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.

What a squad we had back then, every player was hard as nails as well as a fantastic footballer.
Can't believe nobody has mentioned his song yet! A tremendous player and a rare owner of his own unique song.

Tbh, I'd forgotten the quality of Ljungberg's goal, but I remembered Parlour's Bergkamp-esque curler I had a half way line, upper tier seat, for that game (£70), and gave my spare away to someone in the Arsenal South Wales Supporters club as my dad couldn't make it to the game.
I also had a bit of trouble getting to the game. I lived in Bristol at the time, so had booked my train ticket in advance. When I got to Bristol Temple Meads train station, I was told I had no chance of catching a train to Cardiff as football fans in London (both chavs and Arsenal) had filled ALL the trains even though many didn't have tickets - I ended up getting a taxi from Bristol to Cardiff with 2 Chelsea fans for £300
Still, made it there... great day... we won!
Sprayed a red mohican in my hair for that day haha definitely the best of all our visits to the Millennium Stadium.
Have some tissues handy, you will cum several times.
That goal against Spurs is so underrated. He just makes it look so easy but to have a cross hit well beyond the back post bouncing right on the bye-line with a defender tight on him and for him to score with two touches. Only Dennis.

Over the past week or so we have been wonderfully reminded, like we had all erased it from out minds, just how good teams under Wenger were previously (7 years or so previously) and the names of the greats were rolled out again.
The usual names were there, and rightfully so, Bergkamp, Viera, Henry, Pires, Campbell and even Fuckface Phone Pervert but it struck me that one truly great player was missing.
Is it just the media or have most of us forgotten just how good Ljungberg was in his pomp? For a couple of seasons the guy was electric and before injuries caught up with him his worst of seasons were very good.
This guy scored a shed load of goals, made the game look so easy with the timing of his runs and there was a spell when if he didn't score you was surprised!
Plus on top of all of this he was a bit different too. Football punk if you will.
Why does Freddie not get mentioned in the same breath as the other Invincibles?
