Arsène Wenger statue to be unveiled at the Emirates

[Tnegs]

This is such an unnecessary post here ffs.

This thread is to celebrate a moment. You could have written that in the Wenger or Arteta threads. It’s like someone graffitiing his statue.

It will be alright someday mate trust me. Time heals everything.

Will time teach you posting etiquette as well?

Don't want to tarnish his legacy, his situation was quite different from our now... BUT If someone told be that if we stuck with Arteta for 22 years and and we would get 3 prems and 7 FA cups. I probably wouldn't take it.

It was a tale of 2 decades with Wenger, the first decade was great, the 2nd decade was not.
Could he have done better the 2nd decade, for sure, there are many things he could have done better, I don't know about the inner workings at the club durng the last 10 years either. But not many managers would have done that much better with such a low spending level I think.

Nice statue, I like it.

Ngl, I had buried how much I still miss Wenger and today brought back a ton of memories.This is a nice reminder of his and the club's greatest league season. Next statue has to be of the Invincible captain.

Just packing up my tent, to camp out until the unveiling.

Why am I not surprised that you're comfortable going without regularly scheduled bathing?

 

[Rex Stone]

Deserved from the big man. Face is a bit off imo. How could the greeks do elite marble work 2500 years ago but people can't make better face than that today? Luckily it's good enough.

Yeah why are modern statues so bad ffs?

Not Cristiano “Raoul Moat” Ronaldo level at least. Kind of looks like him.

I've been clean for a long time.

I'd have preferred the old Trafford pose or the current one with a golden statue.

In any case this was long overdue and totally deserved. Hopefully I get to see it soon!

I know stadium name has gone in the way of sponsors names like in the usa but still badly want it to be named after him.

In my opinion the second decade was a remarkable achievement and arguably better.

Getting into Europe constantly whilst challenging star studded Chelsea and Man Utd teams for the title, with a team of mostly young players. What coach has performed like this in football?

Greatest manager of all time, in my opinion.

Clearly made by his dentist.

Deserved it more than anyone associated with Arsenal, the most famous person in our entire club's history...the impact he made in those 22 years, feels like you can never give him enough praise when you think about it.

Hopefully Patrick is up next to get one, he should be next in line imo.

Has Ferguson got a statue at Old Trafford out of interest?

Know they already have one for Howard Webb of course.

I think Maguire is the only statue there but soon he'll be @Dokaka 's problem.

Wenger should have spent more money. He would have been remembered more fondly and might have won another Prem or Champions League.

You ever see Tom Cruise and his original nashers?

Looks like a proper hillbilly.

The first decade was glorious. The second decade was a more impressive accomplishment. Keeping us going, still in the top four, still playing pretty football, on a shoestring budget, while Kroenke's weren't putting money in during their battle with Usmanov and paying off the stadium that was necessary when we committed to it only to find out that TV money would dwarf bums in seats money, is something no other manager could do.

It should be the Arsène Wenger Stadium. Call it the Arsène Wenger Stadium Sponsored by Emirates if it has to.

He showed the world how beautiful the sport could be.
