The good news just keeps on rolling, I am literally oiling myself in excitement this season.
Cannot wait to lose at the weekend and get back to a hateful perspective on life.
Freddie Ljungberg has kept us all guessing on the touchline this season.
Who is he?
Why is he there?
What is he thinking?
Does he still wear CK?
The big question for me is how the hell he managed to convince Bouldy to swap jobs… BUT, it happened and the bench is looking very exciting because it’s a touch different this year.
Then the main man Joe Willock drops this to the press:
“Every day I’m working with him & learning from him. He’s improved my whole overall game. If I’m being specific, getting in the pockets when I’m playing No 10 & attacking at No 8. He showed me a lot of different tactics to get space & turn to attack teams”
SHOOT IT UNDER MY TOE NAILS.
It gets better…
“Freddie is not only such a legend at the club. He’s an unbelievable manager & coach. He’s a mentor for me. He showed me a lot behind the scenes that people don’t really know about”
Like three g’s of fentanyl under my gums…
I love that Freddie is making an impact on the young players coming through. He’s relevant, he’s a winner and he seems extremely personable. That’s going to be a huge help for Emery this season. I can’t remember which young player said it, but I read that the Spaniard has outsourced comms to the Swede. In the world of power stratagems, that move feels risky, but at least someone is giving them clear instructions.
I would love to have the inside line on why that move happened… I like it regardless.
In other news, David Ornstein dropped an elbow on the internet, securing a superb exclusive with Josh K. The heir to many shares spoke about the club in an impressive manner for the second time in a month and the messages were clear.
My takeaways:
- KSE is taking Arsenal seriously
- Josh is invested in galvanising the fans and he wants to win our trust
- He takes a personal interest in Arsenal because ‘football’ is his number one love
- We are going to be proactive in January
The interview is here, take a read if you haven’t.
There has been some sneering online about him, but you have to take him on his actions, not his words.
Since he’s been more seriously involved, we’ve sacked Wenger, hired Emery, hired and fired a Chief Scout, brought in a Technical Director, blown at the very least £120m, and we’ve increased our wage bill by a chunk.
You cannot criticise that.
You can dig out decisions, sure, and I have done exactly that. But opinions are like personal choice in milk, everyone’s got one… and not everyone chooses the elite flavorings of oat.
The club seems to be moving in the right direction. There’s still a lot of work to do, there are going to be tears along the way, but we are buying expensive players, blooding youth, and spending some f*cking money.
It’s all you can ask for… until you reset expectations and lead a protest, naked, covered in the blood of a slain lamb.
Until that moment comes, let’s see if Josh can continue to drive the club forward.
Listen to my damn podcast, right now. x
Freddie
Well we have a whole new team and structure so let’s see what emery can do with him
I really don’t think he’s that bad and I know we missed him when he played cb and left back for a while last season which is why he was our steight back into midfield when emery could get him there
Either way I think emery is a fan so I’d expect to see a lot more of him this season
Also
David Luiz is known to gift goals so let’s not be in hurry to chastise a young man who deposit his faults cares about winning more than many of our fair weather players
Anyway chaps
I’m off to the beach
Take it easy
I am off to the bitch. That bitch is gonna get it.
Fascinating news.
“Cannot wait to lose at the weekend and get back to a hateful perspective on life.”
By “life”, Pedro meant “Emery”.
But but but… what is Freddie’s philosophy?
I’m guessing he’s a Neoplatonist – hopefully more a Pico della Mirandola than a Giordano Bruno!
“They have been spending quite significantly since they took full control. Also, in a respectful way, I do get the feeling they were more ready to invest significantly in the post-Arsene Wenger era. When they could mould the club structure around their own ideas rather than the all-powerful manager.”
I concur Freddie.hopefully another 2/3 wasters gone by end of European window.Too late for sat,sadly.
I didn’t want to believe my father was stealing from his job as a road worker but when I went home, all the signs were there.
Xhaka will start against pool. I’m certain of it unfortunately
Our wage bill is down no?
“SHOOT IT UNDER MY TOE NAILS.
Laughed like an idiot on the tube
Thanks, P!

Yeah think it went down. Cech, Koscielny, Lichtsteiner, Ramsey, Welbeck all decent earners in the 100k range.
