5xChampions Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 I remember I was playing in a Champions League with Arsenal against Inter Milan on 08. It was the quarter final stage and the first leg had saw me lose 2-1 at the San Siro. I'd taken them back to the Emirates in search of a goal but just couldn't find it. 65th minute, Luka Modric plays a terrific pass into the danger area for Adebayor to pounce on and score. I scream in true Clive Tyldseley style... "ADVANTAGE ARSENAL!" I have also find myself acting as Matt Le Tissier or Phil Thompson when I'm playing a 3 o'clock kick off.
