Arsenal had a good four or five years there.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
They really didn't. 1998-2004 were their peak years and by 2006, despite getting to the CL final, they were starting to fade. Bergkamp retired, Henry left and they were gradually replaced with smaller, technical players that just couldn't cut it in the Premier League in the same way. Fabregas and Wilshere aside, the quality dipped and they faded. To claim they 4-5 good years is absurd. Even the most die hard Arsenal fan couldn't dispute that.

What?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorry old boy, you having troubling grasping plan English?

We'll I said they had four or five good years and I'm really not sure what you're saying. Are you saying they didn't?

Yes, they didn't. They moved into the new stadium in 2006, which is when they started to decline. During the 4-5 years you've referenced, they didn't win a single thing. For a club with the history of Arsenal, finishing 4th every season does not constitute "a good year".

I was hoping it was going to be a statue of this

Are you drunk? They definitely did have a few good years under Wenger, it's not even up for debate. I didn't reference any years in particular but it's pretty obvious, imo, that I'm talking about when they were winning leagues.

No statue for Henry Norris?

How do you depict a bribe being handed out in statue form?
