the team Wenger inherited was hardly packed full of world class players!
I wasn't on about the team he inherited, i was on about the invincibles of 2004 to the current shambles.
and in your world the invincibles assembled themselves?

What a sickening stomach churning thought.
how about morrow, selley, hilllier, mcgoldrick and linighan?
get a grip ffs
sounds like you hate our team more than any Spuds fan
GG never told us that lot were world-beaters, he never rewarded em with extended lucrative contracts but most importantly each and every one of them, despite their serious lack of talent, were proud to wear the Arsenal shirt and never put in anything less than 100%.

Nope in my world 2004 was 7 years ago and I don't live in the past. Arsene Wenger is the greatest manager this club has ever had but his time was up 2/3 seasons ago. If you want to continue living off past glories fine, I'll worry about the mess we're in TODAY.
those shitty george graham players you mentioned might have been shit but they won more than denilson, arshavin or eboue ever will.
FACT

Bender, Denilson, Eboue and Vela have a bunch of dosh.
from memory none of them apart from possibly Hillier made 10 appearance in '91 most weren't even at the club
and we won just one league cup
none of them but Linighan played in the FA cup final so wont have medals
obv morrow played in the league cup final but not sure about the rest
we also never challenged for the league with them in the team so in a CL era they would have been far far worse options
there is a real lack of perspective here
the rubbish current players could all easily win more than the rubbish GG players this season alone

Greatest. Night. Ever.
Doesn't mean I'd like to see George back as boss mind!
highburyJD wrote:on that note who tracked back more anders or andrei?
Andrei has disappointed me more than any other Arsenal player ever. He is undoubtedly a brilliant player but his attitude absolutely stinks. The 50% tax thing seems to have derailed his interest and he has been one of our worst players this season. Anders all day but then I am biased.
I idolised Limpar prob more than any player before or since
but he absolutely WAS a lazy *word censored*
I hope the (admittedly pants) Arse players listed win as much as pos
maybe they will maybe they wont
the idea that Arse winning a trophy could turn your stomach I find very surprising - I also think denilson et al are better players than morrow + selley etc

I hadn't really thought about it that way. I've been of the frame of mind that any cup win might spur us on to better things (a la 87) but I'm not sure we deserve it. But then when we beat Chelsea the other week I celebrated those goals as ecstatically as any others. Stil, everytime I see Bergkamp or Pires clips these days, it makes me really sad, not just in a nostalgic way but in a truly gutted, we've lost some magic way.
Sorry JD. I too idolised Limpar but when it comes to laziness, AA wins hands down!! GG didn't like that aspect of Limpar's game - probably the reason he ended up getting rid of him - and certainly wouldn't tolerate the Russian's sub-par efforts the way that Wenger does.
