A look back at Chelsea's famous 6-0 demolition of Arsenal in 2014 — a bittersweet memory for Blues fans as the Gunners celebrate their latest Premier League triumph.
March 22, 2014 stands as one of the great days of my sports viewing career.
Ah, I remember it fondly. There we were, three of us — myself and my mates Jonathan and Stu. We had made our way to Parkhurst, to the familiar surrounds of the legendary Jolly Roger to watch that Saturday’s English Premier League encounter.
We apparently expected a high-scoring affair, for a wager was made: for every goal scored, the opposition’s supporter was to knock back a shot of Jägermeister. It would seem that 12 years ago, we still had collective faith in our livers to wash clean the system and easily tackle any babalas that would follow.
Yes, the flesh was willing in those days, regarding the consumption of alcohol, even though the mind tried to dissuade us from being complete hooligans — a battle it often lost. Beer and whiskey were the preferred poison, and we freely enjoyed a few libations before kick-off, discussing various sporting talking points.