Receding ironically you yourself are over-rating Spurs when you ask why Poch has not been taken to task for not winning anything. This is a team that last won a league title in the early 1960s. They only won the equivalent of Europa League back in the 80s. They were known as a cup team in the 80s which basically means they were never good enough or consistent enough to win the league. Reaching a CL final and getting top four consistently in the recent past is heady stuff for Spurs remember that. Calls for them that they must win… Read more »
Guendouzi taking over from Xhaka can’t come soon enough.
Okay. Wage bill goes down, great! Offers new big deals for 30+ Auba with no sell on and 28/29 for Laca. We have to stop doing this shit.
Players should get a wage and then 100% have to earn a payrise. Players should have to be bribed with money for performances.
We need hungry animals who will give blood for the club, not mercs.
Arsenal have had to increase headroom in the tunnel after the signing of Luiz. Apparently if him and Gued are in the same space at the same time, the team and officials etc can’t get down to the pitch.
More money.
Agree Ishola, last season was one of Spurs’s greatest season’s EVER. Ok so they finished 2nd back in 80’s once. 1961….black and white and all that. They barely ever have a better season/team than Arsenal let alone other sides that win the league. They are doing exceptionally well for them but not compared with clubs that regularly win things. It was a DVD season for them last year. Hopefully this is as ‘high’ as they go and they will slip back to fighting for 6th place with Everton and whoever. They have been overachieving from a perspective of size of… Read more »
Ishola Spurs are not in a battle against their history
They have a squad good enough to have won something period
I don’ care about their History
“Agree Ishola, last season was one of Spurs’s greatest season’s EVER. ”
Because they lost in the Champions league final?? LOL gimme a break
We have never won the Champions league either
Was 2005/2006 one of our greatest seasons ever?? We did lose in the champions league final didn’t we?
“Agree Ishola, last season was one of Spurs’s greatest season’s EVER.”
Are we on Le Grove ?? Just asking…
Someone seems to have cum on what the Spuds have achieve last season, I just find that a bit weird…
Ajax lost in the Semi finals narrowly to Spurs
They are having to play two qualifying rounds to get to the group stages. No one cares who the beaten finalists were, one win against Brighton at home for Arsenal and Spurs will be in the Europa league. Greatest season ever!!!!
Receding Their squad is not good enough though is it to win the league because Man City and Liverpool have clearly better squad and overall players. Even though they reached CL final on paper again they don’t have the squad to win that really. Please don’t fall back on FA Cup talk and Carabooboo talk. It’s small time talk now in comparison to league titles and champions league. These lesser cups may be more Spurs level but they are not imperative for them to win. History is always important Receding in looking at a clubs realistic aims and ambitions unless… Read more »
Jadon Sancho new contract at Dortmund worth £190k a week.
No one cares who the beaten finalists were
Said the same thing yesterday…
And agree with Ishola on Spurs. Proper deluded fans!!!!!!!!
They still don’t get it Bob.
They think we are praising Spurs when in reality it is the complete opposite.
That’s what insecurity does for you.
Auba hasn’t been earning a pay rise?
Without subs we’d have come 8th last year…
Without auba*
“Please don’t fall back on FA Cup talk and Carabooboo talk. It’s small time talk now in comparison to league titles and champions league. These lesser cups may be more Spurs level but they are not imperative for them to win” Spurs fan will agree with you then sob quietly in private. Come down from your high perch, most Arsenal fans were very very happy to win the recent FA cup finals. This is a golden generation for Spurs led by a “world class” manager, absolutely nothing but big talk to show for it. Leicester had their miracle, very soon… Read more »
Yeah think it went down. Cech, Koscielny, Lichtsteiner, Ramsey, Welbeck all decent earners in the 100k range
And they are gone ergo our wage bill is down.
As for the supposed new deals for Auba and co well he deserves it and to be fair I was against the idea of a new deal so soon after joining for Guendouzi but he is improving and 70k ain’t a potential hamstring to us so it’s okay honestly
Receding The game now is all about the money. You know that. I know that. The real money is in the top four of EPL and CL participation. This big money coming in can give hopes in the future that those big titles could actually be won. FA and Carabooboo cups are also cups now. And Spurs are in the big money sphere in getting top four and CL participation. It really is good enough for them. You should relax otherwise people will think you are secretly irritated about Spurs for some weird reason. No reason to be. They are… Read more »
If spurs only aim for top 3 because they’re not good enough to win the biggest titles, and they don’t win small titles because they’re focusing on top 3 and going far in the CL, then they never will create any meaningful modern history It’s as empty as arsenal celebrating the top 4 trophy for so many years whilst the cabinets were bare. No one gave a damn about us and over the years our reputation got worse rather than better. The best thing for spurs is to try and balance where they are realistically. Win a few lesser cups… Read more »
“They think we are praising Spurs when in reality it is the complete opposite.”
