Ian Wright told a story on Talksport about that game the other week.

Ian McGuckin said to him during the match "You think you're Mr Big Time, you are a Sunday morning player"

Yes Ian McGuckin said that to Ian Wright

Wright's response;

"I'm flattered to be called a Sunday morning player that's where I came from but to be fair if you look around I am playing at Highbury, so it's fair to say I have made the big time"

I'm sure that was a diluted version of the story for radio!

What I remember about that game was getting a rise out of Dennis Bergkamp, if you remember he'd had a slow start to his Arsenal career, so when he went down injured in front of the Pools fans at the clock end we of course sang "What a waste of money" Berkgamp just gestured 4-0 with his fingers, it was probably the highlight of that awful season, getting a bite out of Bergkamp!

Was that the one when the fast bstrd controller turned up in the boxes above us or was that the year before (or the year after, coz we went two years running didn't we).

went on the bus both times - blaked both times

I remember that cheating bastard Lee Dixon diving pathetically in the box, trying to win a penalty when they were three nil up already - or summat like that. I was fuming, as were people round me.
Diving like that against a team so far below them in the leagues was despicable. I'm sure a pools fan got onto the pitch and was restrained. But Dixon would have deserved it...

the second visit to highbury was also the day oj was found not guilty

and my first and last awayday on the supporters association buses.
full of teenage chavs pissed

When you look at our team it does make you wonder how we retricted them to only 5!

Steve Jones in goal ffs. Arsenal must have only mustered 5 shots on target

Seeing that team makes you realise how far we have come!
