Most of my mates were Liverpool at the time and I decided to back them 2 win title at anfield last game of season,...was great windup material for the next 9 months.......apart from that I never thought Cardiff would ever get out of the 3rd and 4th divisions at the time so carried on watching out for arsenal scores just for some interest in the first division.

And who didn't love the first 10 year's plus of the wenger years......apart from everyone else who were envious of course.....the beautiful game played at Highbury.....amazing 2 watch.

Money fkd it up....tv fkd it up.....players and agents fkd it up.......whilst fans desperately pretend alls good to try and keep something going that died years back in its true form.....like carrying a stuffed relative about pretending they aint fking dead

I agree about wengers arsenal. Especially the early years.

We were doing nothing around that time mid table mainly but they were a joy to watch for the most part, Thierry Henry for me is the pls best ever forward.

My dad mentions his back-to-back hat-tricks at least three times a year and rarely in any sort of context. Bloke would be £80m today.

He was truly boss. Loved Big Les, in the flesh his spring and his heading ability was second to none, and he wasn’t that tall iirc, about 5’ 10”?

Sir les was a very good striker.. One of the best... Kinda didn't get the credit he deserved.

6 million we paid.. Jesus compare that to Joelinton at 40

That Arsenal side in its pomp was something we’d simply never seen before in England. They were great to watch and I’d go out of my way to watch them when they were on the box back then.

Perhaps one of Englands best ever sides, and without a doubt one of the best sides in the prem era.

I could watch Henry all day tbh even now he takes my breath away whe I see old clips.

Ashley Cole too, hated by loads after going to the chavs and doing the durty on tweedy but he was easily one of the besy lbs I've seen. Fantastic player imo.

Theres loads of em I begrudgingly had respect for even when they were burying us.

Terry
Stam
Rooney
Drogba - fukin hated that diving **** but he was some player.

Just gotta hold ya hands up and applaud some talents sometimes

Yeah, with Petit and the old skool back 4 of Winterburn, Dixon, Adams and Keown. They were different class.

Many would argue Wenger reaped the benefits of defensive rigidity ultimately left by George Graham, and he never managed to replicate it once that backline finally retired.

I remember watching them do us 7-1 at Highbury and a middle aged bald Blue ran on the pitch and wanted Nyarko to give him his shirt as he reckoned he could do a better job lol.

Arsenal had been in the wilderness a while before that happened too. They litterally had one summer signing those players I mentioned and turned into something frightening.. I think their fans forgot that when they started chasing out the very manager that got them back to the top.

Similar to what happened here with Bobby they blamed the wrong person
