The Greatest Game?

A lot of people argue the 4-2 wins against Barcelona and Bayern in 2005 were our greatest European performances. But I disagree.

Another result stands out for me from our European history.

Arsenal 1 - 2 Chelsea

Two days after my birthday, we won against Arsenal. All I said that for my birthday I didn't care what I got, as long as Chelsea won. And Wayne Bridge scored that goal. Made me cry :)

Best day of my life, after so much heartbreak at their hands in the past, this meant a lot.

I loved that win at Highbury but I rate the 4-2 against Barca even higher. It was a game which had everything.

My top five European matches:

Chelsea - Barcelona 4-2 (2005)

Arsenal - Chelsea 1-2 (2004)

Lazio - Chelsea 0-4 (2003)

Chelsea - Barcelona 3-1 (2000)

Valencia - Chelsea 1-2 (2007)

I like to watch the Youtube video of the Arsenal match, Some guy edits it and him and a Chelsea fan are in the pub saying thats what its all about, Brought a tear to my eye last week.

Mine would be the 4-2 against Barca, I went nuts when JT scored that header. JT can be bought for 40 Million but his memorys are priceless.

The 2-1 vs Arsenal was definitely my favourite as it was against that team that i hate more than all the evil on this planet and suffering combined, specially those 2004 "untouchables" who only won 1 trophy that year (best week of my life when we knocked em out of europe and Man utd knocked em out the FA Cup. Since 1997 they caused nothing but shit for me at school and every time we played em we just simply didn't win and we (well i) got to a stage where i dreaded those games because i expected defeat. I had left school by the time of the Champions League game too which sucks but it was awesome none the less.

Since then, We've had the better of those north london scummers :)

One of my favourite games in Europe is the 3:2 against Pool at the Bridge.

I went on my knees and cried cause finally we made it into the Cl Final.

For me, it had everything a good match needs.

Of course, that 4:2 against Barca was just something else.

But winning against Liverpool in that kinda way. Fantastic. I´ll never forget that Penalty by Lamps.
