Some of them are chosen for personal reasons, most because of who they are.

LB: Sylvinho
CB: Adams
CB: Campbell
RB: Lauren
LM: Overmars
CM: Fabregas
CM: Merson
RM: Pires
ST: Henry
ST: Bergkamp

Arsenal dream team
There's quailty players that i haven't put into the team but it's the fact that i never saw them play is the reason there not in the team
This was very hard to decide & most of the players were from my first prob match in which we lost 1-0 to Liverpool in 1997
There only past players i've put down & noice that expect for Adams & Pires there all from the Bergkamp Testimonal
Arsenal XL suddenley get into a made up friendly in my mind with the PA calling out the first names & the fans there last name (as they do over the Arsenal)

1 David Seaman (SEAMAN)
2 Lee Dixon
3 Nigel Winterburn
5 Martin Keown (KEOWN, there's only one....)
6 Tony Adams
7: Bobby Pires
11: Marc Overmars
4: Patrick Vieria (VIERIA.......)
14: Thierry Henry
8: Ian Wright (IAN WRIGHT WRIGHT WRIGHT)
10: Dennis Bergkamp (there's only one....)

Subs: 13 Alex Manninger (i liked him, my fav player at one point), 5 Steve Bould (he's got no hair but we don't care......), 17 Manu Petit, 25 Kanu(he's big he black he had a heart attack..), 8: Freddie Ljunburg (we love you freddie....)

Tom I think its a bit harsh to tell people to fuck off if they don't agree!

You seem very staunch on that point! Are you a fan of "phone fun" too Tom?

Anyhow my team looks like this-

Seaman
Dixon
Adams
Ceasar
Sansom
Rocastle
Brady
Viera
Pires
Bergkamp
Henry

I wanted to choose so many ither players such as Merse and Williams but there just is not the room!

However I'm sure they don't see my failure to pick them as a blot in their copybook!

Very difficult.........

Seaman
Dixon
Adams
Kolo
Winterburn

Vieira
Cesc
Rocastle
Wright/Bergkamp - Cant decide, idolised both!!
Henry

Ok then:

Poom

Cygan
Caesar
.
.

Song

.
.

Jeffers
.

Ok, so I can't come up with too many more...this either means I'm too young to remember too many really bad ones, or as a club we just have a very small amount of them...

I'm guessing its both. Wow can you imagine a spud trying to do this! Spoiled for choice!
