GK: loved Mad Jens but he wasn't really anywhere near as good as Dave for me

RB: Dixon's best days were before Wenger. Lauren was great for a time but Sagna was so consistent for so long

CB: If you don't include Sol you're off your rocker

CB: Adams should have probably been past his peak when Arsène arrived, but improving his health paid wonders and he had a late 90s resurgence under Wenger that just pips Koscielny for me

LB: Obviously Cashley, there's not even a debate. Like so many others, he left under a cloud, but he's still miles ahead in this position.

RM: Considered Overmars and Özil because they're both better footballers than Freddie, but at the end of the day this isn't the position they really play(ed) for us so in the end I opted for Ljungberg

CM: Petit would offer more balance alongside Vieira of course, but even though he's a treacherous snake, Cesc was incredible before his move and remains by far the best young player I've seen coming through our system in my lifetime

CM: Vieira is another pick where I just think if you don't have him, you're flat out wrong

LM: Pires beats out Overmars for me, Marc was brilliant but Pires' goal record from wide was unbelievable and he stuck around for longer and forged a much better legacy

CF: Bergkamp is probably my favourite Arsenal player so I had to include him. Had Anelka or RVP stuck around for longer this choice would be harder, because for a season each they were probably more effective than Dennis ever was. But both fucked off, soured their legacies completely, and as such can't touch a genuine AFC legend.

CF: Utter prick of a man, shit captain, had a tendency to bottle cup finals, and stuck around for a year longer than he should've, but Henry is still the best player of the Premier League era IMO, for any club. His return cameo was lovely too.

Oh, well that makes the Ox reeling away in celebration even more delicious.

I think that was to fool the ref.

 

KOs was offside, but if the ball never touched him and ox claims it as his, then the goal stands.

 

Not offside, ball to hand, goal.

 

Something like that.

Mustafi has been quietly very impressive since getting into the team, all that fuss early in the season about the masterstroke of Bailly at Man Utd and from what I've seen so far Mustafi been equally impressive, if not better.

 

He tidies up very nice and has a calm way about him, its nice to see a CB who doesn't panic whenever the ball comes near him partnering Kos.

 

Know he's not faced the full range of challenges yet but on evidence so far I like him a lot as a player.

I like how aggressive he is, but in a completely controlled way. Him and Kos look solid together, and that should only improve with more games. It's easy to forget he's only 24 as well. It's obviously early days, but he's looking like a fantastic signing.

Mustafi is obviously a better player than Bailly, but he's two years older and Bailly has only really had one season of football. Mustafi has had four solid seasons and managed to look pretty good at Valencia when looking decent at Valencia last season really wasn't easy.

 

If Man Utd trust Bailly and let him make mistakes I don't think there will be much to separate them in a few years, but that's a big if.

 

 

 

Also, lol at Burnley.
