Being an Arsenal fan has been a test of time and patience for many Mumbai fans. While many other club fans may have reconsidered fandom, it has rarely been the case of Arsenal fans who have seen their club fight back on so many occasions that they always have hope. For this writer, it was one such match on November 3 in 2007 that left him in awe of the club three years after their iconic 'Invincibles' season that won them the title in 2003-2004. 

After hours of playing football, we decided to watch the game at a friend's home. The television flickered with all kinds of red, making it difficult to pick a winner, except Manchester were the favourites, and this writer disliked their dominance that reeked of being unbeatable. While the match was heading in one direction all through the game, when William Gallas pulled off an extra time header to equalise, I had picked my red momentarily because the rest of the season remained a blur. Imagine fighting back against Manchester United at the Emirates, at a time when The Red Devils were at their peak. It was surreal!
