On the BBC website - select your best Arsenal Premier title winning players
No you can change the formation if you like / need to accommodate.
Seaman
I put Cole over Winterburn
Lauren over Dixon
Adams
Sol
Freddie
Vieira
Parlour
Pires
Henry
Bergkamp
Was gutted but no Ian Wright
Opted for Pires over Overmars
Couldn’t leave out Parlour who has won 3 titles with us, was mom at 98 cup final and scored a corker in Cardiff v Chelsea.
His all round tenacity and workrate got him selected over Gilberto / Petit
Anyway, have fun

Re: Select your title winning team
Yes I completed this too, only difference from your selection above is that I went for Dixon over Lauren at RB
Re: Select your title winning team
I would have put McLintock over Sol but then I am old , opened the link and realised that footbasll only started when the Premier got going.

Re: Select your title winning team
Any bollocks I'll give it a go but would add any Arsenal team without Wrighty is a cùnts team.
For me its:
Seaman
Winterburn
Dixon
Adams
McLintock (just edged Bouldy)
Rocky
Vieira
Parlour (just edged Freddie)
Pires
Wrighty
Bergkamp
Subs (my rules - fuck you all):
Henry
Freddie
Overmars / Petit
That's the one. I should probably just lock this thread now huh?

Re: Select your title winning team
My heart wanted Dixon, but Lauren’s toughness swung it for me - Plus the fact I’ve never seen him score a 40 yard own goal chip !
Dixon on the other hand

Gilberto

Bergkamp..
The two full backs were the hardest choice for me, but I picked them.ahead of Dixon and Winterburn because I felt they were better options.Picking Cole sticks in the throat but we cannot re-write history .He was a brilliant left back. Leaving out Wright , Parlour and Overmars was tough also. For me especially Parlour. If it is solely based on Premier League winning players,Overmars and Wright won one each and Wright was a squad player for the brilliant run to the title in 1998. Parlour was a brilliant player for Arsenal but Freddie just gets in ahead of him.

Re: Select your title winning team
I would just about edge Overmars over Pire s and Petit over Parlour.That combination of Vierra and Petit in midfield used to intimidate other teams before a ball was kicked.StuartL wrote: ↑Mon May 18, 2020 1:08 pmhttps://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/52617355

Re: Select your title winning team
Speaking of Wrighty in 98 I would say he had contributed hugely in the first half of the season.
Also I had my first doubts about Wenger that day of the FA Cup final when he didn't put Wrighty on for a run. At 2-0 it was one last chance for Wrighty to get on and score and go out the way he deserved.

Lord arsehole was fond of a final fuck up. Taking Pires off in CL final was unforgivable.DB10GOONER wrote: ↑Thu May 21, 2020 12:55 pmSpeaking of Wrighty in 98 I would say he had contributed hugely in the first half of the season.

Wrighty was an out and out goalscorer, Henry didn't mind assisting. Those two could easily play together.
Parlour ahead of Freddie because he was more versatile, and Pires slightly ahead of Overmars as he stayed longer, won 2 league titles, and was technically much better player than Overmars.
Lauren ahead of Dixon, mainly because he took the most important penalty of the 2002 campaign, vs Spurs at home to give us a vital victory in the title run in.
Campbell just ahead of Keown as he gave us a different defensive strength. Keown and Adams were similar in style.
Cole ahead of winterburn because he became the best left back in the world whilst wearing an Arsenal shirt. Arsenal were wrong in how they dealt with him, but Wenger believed Clichy would be become a better player. The Cole / Gallas swap deal cost us a league title in 2007/08 season.
