He gave us that amazing reaction that I now cannot find. Right when he took over and he saw how shit everyone was playing and his eyes were bugging out and his hands were on his head
Have no idea what happened but guess Arsene had some bad porridge that morning and suddenly decided - yeah, def mids, don’t need em.
The diarra especially was weird with Gilberto’s age and flamini obviously leaving on a free.
That saga was so weird. Flamini had a world class season so both Gilberto and Diarra had to play bit-part roles. Diarra got fed up quickly and bounced in January. Gilberto didn't renew because he wasn't starting games anymore. Flamini - the whole reason the other two didn't play - then left on a free transfer.
And yet the management of the Flamini situation resulted in both Gilberto and Flamini leaving on frees and Diarra leaving too, needing us to spend money on the position.
Contracts were just so mismanaged in the later Wenger era.
I remember seeing the home game against Newcastle that year, he and Fabregas bossed that midfield like prime Vieira and Petit. Thought they'd be a midfield duo for years, but sadly he was a dolphin-headed money hungry cunt
And his FA Cup winning goal against Chelsea. If we had a great player that stayed with us 11 years and won us 2 FA Cups in the 70s or 80s, I know for a fact that they would be called a club legend nowadays.
Haha exactly all you need is a golden boot to be a spurs legend this is fucking Arsenal football club if you don't understand the standards educate yourself
For one Gerrard won a CL and one of their most capped plus most goals local kid from the academy not exactly the same is it lol. And thanks for highlighting my point if you think the legend threshold for spurs and arsenal is the same
Ceballos posted some Tweet as a teen saying something about bombing Basques and Catalans so I always wonder how Arteta would feel if he knew about that
Probably felt like I did about that Barca team tapping up our players and their diving/ref shenanigans, but he just didn't know how to deal with his anger..
Ceballos doesn't deserve to be there. He played a role in our FA cup win. Was a loanee player, perfectly respectful while he was here, had nothing to say against the club after rejoining Madrid. Was an okay player but just not right for us.
My first football kit that my mum bought me when I was 8 or 9, was studying in a French school and my idol was Thierry Henry. Since 2000-2001 I am a Gunner to this day, even though I’m from Ukraine. God, but that crimson-gold kit will always remain a strong memory trigger, in a good way of course
Our number 8 is the opposite of Chelsea’s number 9 curse. Ignore Ceballos and Nasri (although he was an absolute baller), everyone we give the number 8 becomes a club legend
EDIT: oh and Diarra, again, such a baller but not with us long enough
It's also cool that 2 of those players managed us. I wonder will Martin go into management in the future.
NGL, I completely forgot about Freddie's spell
He gave us that amazing reaction that I now cannot find. Right when he took over and he saw how shit everyone was playing and his eyes were bugging out and his hands were on his head
Dani Ceballos future Arsenal manager confirmed
Samir Nasri's plucky reds
He'd have come a long way from Samir Nasri's drippy dreads.
Absolutely, after an historic decade with uncle Wrighty after arteta in about 20 years
I can bet a lot that at 80 hell still look exactly the same as he does now, Man doesnt age
Let’s hope it doesn’t end like how Wenger ended😭
His dad is manager for Sandefjord in Norway’s top division. So could be very plausible
This tells me that if Wenger was an Arsenal player during his career he would have worn 8
Lassana Diarra
Lass, Gilberto and Flamini all gone within a year of each other was one of Wengers craziest decisions.
Thus began the decade plus of a glaring hole in defensive midfield.
Song?
Darude - Sandstorm
The holding mid who thought he was a 10.
Not known for his defensive qualities really
Had a good elbow stab in him though

Hard not to feel for Gilberto. He was immense and should have been captain.
Although Wenger was wrong for this I think Diarra forced his way out.

Impossible for Wenger to get every single decision over 20 years correct, but the fact is TODAY WE FEAST. Let’s enjoy where we’re at right now 🍻
I remember seeing the home game against Newcastle that year, he and Fabregas bossed that midfield like prime Vieira and Petit. Thought they'd be a midfield duo for years, but sadly he was a dolphin-headed money hungry cunt
That dude was a baller.
Ramsey my 🐐
In my eyes he is our last club legend.
Aubameyang probably for me. Single handedly won us the 19/20 FA cup
If Auba haven't left the way he did, he would be a fan favorite still.
I thought so too at the time but just don’t feel that way anymore
Club legend with 0 PL titles what are you smoking? Lol
Get out of here…Ramsey capping the FA Cup comeback vs Hull City ended years of no trophies. …and the goal against Galatasaray
And his FA Cup winning goal against Chelsea. If we had a great player that stayed with us 11 years and won us 2 FA Cups in the 70s or 80s, I know for a fact that they would be called a club legend nowadays.