Really??
Aren’t you one of those already surrendering third place to Spurs before a ball is kicked??
“You should relax otherwise people will think you are secretly irritated about Spurs for some weird reason. No reason to be. They are what they are.”
I am well relaxed thanks
And yes i am irritated by the praise they get on here from some posters, same people who will scrutinize anything Arsenal to find a way to suck the joy out of it. Yourself being one of them, i am not surprised you are jumping to their defense
Receding
Spurs are clearly rivals to Arsenal for a top four place and could well finish above them again this season. It may happen. It may not.
That is not praising them that is stating reality.
You are going off on another tangent now.
I completely agreed with you when you stated that Spurs were being over-rated in relation to the top of the EP table but places down to third and fourth no they are not being over-rated.
Oh he’s fucking crackers. Shilling short. Half a picnic.
Me and Bob belittle Spurs as one should by pointing out their paltry football history and mocking them in relation to what they are doing at present and we are accused of defending them.
Put your poms poms down Receding and get a clue.
Old Dench is on the warpath today, already dissing Nasri in nother article and now it’s Xhaka, Mustafi and Mikhis turn. Jenks got a sideswipe as well. Lol.
He’s not wrong though he forgot to mention Ozil.

Quick glance at Le Grove today and someone is ranting about Poch.
Then you see who it is and all makes sense. Odd flex though given the same guy continually harps back to Emery’s Valencia days as proof he’s mustard.
Spurs are performing as they are on lunch money, in the most competitive league in the world. Denying Pochettino’s class as a manager is pure flat earth tactics.
Quick glance indeed
RH
Getting to a CL final is massive for a small club like Spurs, their best achievement in almost 60 years.
When we got to the CL final and lost it was a disappointment, we should have won that game. We also have a history so although a runners up medal in the CL was more than we’ve done since or before in Europe it was not the pinnacle of our achievements in the last half a century.
Spurs have nothing else to show for their purple patch and soon that will be over too.
“Oh he’s fucking crackers. Shilling short. Half a picnic.Me and Bob belittle Spurs as one should by pointing out their paltry football history and mocking them in relation to what they are doing at present and we are accused of defending them.Put your poms poms down Receding and get a clue.”
You actually half very little of substance to say when the issue isn’t Xhaka
if you don’t understand the point being made, move on, no need for silliness

Freddie the issue i am trying to raise is this
I have read on here how Spurs have third place nailed down and it is between Chelsea, Arsenal and United to fight for fourth.
Question is why is third place so certain for Spurs?? On the evidence of last season they were lucky to finish fourth
My post was saying, that this is pretty much as good as it gets for Spurs. t’s called a back handed compliment. I was acknowledging their comparative success last season but being slightly patronising at the same time saying this is is as good as it gets. Alderwield and Eriksen have them over a barrel. Either Spurs have to sell in the next couple of weeks for hopefully a reduced price, weakening their squad significantly or they lose them for nothing at the end of the season. It’s a lose/lose. There is an argument they should prioritise the PL because… Read more »
No Receding you don’t understand. If you can’t see that Bob and myself were actually mocking Spurs then that is your own issue no-one else’s. I was on here slating Spurs to high heaven which should be done when it was implied that they could win a CL title. I was on here the other day saying that Man City absolutely slaughtered them the other week and you have the nerve to state that I am “defending” them. Take these confused issues up that you have with Spurs with posters like Dissenter or TR7. These are posters that are more… Read more »

They did collapse hard at the end of the season, even worse than us I think. Poch gets a pass for that apparently even though he clearly had a much better squad than Emery had at his disposal, I guess that’s how it is if you’re deemed to have sauce.
I don’t think Spurs are nailed on for third, their squad is more settled than ours and more balanced but we’re much closer than last season so we have every chance to overtake them if we can keep our key players fit.
