Bad news Sir C. The Arsenal we all knew and loved is no more. In case you missed it, it expired a few months ago.Quote:

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

Meanwhile, England's captain, leader and heartbeat celebrates the Invincibles.

Not sure about the Wakanda Forever salute but there you go :shrug:
At least he hasn’t done the cringeworthy once a gunner always gunner line that the likes of Cesc churned out.
