OSM's 50 Biggest heart breaking moments in sport.

Please find below Simon's reply on Guardian Unlimited's blog regarding Mr Hussey's night of pain and turmoil (including trademark spelling mistakes)...

Mr Hussey's oh so biased comments on the heartbreak felt by Scousers that night at Anfield in 1989 has left a bad taste in this Gooner's mouth.
Stating that we chanted 'Murderers' at Liverpool fans at Highbury is tainting all Arsenal fans the way all Liverpool fans were tainted as hooligans by the disgraceful tabloid press in this country after Heysel and also Hillsborough.
Surely someone like Mr Hussey believes in protecting the game from 'the few' that have made travelling fans and the like much maligned over the years?
I've always found that Liverpool and Arsenal get on pretty well compared to most other 'big' sides and we especially enjoy the trip to Anfield.
Very sorry that we broke so many hearts that night, but we hadn't won any major honours in donkeys years until that benchmark win, unlike Liverpool who had dominated the domestic game for so many years.
Also Mr Hussey states that we are wide boy cockneys???? Does he even know where Highbury is?
Maybe AFC could be blamed for Derek Hatton too while we're at it?
Oh well, after the two recent results at Anfield you've now got something else to moan about, in fact maybe Arsenal should be charged for bringing the game into disrepute by beating such a wonderful old club like Liverpool so often in one season.