Interview with King Henry about his time as coach at Monaco:
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2019/08/21/exclusive-thierry-henry-interview-still-believe-can-successful/
Interesting that he had a better win percentage than saucy Jardim despite the worst injury record in Monacos history and the fact that Jardim got 8 new players in the January window as Henry was kicked out.
Hope someone gives him another chance soon at a club not in turmoil, would love to see him succeed off the pitch as well.
It was predicted by many including myself that Henry will fail as a manager. I don’t even hold my breath for him to succeed because he is egocentric and the moment he does a job half well he’ll be considered for taking our club which I wouldn’t want to happen. I’d rather watch Arteta (and that says a lot) than Titi tbh. Then we have PV4, Ljungberg, Sol and co. They have the human qualities to succeed. Now if they were to become fantastic in their jobs, I’d have all the time in the world for them.
Denying Pochettino’s class as a manager is pure flat earth tactics.
Not wanting to wade into the shit you and Receding got going on on a daily basis but don’t you completely dismiss one manager despite winning 10 trophies and yet here you are proclaiming the class of another despite winning zero trophies. Both 47. What gives?
That was good interview with Josh K, I just hope his stories about playing football when young and he wakes up early to watch matches are true and not bullsh*t to soothe gooners.
“Not wanting to wade into the shit you and Receding got going on on a daily basis but don’t you completely dismiss one manager despite winning 10 trophies and yet here you are proclaiming the class of another despite winning zero trophies. Both 47. What gives?” Pochettino has proven he can take a team from point A to point B (or whatever the nonsense), Let’s ignore the fact Spurs qualified for the Champions league twice under Harry and reached the quarter finals. But hey Pochettino is doing it on “lunch money” but Emery was spending boat loads at Valencia to… Read more »
raptora
Spot on regarding Thierry. I don’t think he’s the type to coach/manage a top level side. He’s an intelligent guy and very driven, but he can’t oversee a group. He’d make a great specialist coach though. Lukaku and Hazard love him for Belgium. He’s helped them in aspects of forward play. Not the first elite player who has struggled as a manager. Platini, Maradona did as well.
Marko
Not wanting to wade in, but in you wade? How very Marko of you.
I’d give you time of day if you managed to provide an accurate account of my views and had genuine questions on hand. But that’s not the case, so let me go ahead and let you continue to ‘not wade’, but with someone else willing to give you oxygen.
Kroenke Jr. Is a big fan of Thierry Henry.
“Both 47. What gives?”
The grass is always greener elsewhere for a lot of people, Marko.
Poch is way overrated, he’s won nothing important in his managerial career while Emery has won lots but apparently he failure because his lack of charisma.
Arsenal were eccentric assembled squad when Emery arrived and he still was able to keep us in top four contention right till end of season, his first season was a success.
This CG chap is the biggest bullshitter on this blog
Unai Emery took Lorca Deportivo to the second division for the first time in their history, they were relegated back once he left.
He guided Almeria to La Liga for the first time in their history finishing eight in their debit season in La Liga
Then in the midst of serious financial troubles at Valencia he led them to three successive third place finishes
But Champagne Charlie insists he has never led a club to new grounds before nor over achieved so it must be gospel
Dream 10 – surely all Arsenal supporters are big fans of TH14.
I like your idea of making Henry specialist coach, I could see him being good at that, but not everyone has temperament to manage a large group of failure. I was disaster at managing people at my workplace, didn’t last six months and I asked for my old job back.
Large group of failure = large group of people.
his first season was a success.
——————–
If you mean by taking the club from 6th to 5th!!
A Spurs supporting mate of mine wrote on facebook about what an amazing season Spurs had. I told him that Man C had an amazing season, Spurs had an ok one.
