The BBC's Pick You Greatest Arsene XI

[Tony C]

I ended up picking most of the invincibles i.e. Lehmann, Lauren, Sol, Adams, Silvinho (who I just loved), Freddie, Parlour, Vieira, Pires, Bergkamp and Henry.

Everyone's will be more or less along those lines so how about this - What's your Bestest-Shi*ttest Arsene XI

Got to be some real gems in here!! Here's mine:

Rami Shabaan starts in goal...his best position

Justin Hoyte at right back
Nelson Vivas at right centre half
Oleg Luzhny at left centre half
Juan at left back

Luis Boa Morte on the right
Denislon aka the Brazilian David Batty in midfield
Grimandi (C)
Alberto Mendex on the left

Yaya Sanogo and Kaba Diawara the two strikers

I think this qualifies as one of the bestest shi*ttest Arsene sides of all time imo

Personally think Wenger never gave the Vivas-Oleg centrehalf axis much chance imo...played them 1 game there and we won 4-2 vs Sparta Prague.

[Tony C]

by the way...to this day...even with some of the horrific misses our strikers have done (Germissio vs Bradford being the stuff of nightmares) Kaba Diawara was perhaps the most unluckiest and most costliest for us.

Jesus fkin Christ...he did everything but score for us...it was incredible.

Think on that faithful night at Ellend Road when we more or less lost the Championship he hit the bar at a very crucial stage too.

Ridicules to have an Arsene worst XI and not have Stepanovs at centre half imo. And that other fella who arrived with Kos was crap, too. French chap.

It's the Bestest-Shi*ttest bit the Worsest-Shi*ttest imo

[IUFG]

Squillaci? **** wasn't he?

Senderos, Djourou, Cygan, Tavlaridis, similarly ****.

I can't believe you left Park Chu-Young out.

I can't believe you left Park Chu-Young out.

That was a bloody odd one, wasn't it? I'd love to know what happened there? It's as if the Tesco man delivered players and they hadn't had the one we wanted in stock and they offered a crap replacement and someone signed it off without checking.

Well to be fair we never saw enough of him to know if he was **** or not.

I think AW bought him just for the League Cup as he played more in that than anything else during his time with us :shrug: He scored a good goal too iirc.

The whole thing was weird. Given number 9 then they gave it to Podolski.
Then we never heard anything about him and this whole national service stuff.

[barrybueno]

I'd have to put Almoonia in goal. God I hated that ****ing spastic!

Got an exemption from National Service when they got a bronze in the 2012 Olympics

I can't remember completely but he seemed to play well in that.

I liked his league cup goal it was TH14esque.
