    His natural home tbf.. A sort of, midfield Julian Dicks.. They will love him over there, trust me on this one.

    And quite right too

    I expect some said the same on the day that the Spion Kop replaced the pile of old carts behind the goal in Plumstead, or when the East Stand was built.

    Julian Dicks was a strange one. They absolutely loved him and I assumed for years that he was a dyed-in-the-wool cockerney hardman, since he absolutely looked the part. Then I heard him interviewed and he had this soft, lilting Bristol accent. It absolutely ruined the whole image for me.

    Arsene destroyed plenty of aspects of our club's traditions and made us better. His departure will hopefully do the same.

    If I was going to select one point where the Arsenal I grew up with finally died it would be the day we sold out to the Yank.
    The Arsenal of my childhood is not something we'd want back, at least not on the pitch.

    I'd say the Yank sell out was the mortal blow, but the final breath was AW's departure.

    In a sense, the building of the East Stand was the day the club became an adult. (Analogy is wearing thin here)

    Surely, the day GG was sacked? Like the Yank, let's not forget that Wenger may have been a visionary but at source, still an interloper bearing none of the clubs dna.
    Once a positive force but ultimately ousted through diminishing returns.
    The club is simply continuing along that path. I make no distinction between foreign owner or foreign coach in respect of the clubs traditions.