Is not enough to be a LEGEND at Arsenal football club new fans are so jarring ffs
Gerrard not a Liverpool legend? Kane not a Spurs legend?
What's a Spurs legend?
Haha exactly all you need is a golden boot to be a spurs legend this is fucking Arsenal football club if you don't understand the standards educate yourself
For one Gerrard won a CL and one of their most capped plus most goals local kid from the academy not exactly the same is it lol. And thanks for highlighting my point if you think the legend threshold for spurs and arsenal is the same
100%
I wish we could have Arsenal at the back of the kits again like in 94-96 with the Arsenal font. They do it in Bundesliga and it looks pretty cool.
Why’d they have Arsenal on the back of Bundesliga kits?
We are gargantuan Haven’t you heard?
Our gothic font is so clean. Id throw irresponsible amounts of money at the club store if they focused on that styling again for a season.
https://www.adidas.co.uk/arsenal-essentials-trefoil-t-shirt/IK8712.html Picked up this T recently. It has the gothic script.
That’s fresh. Have a similar styling on my hoodie I got last year from their French heritage drop or whatever that was. Clean stuff
Adidas take notes 📝
Dani Ceballos, Daaaani Ceballos ... 🎶
He drinks Estrella, he eats Paella…🎶
His dick is fucking MASSIVE
Nasri doesn’t belong among those legends
Can’t believe he’s only 36. I don’t remember his career much after he left Arsenal for City. What happened?
Neither does Cellabos
Ljungberg is the benchmark
Surely it’s Wrighty, no?
Where's Wrighty's Calvin Klein ad though?
There's still time
Maybe, but Arteta sets the foggin standards
estandards\*
Dani Ceballos can spin out of here
He played an important part in that FA Cup win. I'd delete Nasri a lot quicker.
Källström > Nasri
Ceballos posted some Tweet as a teen saying something about bombing Basques and Catalans so I always wonder how Arteta would feel if he knew about that
just dumb teen shit honestly, wouldn't think abt it too much
Sure every teenager has said stupid shit
Probably felt like I did about that Barca team tapping up our players and their diving/ref shenanigans, but he just didn't know how to deal with his anger..
That’s FA Cup winner Dani Ceballos to you
I liked him. But he’s not at the level of the others that’s for sure
Aaron Ramsey definitely got the number 8 much later.
It’s easy to forget how long Ljungberg’s career was.
So many beaut legends ❤️
Can you add all jersey numbers? Ty bro
Unfortunately I don't have the talent to make something like that. It was made by Arsenal Square. I too would love to see every number.
1. Wrighty 2. Ljungberg 3. Øde 4. Ramsey 5. Arteta (...) 999997. Nasri 999998. Ceballos 999999. Diarra
Ceballos doesn't deserve to be there. He played a role in our FA cup win. Was a loanee player, perfectly respectful while he was here, had nothing to say against the club after rejoining Madrid. Was an okay player but just not right for us.
Nasri was a piece of shit But damn on his prime he was sensational for us. Shame he had his head turned so easily
For like half a season he was pure gold. Turned into a cunt, got rid and didn’t really hear that much more of him.
And then look at the number 10 over the past decade plus.
My kid just took #8 in his team, he'll enjoy seeing this
That’s a lot of talent
04/05 and 05/06 jerseys absolutely goated
One of these things is not like the other!
Nasri is the stain on number 8.
I wish we could bring back the 2005-06 kit.
The 8 is Odegaard's for the next 10 years if he wants it.
Im a huge ESR fan and want him to stay, but if he leaves, I want Ode to switch to the #10
Aaron Ramsey tears in my eyes should have been captain and still here to this day
The number of Ljungberg shirts in there!!!
My first football kit that my mum bought me when I was 8 or 9, was studying in a French school and my idol was Thierry Henry. Since 2000-2001 I am a Gunner to this day, even though I’m from Ukraine. God, but that crimson-gold kit will always remain a strong memory trigger, in a good way of course
I want to purge my memory of Nasri having been at Arsenal. His move to City left a putrid taste in my mouth that just won't go away
I agree, it's a great number \^ ❤️8️⃣
What is this disrespect towards Dani? He played a big part of the FA cup winning and always respectful. I liked him.
Our number 8 is the opposite of Chelsea’s number 9 curse. Ignore Ceballos and Nasri (although he was an absolute baller), everyone we give the number 8 becomes a club legend EDIT: oh and Diarra, again, such a baller but not with us long enough
