A quick shimmy off at the Luton turn and a scenic trip through Harpenden and St Albans saw us coming into London on the A10 for a change. Then we hit the traffic round the ground. It was like Wembley. Tens of 1,000's of fans milling around and blocking all the streets. Fancy dress and inflatable Premiership trophies were everywhere and they greeted us with smiles and waves.

We abandoned the coach and walked to the ground. There were parties going on in people's houses and gardens and a great atmosphere. We'd never seen so many people at Highbury but apparently thousands without tickets had come out to party and to watch the game in local pubs. The touts were charging £400 for tickets and doing good trade.

So, back to the game. 11-1 for Leicester to win and the punters were shovelling money on in their droves. Worth a quid or two at that price, eh? Football's a funny old game and you never know with Leicester. Nothing to play for and already down, and they always raise their game against the big boys. Could they stop Arsenal's unbeaten run, despite injuries galore, and make a lot of people in Leicester financially better off?

The atmosphere inside Highbury was great for a change. Library? No way. The Arsenal fans were on form, waving their flags and enjoying the day. They started brightly and put us under a bit of pressure for the first 10 minutes. Walker had to tip a Henry free kick over the bar.

But then City got more into the game and stifled the midfield. Nalis got stuck in a bit more than normal and looks like he's getting to know the English game more. Bent did a lot of work out on the right, getting some balls into Dickov who was buzzing around back to his old self.

The few attempts Arsenal had went wide and a guy near us took great delight in shouting "Henry, you're sh*t" every time the Frenchman didn't do anything with the ball.

After 25 minutes Mad Frank got the ball and went on a bit of a run. He managed to get past Viera and floated a great cross in to Dickov on the far post who headed the ball over Lehman. The City fans watched the ball go into the net and started leaping up and down scarcely believing it and looking at Durkin to see if it really was a goal.

That shut the Arsenal fans up. They seemed very nervous all of a sudden as their unbeaten run looked shaky!

City played with confidence, defended well and even started passing the ball around, to chants of 'ole' from us all.

The first half has whizzed by and we were soon into the second half. The guy next to us decided to turn his attention to Lehman now he was up our end who was treated to "Freak!" whenever he got the ball. Although Henry was stil "sh*t" pretty often too.

A few minutes in Bergkamp put a ball into the area which Cole brought down to control. Mad Frank was on him. Literally. They got all tangled up together and ended in a heap on the ground. It was more clumsy than intended but Mad Frank couldn't complain too much as Mr Durkin, in his last Prem game before retiring, had no option but to point to the spot.

Thierry took a perfect penalty to make it 1-1. "You're sh*t, Henry" yelled the guy infront.

Arsenal put on a bit more pressure, but city counter attacked and City fans were up in arms when a clear Gilberto handball was waved away by Durkin. Surely one of the clearest claims for a pen ever?

Arsenal finally opened up our good defending after 66 minutes with Bergkamp putting Viera through. Viera put the ball past Walker and then slid it into the net

Adams put Coyne on for Walker, fuelling rumours that Walker may be off, and the Welshman made two great saves.

Arsenal put on Martin Keown for his last game as a Gooner to rapturous applause, and so he would qualify for a Premiership medal.

The came a very scary sight. Benjamin came on to replace Dickov, who got a standing ovation from the whole crowd, and then Trev took the captains armband. It's just not right!

The final whistle saw Frank Sinclair and Steffen Freund coming over to throw their City shirts into the Leicester crowd, and everyone tipped up on the seats they were standing on and fell in a heap trying to catch them.

We were allowed to stay behind and watch the presentation of the trophy, and most of the Leicester fans did, giving Arsenal a well deserved ovation as they brought the trophy round. Wenger and Henry clapped us back and stuck up their thumbs. It was a nice big love in.

As we made our way back to the coaches Arsenal fans were coming and shaking us by the hands and telling us we'd come back up. A fantastic day out.
