    I remember it will, john barnes ran into the flanks, gave the ball away to lukic, who threw it out to dixon, who kicked it to alan smith, whi passed it to michael thomas, and bang goal
    What john barnes is speaking about is his run cost liverpool, as they were losing 1-0, and if it stayed like that they would be champions, but arsenal got that goal as he gave ball away, and went 2-0 and arsenal were champions
    lol
    I stopped watching arsenal in 2002, but 16 years i watched arsenal we won 4 leagues
    First game i watched arsenal as a kid, was liverpool were playing arsenal in 1987 littlewoods cup final. For people that do not know liverpool just won everything back then
    There striker ian rush had a record, that if he scored liverpool did not lose
    Guess what my first game as kid watching arsenal that day, arsenal beat liverpool after ian rush scored, and it was first time liverpool lost a game where ian rush scored. It was some crazy record they had and i love that this was my first arsenal game as a kid. Liverpool had this mad record that ifd ian rush scored, liverpool back then did not lose. It was some crazy record
    lol, that it ended first time i watched arsenal in 1987, as we beat liverpool after ian rush scored a great goal for liverpool, and it was first time liverpool lost a game when ian rush scored
    In those years arsenal brought down liverpool, and liverpool went from winning all the time to not winning league for 3 decades
    Alex ferguson never beat liverpoolk with john barnes in those years
    It was arsenal in those years
    First time liverpool ever had dark clouds over it, was 1989 may, when we did that famous night, what john barnes speaks about here, and makes me laugh he did that.
    John barnes played football for sudbury, just down the road from where i grew up in london
    lol
    How things work out.
    John barnes was a bloody good player
    Shame his liverpool team never got to play acmilan, as liverpool were banned from europe back then.

    Never blame others for your mistakes that contributed to a goal. Terry Fenwick should have cleared it and not kicked it up in the air backwards towards his own goal. Shilton, who could use his hands, was then out jumped by Maradona who is much smaller. If you look at the stills, Shilton doesn't even jump off the ground.

    "naturally"..."CR7 had to work harder"..what does that even mean in a GOAT debate? Tom Brady does not even have half of the talent of Aaron Rodgers, but he is the GOAT no debate. "Most Naturally gifted" is not the reason players like MJ23 are the GOAT. It is about the performance in the most pressurized situation and the ability to win everywhere they go with different teams. CR7 has dominated 3 leagues and Messi struggled as soon as he left Barca. Then you look at the UCL as the hardest competition, it is CR7 again. I never understood all the hype after WC like Argentina is not one of the greatest nation of football with or without Messi. Now had Messi been Australian and carried that team to victory then the discussion would have been different. Does that mean Haaland could never be considered the GOAT as he may never participate in the WC?
