Country: England
What a great show, so many Arsenal legends gathered in one place. Dermot was a superb interviewer. Loved his line, ‘Top 4 certainly seems like a trophy now Arsène’, and the audience clapped.
Clive Anderson was pretty funny during the auction too? David Dein getting stuff off his chest, ‘The club should never have let Arsène go’, ‘Here he is Head of World Football Devolpment for FIFA but there there wasn’t even a place him at Arsenal football club’.
Wrighty was excellent and the touching stuff from Henry about Arsène being his dad at the club was genuine affection.
The respect for the man shown by all the ex players and stars present such a contrast to the abuse he got from all those ***ing ****** on social media. Helps to heal seeing Arsenal united as a family with people who really understand football talking sense and celebrating the best period in Arsenal’s history ever. Terrific show.
I am trying to find a way to word it, but events and personnel like tonight, the stuff we grew up on compared to what some of us feel almost obligated to follow today.. it's almost like two different clubs man.
A few exceptions aside like Wrighty, there is no chance you could get a lot of the people there tonight and people currently at the club in the same room. Says a lot.
Tonight was a celebration but it really highlighted my disconnect from the club at present really.
