A club of our size, stature and history shouldnt be fcuking around putting up statues and the like - it's alright for a club like coventry to put one up of jimmy hill (though I am sure that chin will be a health and safety concern

) but we have had so many people contribute massively to the club over the years so how do you choose and where do you draw the line ?

Failing that I would have a statue of David Dein or George Graham

George Graham, wasn't he a postie on Avenell Road, some time before Arsenal was founded in October 1996?

Oh well, that'll be a coventry statue being well and truly abused when sunderland next visit, be lucky if its still standing after the match (genuinely).

Anyway, I'm not sure Arsenal need a statue. We've got one of Bob Stokoe since we've won nothing since '73, but I think if you win quite a lot there's maybe not much point unless you're going to have a load of statues and every manager who has won you a top flight title could get one. How abouts save it until someone wins you the CL, then build him a statue 20 years later?

The band leader from the old days, somehow finding a way to suspend the baton in mid-air to commemorate the ritual carried out in front of the Northbank.

No, now.

Then we can get G88ner to train his racing pigeons to shit all over it once a week.

What'd you expect, he founded the club, gave birth to Thierry Henry, and brought such footballing luminaries as Eboue Almunia and Denilson to us.
