Does anyone have any clips of us fans celebrating, preferably when Jens made that save? my mate is gutted we went through (he hates arsenal for some unknown reason) and I want to annoy him all day.
Nice post Biggus, like your good self I have supported Arsenal for over 35 years and I feel the same way. For me it matters not how we got there we have earned a right to be there, despite a few controversial decisions made against us and not playing our best football we still are going to Paris. Football is about supporting your team through the bad/negative times as well as the good times, getting a result when you are not playing well deserves a reward and we got ours last night. Well done the lads you done us proud.Biggus said:I've been an Arsenal supporter for 35 years.....most of that time we were a medium sized club. We enjoyed raining on the parade of the big glamour boys and stole the crumbs that they dropped, We prided ourselves on our reputation of being partypoopers .Then along came Arsène Wenger and wrought a total revolution..... not only in the way the world saw us but also in the way we saw ourselves, and we now stand at the dawn of a new era for the club. There are those who say the old Arsenal......and the old girl Highbury is gone, We are a new club -almost- and we should adjust our expections accordingly.
Maybe they're right to say we should have strode into the final in a style befitting us, and I should expect more.
I'm just glad we're there, and we have a chance of winning it.......
With a nicked goal against the run of play, with a controversial decision or on penalties.....It matters not a whit.....so long as we give the old girl a good sending off.

Having bribed the referee into giving a penalty and missing it, Villarreal took to intimidating the most important person on the pitch to get a precious equaliser:
And Jens had a little more help saving that penalty than most people would have you believe:
