Since we’re doing the Wenger retrospective, how about great mysteries of his era?

Lovely volley that time. Genius.

Sadly it was with his hands and into our goal. :-(

Manuel played a blinder in the Semi Final 1st Leg at OT
Sadly he played like a blindoid in the return game

Rosicky for Pires,
Diaby for Vieira

all similar in stature.
I am sure there were more.

With Cole, Clichy and Gibbs we seemed to be building a dynasty of taupe-coloured left backs. Monreal came along and ruined it. :-(

It's weird how little respect Cole gets. I know he was a gobsh1te, but he was also for many years one of the very best players in his position in the world and proved it consistently at club and international level. And yet his career ended with virtually no recognition.

Tread carefully now.

I think we can good-naturedly laugh at some of his foibles without descending into slating him.

Stepanovs, though. :-(

Don't forget the man who won a competition to play at Left-Back for a year - Andre Santos

Is Nic still around of unfortunately fell of a cliff or something?

I wonder if he ever watched Arsenal fan tv. :-(

:hehe: Oh, yes. I remember when he started the season and we all thought he'd come good when he lost his pre-season weight.

Then he got even fatter. :hehe:

A weird signing that one. Scored at West Brom on the last day to be fair to him.
