Wrighty should definitely have a statue, it’s a disgrace that he hasn’t one already.

A statue of George Graham? Two titles. A Cup Double. And a European Trophy. Plus Anfield 89. No brainer for me.

Re: THE WENGER THREAD
I'm really really torn on this. Firstly George should have got a statue long before Wenger - even though I don't really agree with giving living people statues at all tbh.xgtdec wrote: ↑Sat Jul 29, 2023 8:00 pmhttps://www.arsenal.com/news/arsene-wen ... es-stadium

Also, I cannot bring myself to hate Arsene the way many of you do. That first ten years he made us the most attractive footballing team in the history of the English game, and whilst winning trophies, unlike the wet sham murderers or the scum and their pathetic "we might not win anything but we play the game right" horseshit ethos.
But then Arsene alienated me with that last ten years. He lied to the fans repeatedly and he put his own ego before the good of the club. Having said that though the owners were more at fault for not sacking him. I've always said it, Arsene wasn't the problem, he was a symptom of a wider disease in the club.
I wish he'd retired in 2008. He'd have gone out a legend and still be loved by every Arsenal fan. It's a real pity it went to shit like it did.

Trouble is he still believes he was so virtuous in those last years
He was quoted as saying he gave his life to Arsenal and spent every minute of it for the good of the club……..absolute bollocks.

Re: THE WENGER THREAD
I think he actually believes he did that. Only he knows what he believed to be the best thing. I’m sure every manager does what they believe to be the best thing but it doesn’t mean that it turns out to be the case.
My view of Wenger is similar to DB10. The only difference being that at times I think he took the flack for decisions made at board level. I saw a recent interview with him where he was saying that his loyalty was his biggest failing as there were times when he should have said no to board decisions, but didn’t.

Re: THE WENGER THREAD
Surely there should be a Chapman Statue , he made the club what it is today , is the bust still around ?
Agree George should have one to , just a bust for Wenger as half his tenure was shit so only half a statue ......
