into miserable bastards.
- Are you stayin'?
- No!
'I'm just wondering
at what stage
'George Graham will decide... '
Just watch a couple of minutes
of the second half.
'Winterburn and
Richardson behind it.
'Adams made a darting
little run in there.
'And Smith!'
- Y-E-E-ES!
- YES!
- Ha, ha!
- Yeah!
Yes! Yes! Yes!
'Liverpool players
'are surrounding the referee. '
Typical. Bet you
any money you like.
'He's coming to have
a word with the linesman.
'Now - a crucial decision here.
'Ronnie Whelan looking on there.
'The goal's been given. '
YE-E-ES!
Isn't that just like Arsenal?
They need two so they score one
just to get us all going.
You want 'em to score a second
before they scored the first?
'And what a game we have now.
'The breakthrough by Arsenal,
'their fans...
'are delighted.
'Back to Smith.
'Adams there with him.
'Merson...
'Richardson...
'A chance here...
'Thomas!'
Oh!
Told you. He's useless.
'Suddenly, Thomas,
totally unmarked... '
That's it.
I've had enough. I'm off.
Good. F***ing good riddance!
Are you coming?
No!
It's M Y flat!
You try gettin' me out of it.
'And Hansen will get it back.
'Quarter of an hour left. '
They've scored!
OK, listen up, everyone.
I don't know what to say now.
Sasha!
Um, well, basically,
Miss Hughes,
we had a whip-round
and bought you
a thank-you present.
Was that it?
Brief and to the point.
Thank you.
Wait. There's a bit more.
Well, we didn't
like you at first
'cause you gave us
too much work.
and we think
we'll pass our exams
so you must be a good teacher.
Scott, who's at home
watching football,
says you're like George Graham
because you push us hard
and get results.
Dinner's ready, guys!
# Been around the world
and I, I, I
# I can't find my baby
# I don't know when,
I don't know why
# Why he's gone away
# And I don't know
where he can be
# My baby
# But I'm gonna find him
# I'm going to fi-i-i-ind him
# My... b-b-b-b-baby
# I did too much lying
# Wasted too much time
# Now I'm here and crying
# Now, now, now
# Been around the world
# and I, I, I... #
Highbury, please.
Whereabouts?
Just around the corner
from the Arsenal ground.
I don't wanna go there tonight.
Not now.
It's in Liverpool, the football.
But I'm tapin' it, see.
They'll give
the game away there.
They'll be doin' their nut
or be as quiet as the grave.
You can go in and out
before the final whistle.
Come on, then.
# Lookin' for my baby
# Been around the world
# And I'm gonna... ##
You're an Arsenal fan, then?
Used to be, when I was a kid.
Charlie George an' all of them.
I don't go any more.
I'd bloody love 'em
to win tonight.
I'd bloody love it!
'Remember,
Arsenal need two goals.
'At the moment, they have one.
'If it stays this way,
'Liverpool will be Champions
for the 19th time. '
We shouldn't even have turned
the TV on this evening.
'But will it stay this way?'
What did we think would happen?
I don't reckon I'll be able
I won't be able to...
pick myself up.
Well, to get this close!
'Unless there is
an amazing and dramatic... '
Why did I listen to you?
Me?
You said we had a chance!
Well, we did. We do!
We're practically
in injury time!
'Arsenal have powered forward
'in search of the second goal. '
I might start supporting a team
that never wins.
Orient or someone.
At least you know
where you stand.
You don't lay yourself open
to situations like this.
'.. His team-mate,
John Aldridge... '
Can you believe that?
You're on your way out.
See what they want
when you're down there.
'Presumably,
we'll have to go on.
'And remember,
'Arsenal have both
substitutes already on. '
'One minute to go.
'McMahon has got the word
from the Kop, obviously.
'But nobody knows
quite how much time
'the referee will add on. '
This is awful!
It's like the end of the world!
'If Arsenal ARE
to lose the Championship,
'having had such
a lead at one time,
'that they have the result
'even though
they're not to win it. '
Oh, shut up, Pleat.
'You can see we're now
'well into time added on. '
Will you please,
please, please, please
please just f***ing f*** off!
You have arrived during
the worst 60 seconds of my life
and I don't want to see you!
I ask you! What sort
of berk would do that?
You'd just about forgive
but even then, you'd...
Where you going?
You're mad!
You might miss something!
'Adams is after his man.
'But Barnes will not be denied.
'Yes, he will, by Richardson.
'Down and injured.
'Streaming forward now
'in what will be
their last attack.
'Good ball by Dixon,
finding Smith.
'To Thomas.
PA-A-A-A-A-AUL!
'Charging through
the midfield, Thomas!'
'It's up for grabs now...
'Thomas!
'Right at the end. '
A- A-A-A-A-A-AH!
'An unbelievable climax
'to the League season!'
A- A-A-A-A-A-AH!
Mickey Thomas!
Yeah!
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Oh!
Oh...
How much injury time is there?
They've had
two minutes already.
They'll go straight up
the other end
and score.
'That's the final whistle.
'Arsenal, the Champions. '
And Ashworth has done it!
Arsenal!
We are the Champions!
YEAH!
# From the dark end
of the street
# To the bright side
of the road
# We'll be lovers once again
# On the bright side
of the road
YES!
# Little darling, come with me
# You can help me
share my load
# From the dark end
of the street
# To the bright side
of the road... #
I KNEW we'd do it.
I had this feeling.
Oh, yeah?
You're a lying bastard.
No, no, honestly.
On the surface,
I was all negativity and doubt.
But on the inside,
you gotta believe, haven't you?
# Baby, some time
# I feel some time,
I don't know why...
# Help me sing my song
# To the bright side
of the road
# From the dark end
of the street
# To the bright side of the road
# To the bright side
of the road... #
I AM sorry.
No.
No, thank YOU.
I wouldn't have
missed this for the world!
PAUL!
Friend of yours?
A guy I work with.
He's enjoying himself.
Yeah.
I've never seen him so happy.
When I think back
to the 26th of May, 1989 now,
it's impossible to explain
exactly what happened
to either of us.
All three of us
if you count the team.
But I do know this -
my relationship
with Arsenal changed that night.
It was as if I'd jumped on
to the shoulders of the team
and they'd carried me
into the light
that had suddenly
shone down on all of us.
And the lift they gave me
enabled be to part company
with them in some ways.
We still see
each other all the time
and I still love them
and hate them.
But I have my own life now.
My successes and failures
aren't necessarily
linked up with theirs.
That's got to be
a good thing, I suppose.
Life's never
gonna be this good again.
F*** off. Don't start on me.
