Well deserved of course.

Spurs have ordered one of Richie lifting the Tiger Cup

He took them into the Champions League in 20 consecutive years. Next season will be their first campaign in the competition without Wenger in charge since the 1991-92 European Cup.

I that true?

Think we should have gone for a just a bust like Herbert Chapman. For some reason I find it that extra bit classier than the statues.

Yes but they have been in European finals without Wenger during that time. I seem to remember them being totally humiliated by ex-Spurs midfielder Nayim from the halfway line. A beautiful moment.

It seems odd to have so many Highbury legends at The Emirates. None of them achieved anything of note really at that stadium so it does seem a little strange.

Arsenal had a good four or five years there.

Halfway line Nowhere near the halfway line, strange how that lie seems to have stood so long.

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.

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.

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