[@sawhotz5341]

@@actv2067 you can't change the past. I know what reputation each player holds at the moment, but the career path they have chosen has played a key role in that too. Remember when Lewandowski was seconds away from joining Blackburn? Imagine what his career would have looked like now. Better? Worse? Or the same? You can't tell. So I guess whatever happened, happened for good.

The greatest footballer in englishh football history. The most mens british player of the year awards ever (PFA/FWA/PL), the most PL golden boots, the only man to win 2 european golden boots over here, 249 GA in 258 PL games. The complete footballer. He had everything. Pace, power, technical excellence, elite finishing and could also create as good as score. He took arsenal to another level. We sign players in 2021 who say they idolise us as a club because of Thierry Henry. If that doesnt tell you enough, then i dont know what will. The GOAT of English football, and the GOAT of Arsenal FC.

[@tek1vatanvar410]

Greetings from Turkey, arsenal supporter, I love arsenal very much and I will always love you, and I am one of you. Henry is absolutely legendary.

[@Carlin-qt4jk]

What a great move to show one of the best signings and playing legend in TH14. What a team too, Adams, Cole, Viera and Bergkamp to name a few under our greatest ever manager. Fast forward 21 years and the club are in an absolute shambles. With a team including Calum 'Donkey' Chambers, Rob Holding, Granit Xhaka and Elneny, it's a sad reality of how far this once great club has fallen to such embarrassing levels under their worse manager in history, the former cone layer Mikel Arteta. Arsenal fans should treasure such moments in history and hold onto them fond memories as tight as you can because them days have all but gone

Arsene Wenger's contribution to Arsenal's history cannot be overstated! He is Arsenal on two feet! A real football legend. It makes me so angry to hear some frauds wipe off the efforts of years claiming "he's been bad since 2015". Some even claim he's been our problem since 2006!!! All those years of fighting, keeping the club steady and playing great football on no money and debts yet some are that ignorant and ungrateful. The least he deserves is for the whole stadium, that he built, to be called The Arsene Wenger Stadium.
