Commentator: Just three month ago, I was here to see Arsenal become the first team in the modern history of English football to go through an entire league season unbeaten. And today, another record is in their sights. If the champions avoid defeat, against Middlesbrough today, they will equal to the longest undefeated run in the English football history. It could turn out to be a very good ball indeed for Thierry Henry… Yes! Middlesbrough torn apart by one long ball and one stroke of genius! They might have half a chance now with Job… Oh! And they have converted it!
