OLD V NEW
Not exactly on point, but I had to say something: I've just watched a Sky Sports Classic of our last league game in 2003-2004. This was the game in which we secured the almost unique unbeaten league season record, with a 2-1 win over Leicester. The line-up was:
Lehmann
Cole
Toure
Campbell
Lauren
Pires
Vieira
Gilberto
Ljungberg
Henry
Bergkamp
Edu and Reyes came on as subs, followed by Martin Keown, for his last Gunners appearance.
What a line-up.
I know we're embarking on an exciting new age but just seeing the Invincibles at their peak almost brought a tear to my eye. What a great side. To be honest, even with the unbeaten run and two titles in three years, I never thought they achieved what they could have. But when they played, fucking hell, they played.
Beautiful to see Bergkamp and Vieira combine for a sublime winner, even if it was in front of the North Bank rather than the Clock End. And superb to see a sunny Highbury too. It was even nostalgic to see Arsenal give Leicester a goal start, allowing the distinctly mediocre Dickov (who couldn't get a game in even our shit George Graham tail-end team) to score from that most rare of things, genuine skill from Frank Sinclair. But Frank returned to type when he brought Cashley down for a pen.
Really lovely to see that team again. I hope the new side reaches those heights, but even if they don't, we'll always have the memories.
