Legends Statues

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

That's right - Rune Hauge

Without him and his brown paper bag, George Graham may never have been sacked... the likes of Hiller and Jensen may have bossed our midfield for years to come... Rioch wouldn't have been given the chance to not impress the Arsenal board... and, most importantly of all, David Dein may have missed out on signing Arsenal's legendary manager, Arsene Wenger. With, of course, the knock on effect being no doubles, no invincibles, no Henry, no Bendtner and no Wenger Out banner! :shock:

Yep, there should be a statue for our favourite dodgy agent, Rune 'I give you Pal Lydersen and a brown paper bag' Hauge :barscarf:
Then surely it all goes back to another Arsenal legend....

John Jensen

or even further back...

John Jensen's Parents

Could have a statue of them getting it on.

:shock: :) :wink:

Yeah... anybollocks back to the thread... :lol:

I also think you should only put up a statue of a person AFTER they have died tbh.

TA6? Mr Arsenal? Legend? Yes and yes. 8)

But TA6 is (let's be honest here) a bit fucked in the head (to use a clinical psychology term) and how would we look if TA6 (just to prove he is his own man and all that) took on the Scum manager's job a few years from now? And won the CL with them for instance? :shock:

Yeah, I know - it probably (hopefully) would never happen but WHAT IF IT DID? :shock: :shock:

Statues for living people that can then possibly go on to make complete dicks of us are not a good idea... :?

Just seen on BBC that Adams wasnt at the unveiling of his. Yet another kick in the teeth after the snub at the Wigan game in 2006.

Personally i would have suggested the idea to any living "legends" first and if they were unwilling to attend and show their gratitude offered it to somebody else.

The fact that Bergkamp isnt represented still astounds me and he would have been a far greater recipitent.

If the bloke left Gabala for family reasons, as was widely reported, then for all we know he may have other commitments that take priority over football any day...

Seeing those pictures and looking at that money-grabbing, smug, grumpy *word censored* Hill-Wood there ruins the whole event, seeing as how they hate spending money what did they use to make the statues out of, cardboard?

Herbert Chapman wasn't there either.

He's going on the list.

Got to love Henry. The man lives Arsenal.

With statues it is always going to be a talking point. All 3 are deserving of the honour. Probably would have bumped Chapman (because of the bust) and put in Wrighty or Dennis. Or even a George Armstrong.

Anyway, don't get the Adams beef. So what if he wasn't there? He's Arsenal through and through. That will never change.

Henry's statue looks a bit like Chris Eubank.

Possibly TA6 is a bit embarrassed by it? :?

What snub in 2006? Wasnt it established Pompey had a game that day also, and he couldnt get off work? The world doesnt revolve around this club.

The Tony Adams hate I always read on here is pathetic. Fuck the haters.