Emery’s 3 Europa League titles in a row absolutely eclipses anything that Poch has done so far in his career. Sevilla is probably even a smaller team than spuds, having won La Liga once and the Spanish cup 5 times in their history. Emery’s PSG time proves to be more successful than that of the LeGrove sweetheart Tuchel. People who claim that Poch and Tuchel with their nothing football but somehow they have a philosophy and Emery doesn’t. Mind you Poch’s style is a pain to watch. Pep is untouched at the top of the mountain but even Klopp managed… Read more »
“But Champagne Charlie insists he has never led a club to new grounds before nor over achieved so it must be gospel“ There it is, full Emery Pom Poms out after the digs at Poch in indirect defence of the man you love. Both great achievements, but neither provide any substance as to whether he’s capable of taking a club the size of Arsenal from 5th to title winners inside a modest period of time with a strategy he holds dear – which is actually the view I’ve stated time upon time. Not your bs version. So I’m clear, are… Read more »
Charles your ability to hold a train of thought or follow up on an opinion is quite something. It was a genuine question how come you’re totally dismissive of one 47 year old manager who’s won 10 trophies but at the same time out of the blue feel the need to talk up another 47 year old manager despite not winning anything. Can you explain that? It’s okay if you choose not to it wouldn’t surprise me if you avoided it
Danny – I think Emery first season was success because he improved on Wenger final season and things didn’t go tits up like they have at manure since Fergie retired. Final month of season was a disaster, I agree, and hopefully Emery has learned from experience.
“but at the same time out of the blue feel the need to talk up another 47 year old manager despite not winning anything. “
Out the blue? Receding has talked about Poch all day and I make a comment stating Poch is class and I’m dropping his name out of the blue…
Same as yesterday was it that I was obsessive about Emery despite simply quoting from a press conference Pedro had included in his daily piece?
Champion you are. This is the reason you’re given no air, you’re a waste of it.
“Emery earned his berth at his next clubs for that work, nobody is arguing anything different. But up came the level and despite your waxing lyrical of his time at Valencia he finished no better than 3rd, and no closer than 19 or 21 points (I don’t recall) to the big two in Spain – Simeon’s did that inside 1 full season, and won the thing inside 3.” Have Valencia won the title since he left …No thought not. We are not discussing Simeone here, he is a level above Emery and two above Pochettino “Then at Sevilla he didn’t… Read more »
“Out the blue? Receding has talked about Poch all day and I make a comment stating Poch is class and I’m dropping his name out of the blue…”
Topic today was Spurs and the praise they receive and the belief they are nailed on for third…not Pochettino
“This CG chap is the biggest bullshitter on this blog”
Thanks a lot Archie, we didn’t know that fact.
Hopefully the Monaco experience will teach TH14 a measure of humility. It will make him not only a better coach but a better man.
N’Golo Kante, should he wish to will become a top coach, you heard it here first! Apparently he is well loved by wherever he goes. During the WC 2018, despite being a key lynchpin of the winning side he shunned the limelight — giving credit to the team than drawing attention to himself.
I love that.
What a miss by Wenger. He is the player we should have signed rather than Xhaka for sure.
Hairline,
Got fired from your job, fella?
Out the blue? Receding has talked about Poch all day and I make a comment stating Poch is class and I’m dropping his name out of the blue… Yes out of the blue. He was in conversation with someone else you didn’t have to get involved but you did. Again another post made without any substance. Again it was a genuine question on my behalf either you’re incapable of answering said question or you’re such a weasel that you’d avoid answering any sort of question that makes you look like the agenda driven dickhead that you are… sorry I meant… Read more »

You seem to have an issue with poster posting on here, get a life!!
Learn Italian and find a Juventus blog where the topic is Ramsey, stop shaming people for posting too much on an Arsenal blog. If you cannot construct more than a few sentences at a time others do not have that disability
“The kind of talk above we mocked Wenger for, but it’s Pochettino so it’s cool, he has sauce“
Yea no mention of Poch at all by you, you were talking Spurs.
Is the talk of philosophy in football management a bit too heavy and overboard for the most part? For example, could one say Rinus Michels had a philosophy, then Johann Cruyff and now Guardiola? These are ideas passed on through coach to player and so forth, tweaked as they go to suit modern times. Or is this what is known as a DNA in a football club? Perhaps too much emphasis is placed on this. I am happy to see Arsenal adapting and properly preparing for opponents under Emery, as this was not happening under Wenger. I would worry if… Read more »

Yea that one comment above took the whole day to write, it translates to talking about Pochettino the whole day..abeg shift
So whenever the topic is Pochettino you jump in to extol his virtue, proper rim job.
Marko
Everyone gets your deep and thoughtful take, both Poch and Emery are 47 so they’re like, the same and that.
Just like two 21 year old footballers are the same, and definitely not two different players with different ceilings to their ability. No, that would be madness. They’re both 21, so they’re the same.
