On October 30th 2012 in the Capital One Cup 4th Round, at The Madjeski, Reading,  Arsenal found themselves 0-3 down after 37 minutes and the Reading fans were giving it large, singing appropriate songs towards the Arsenal loyalty. Final score 7-5 to The Gunners. This was the first time that 12 goals had been scored in a League Cup game. 24,000 watched! Walcott got a hat trick and Arsenal received 6 yellow cards, Reading 2.
Goals scored like this:
Reading 12, 18 (og), 20, 37,                         116
Arsenal                            43, 64, 89, 90, 103,    120, 120 (added time in extra time).

In the Premier League on February 5th 2011, Newcastle Utd, at home, were 0-3 down after 10 minutes and then 0-4 down at half time to Arsenal but fought back to 4-4 with Joey Barton scoring after 68 minutes and he also notched a penalty at 83 minutes. Tiote's stunning volley at 87 minutes sealed the come back. This was the first time in PL history that a 0-4 deficit was recovered. 51,000 were at St James' Park.

On February 4th 2004 Spurs were 3-0 up against Man City at WHL by half time. King, Keane and Ziegle scored.
Joey Barton, for City, unsurprisingly was sent off, probably because he was losing.

Despite no Joey, City fought back to win 3-4. Distin, Bosvelt, Wright-Phillips and Maden scored. In the City side also were Richard Dunne, Trevor Sinclair, Anelka and Fowler!

29th September 2001, Spurs were at home and 3-0 up against Manchester United. United did something at half time and came back to win 3-5. I remember watching the game on telly and sighing as Cole, Blanc,Van Nistelrooy, Veron and Beckham replied!
