember myself thinking it was harsh on Gilberto, who many thought was the obvious choice to be promoted after serving as vice captain. In hindsight, he didn't play much that season as Flamini had a breakout year, but yea, definitely one of the more curious choices for captaincy.

Seeing United score on the Gibbs slip minutes into the match was brutal after all the prematch hype and atmosphere. However, watching United get thoroughly dismantled by that Barca side in the final made me think we dodged a bullet (although I obviously wouldn't have turned down a second finals appearance). Which is why, in hindsight, it doesn't pain me as much as others.

To be fair we were dismantled multiple times by that Barca team ourselves, but yeah everyone was losing to Barca that year.

When I was little I was a bit more emotional with football. I watched UCL final, thinking we were gonna win. At the end of day, I ended up crying like a little baby. It was truly heartbreaking. The last time I felt something similar was at Euro 2016 when france lost against portugal.

2006 CL-final - by far. I felt we were robbed in that game, and i still think we would have won the final if it had been a fair game by the ref.
And its annoying that we are the only big club that have never won a European Cup, and i am tired of hearing United, Chelsea or Liverpool fans saying that we have never won the CL.
But looking back, i have to say it`s incredible that Arsenal didn`t win the CL between 2001-06 considering the team that we had during those years.