On another note I strongly recommend you to read ‘The Shithouse’ files on Planet Football if not already. They are a hoot and a nice trip down memory lane. Authors humour is highly amusing.
One example. Links to the others on the same page. https://www.planetfootball.com/nostalgia/the-shithouse-files-ronald-koeman-v-england-when-the-ref-bottled-it/
I mean talking about Emery’s teams playing drab football and bringing Pochettino’s name to the party… Come on. It’s been done a million times. His record transfer is Ndombele. Other players he got for a lot of money include Sissoko for mind blowing 32m pounds, Janssen, Wanyama, Llorente, Alli, Dier. He’s started games with Wanyama, Dier and Alli, or Dier, Sissoko, Alli. Guy has an idea in his mind. And it’s not a pretty one. Of course I prefer to win than to play pretty football and lose. So I don’t mind whoever playing whatever football. But Poch’s style is… Read more »
Emery treaded water in his first season. Brought in because of his Europa Cup know how and pedigree he bungled his way to the final. Than he completely blew it. However, the truth is we should have had 4th place wrapped up before we even got there. On paper, we had the easiest run of games with 8 games to go in the League and Emery shot himself in the foot by pathetically underestimating the likes Crystal Palace and Brighton. He has been given a reprieve by the Kronkes. I just hope he has learnt from his mistakes and we… Read more »

“Just like two 21 year old footballers are the same, and definitely not two different players with different ceilings to their ability. No, that would be madness. They’re both 21, so they’re the same.” One of the lamest analogies ever and that’s saying something Both 47 year old managers yet one has peaked after 10 trophies while the other still has a higher ceiling to go on and win things (not just with Spurs, their history forbids it) There are five years apart in their coaching careers, Emery started 2004 at a lower level, Pochettino started 2009 in La Liga.… Read more »

Lovely post Pierre although i disagree on the success bit for Spurs. They have not had any success recently. Walker was part of the Spurs team, he has won five trophies in two years of leaving, he has had success not Spurs.
Posters on this blog who abused and mocked Arsenal fans for celebrating three FA Cups in four seasons now bending over backwards to praise Spurs for top four finishes should not be tolerated
Hah! Pocchettini has ceiling same way as Walcott did.

Now- Oh Everton is his level, oops

Mummy should kick you out of the basement and stop paying your bills.
Receding What Valencia, Sevilla, and PSG have done since Emery is of little relevance. The facts worth chewing over are very much the fruits of his labour whilst at the respective clubs. But to answer you, Sevilla finished 4th the season after Emery departed and had finished 7th. Valencia have finished 4th the last two seasons in a La Liga era that includes Simeone’s Atletico, where previously it was a two horse race. Your point? Did he take any of them from outsiders for the league to champions? No. Did he develop an identity he’s revered for? No. Wonder what… Read more »
Rambo Ramsey – I think many of frequent posters do have a life, they just bored at work and leaving comments here is distraction from drudgery of office work. There are one or two cranks but for most part, I would be quite happy to have a pint or three after work hours with most people here.
“…if it’s to develop a modern identity and develop a strategy for winning the league then maybe it’s not quite out of the realms of sense to suggest Emery might not be up to such a task? Have doubts even?”
Would Pochettino be up the task???
RH
I was making the point that Tottenham have had no success compared to Arsenal’s so called poor recent period.
Though I do rate pochettino as a manager for the work he has done at Tottenham.
RH.
“Would Pochettino be up the task???”
I think he would.
jwl,
Good man.
ION, gotta laugh at Alexis. Shocking plummet he’s taken. Imagine having a worse output than lazy Ozy.
Perfectly reasonable to have doubts over Emery, also totally fine to want to see how this season plays out. I do believe we will see improvement in performance and points.
If not, I highly doubt he would receive a contract extension, given the apparent change of ambition and attitude in the club stemming from Josh Kroenke.
“Did he take any of them from outsiders for the league to champions? No.”
Did Poch do this at any of his jobs??? NO
“Did he develop an identity he’s revered for? No.”
What identity is Pochettino revered for??
The only thing Emery is revered for, one of the few men to win three European trophies in a row, you have done your very best to downplay. It’s apparently not good enough for Arsenal, Arsenal’s last European trophy?? 1994 (Cup winners Cup Abolished). Wenger’s last European trophy?? None
they finished 2nd back in 80’s once
