Arsenal Top 5 Goals

By: Martin | July 31st, 2009

Hola, amigos. There isn’t too much else going on on this Friday, but I figured that, as a break from our normal despairing about Arsenal’s squad/new uniforms/transfer policy/Diaby, we could do something positive today.

If you recall, the official site has been running a summer-long event to name Arsenal’s top 5 all-time goals. I’ve largely avoided talking about this, because it all seems to be a calculated attempt to get people to pony up for Arsenal TV, which I find distasteful because most of you can’t afford it (I know I can’t). Anyway, the event is finally finished, and Dennis Bergkamp’s goal against Newcastle in 2002 was named the top goal. Again, though, it’s frustrating because you can’t see it if you’re not a subscriber.

Anyway, in an attempt to stick it to the man, fight the power, put the system on trial, etc., I figured I could just track down the top goals on Youtube and embed them here so we could all enjoy these great moments from Arsenal’s past. Enjoy:
