He's right in my book. Might as well go to Celtic or Rangers.

Yeah, because the PL has never been a two-horse race. Chelsea and United didn't divide the title between them over the last 6 years, and likewise ourselves and United before that. :wink:

I can't remember the exact words but Arsène said something like this back in 2005 when Chelsea were defending champions "4-5-1 is not the true way to play football because it is boring and you only have one striker. Fans don't come to a match to see that."

A year later, Arsène played 4-5-1 religiously.

That should actually make us very happy: his 2002 prophecies (we'll go a whole season unbeaten) came a year too early. Now that would mean for the latter... :wink:

Would welcome yesterday's bottle, if anyone get's it.
:lol: No kidding. What the **** is up with that?

"I said Vodka! Get this weak **** outta here!"
:lol: Ant....I see how that came out. I just meant "get us a picture of yesterday's bottle job"! as in: see if you can get it. Get it? (Wenger's bottle job. just to be sure).
you are miles ahead of me. :lol:

Did you get it/the commentary then, flobaba? 'Cause I'm still stumped by it. Thought I had it right from the get go actually. :lol:

Lol. Yuvken, Please, Never ever try to explain your jokes again. Ever. :)
Errr. I wasn't explaining a joke - merely saying I was not joking in the first place :roll: it somehow came out funny, but I didn't even mean to be funny there.

Maybe it was me then - I was agreeing with you, yuvken, over the water bottles and wondering why Wenger's gone on a rampage against them. He was my invented quote.

Great thread, here are some of my favourites which I remember.


“If you do not believe you can do it then you have no chance at all”

“We lost two points today. Looking again at the positions at the back, we deserved to be punished.”

[In response to Sir Alex Ferguson's claim that he possessed the best team in the league despite Arsenal winning the title in 2002] "Everyone thinks they have the prettiest wife at home."

[To journalists regarding Ferguson] "What I don't understand is that he does what he wants and you are all at his feet."

[On losing the lead of the league in November 2004] "It's like a child who is used to having ice cream whenever he wants. When it doesn't come when he asks he tends to get confused and nervous."

"We were considering him [Ruud van Nistelrooy] and Francis Jeffers and, in the end, we went for Jeffers."

Love this guy, will never forget him :lol:

what did he say last year i think it was?

something along the lines of, "we will win a trophy this year"

lets not forget "fourth place is like a trophy"

and my personal favourite, "Like a new signing"

From his post Man U match interview:

"I don't think we failed to deliver; we lost a game and that can happen here."

What did we deliver then? :|
I missed it whatever it was :)

did wenger ever actually say that someone returning was like a new signing? I only remember arsenal.com having it in an article or two, but never him saying it.

Some of my favs:

"When I first came to Arsenal, I realised the back four were all university graduates in the art of defending. As for Tony Adams, I consider him to be a doctor of defence. He is simply outstanding."

"As long as no-one scored, it was always going to be close."

"Gerard is an open-minded and passionate man. I am the opposite: stubborn and stupid. But sometimes stupid behaviour makes you win." OR NOT

"We do not buy superstars. We make them."
 

Arsenal Quotes

People say why I did lie on the floor after the goal, they think I was tired. But I think I was a lot cleverer than people thought.
