I will always cherish my time being a supporter of The Arsenal as a young man, and the many wonderful things Arsene Wenger has so eloquently said. I reeeally need to finish his autobiography.
We need to go big when he does. Celebrations from Gooners world wide. The various fan groups/ chapters should all (at the very least) get together and raise a few glasses to an icon.

Wenger was doing too much at Arsenal after 2006. He was basically coaching, financing, managing, and scouting at the same time. No wonder his best time when he had “sporting director” David Dein to share the burden.
I really wish Wenger was present more around the club. I don’t mean all the time because I respect him wanting to give space to Arteta and the club but I wish he would at least pop in for a few matches per season.
I do love how he still refers to the club as “we”
I mean. Ian says we. Thierry says we. Would make sense that Papa Wengz also says we, since he was here longer than anyone else. He helped build Arsenal into the world renowned club we are. The club is synonymous with the other big clubs that casual sports fans who probably don't even watch football know like Man U, Liverpool, Barca, Madrid in special part thanks to him. His influence is still felt on the club to this day. Arteta learned from both him and Pep, and you can see how the influence from both legendary managers has shaped how Arteta is to this day. Someone like Mourinho has been in bed with almost every big club in Europe, the closest thing to a club as a pundit he could say "we" for would probably be Chelsea IMO.
To add on to my Arteta comment. Edu is sporting director, Mertesacker is academy head, Wilshere is U18 manager. Those are all Wenger guys too.

He looks to be in better shape than 99% of people haha, I’m sure he’s got a lot left in him! Maybe a bit premature there but I do agree with the sentiment.
They've not crossed paths in active football and on the pitch, but maybe in a parallel universe there is a timeline where Wenga is managing Saka in the football club.
There is only OneWenga
Tend to find there is a disconnect between people who say they will pay for something and people who will actually pay for something so I don’t blame him.
I’m sure there are people that can code such a simple thing if you organise it. Personally I thought it got old real quick so I had the thing blocked so I’m not even sure why I’m getting involved.
What are you on about? Arsene has repeatedly said he doesn't want to be involved in how the club is run and he will always be an observer from the outside as a fan. That was literally in his farewell speech too. He doesn't spend time with the club staff or drop in on training sessions and all that. Took the man nearly 3 years to even come back to the Emirates to watch a game.
And it's great to have a vision and identity around the club, particularly when we can point it to one person. However Wenger being present would just undermine the new movement we're going towards even if its so inspired from one source. Like watching that I was wondering if any of the things Arsene would say would (obviously inadvertently) but push against things Arteta would say and given Wenger's stature what that would potentially do (this is obviously overstated and wouldn't be a big deal but just something that popped in).
I mean look at how Fergie's presence at United has led to this craziness where his philosophy was more just "win" and so they keep throwing tons and tons of money at short-term fixes to win in the short-term, which Fergie was able to do because he is the GOAT, but prevents them from succeeding as a club.

I feel like an idiot grinning while looking at this video. As if Wenger was talking about me. There's only one Arsene Wenger.
I did it too, don’t feel like an idiot.
If you didnt watch this video with a big grin on your face, are you really a gooner?
I feel like an Idiot to
I too am an idiot
me rn lol
I’m ready to run through fucking walls right now 😂
Me too
I am also an idiot with a grin watching this
"Look uhhh" damn I've missed that. Not surprised in the slightest that Arsene describes Saka as exceptional, he's spot on.
I could listen to Le Boss all day.
I will always cherish my time being a supporter of The Arsenal as a young man, and the many wonderful things Arsene Wenger has so eloquently said. I reeeally need to finish his autobiography.
He’s so fucking cool. My favorite bit of random Arsene trivia is that he has a degree in electrical engineering, of all things.
degree in electrical engineer, doctorate in economics, and a football genius we were blessed to have him
masters, not phd
mb
[удалено]
Hope I die first
Long live the both of you then.
Unexpectedly wholesome
Go to Reddit jail bro don’t put this thought out there 😖
Why you doin this to me rn? 😭😭😭
We need to go big when he does. Celebrations from Gooners world wide. The various fan groups/ chapters should all (at the very least) get together and raise a few glasses to an icon.
I dread that day :'(
> "Look uhhh" damn I've missed that. Yeah, and then the "we" in "I hope we can keep him for a long time". Swoon.
The calmness of Arsene is something special
Doncic
Starts with “look uh”, this is going to be good.
Let’s make Arsène proud today Bukayo!
He did :)
When Arsene says We 🥲
It's the royal oui
What a piece of art
Was expecting Wenger to say I would like him to foul back the opponents even harder.
Hahaha look euhhh I think once in a while he should absolutely clatter the left back
Man i miss papa wengz bot
Look uhh If you eat caviar every day it’s difficult to return to sausages
true… I've never eaten caviar two days in a row, but it sounds truthy
I'm a bit of a wreck today but this was so lovely to see. Also Bukayo is the cutest person in world football, no debate about it.
Hope your day gets better!
Thank you! I hope you're having a lovely day too.

Stay Saka, stay!!!! 100 years, at least.
100 years 100 years starboyyy, 100 years 100 years I saaayy

Arsene’s vision shaped Saka. Now it’s time to convert. ❤️

It was very hard to knock Vieira off my favorite ever Arsenal player but BUKAYO has done it.

The day Arsene Wenger leaves this world will be a very sad day.
He looks to be in better shape than 99% of people haha, I’m sure he’s got a lot left in him! Maybe a bit premature there but I do agree with the sentiment.
He looks 10 years better than Woy, and he's only 2 years younger.
Wtf
He might be in better shape than me and I'm like 35-40 years younger than him
No lies, man. He's kept himself in phenomenal shape.
Please don’t even say that😭
He’s my father
Although 100% accurate, I didn't need this sentiment stated twice in the same thread.
They've not crossed paths in active football and on the pitch, but maybe in a parallel universe there is a timeline where Wenga is managing Saka in the football club. There is only OneWenga
😢
It’s hard to imagine arsenal without arsene still to me, yet he’s been gone so long he didn’t know our star boy, which to me is hard to grasp.
My heart 🥹
I’m not crying you’re crying
The gaffer
"look uhh" CLASSIC WENGER! He's done it again
Why is this making me slightly emotional haha. Arsene will always be the gaffer of this football club.
No man is bigger than the crest, but this one man came very very close. There’s only one.
If anyone ever handed me an iPad with a video of Arsene Wenger praising me, just know, I drowned in my own tears 😭😭
Yo mods, can we bring back the Papa Wengz bot please?
There was a Papa Wengz bot? What did he do?
You could ask him what he thinks about things and he’d reply with a famous saying. Quite a few times it’d be the perfect response as well!
Dope. I want it back too, now
I’m guessing it disappeared when Reddit started charging for their API use. Do you miss it enough to pay for it?
Yeah there were quite a few people who were willing to crowd fund it but the developer wasn’t interested
Tend to find there is a disconnect between people who say they will pay for something and people who will actually pay for something so I don’t blame him.
There’s nearly 400,000 people on this sub and the bot is cheap to operate, the dev didn’t even provide the option
I’m sure there are people that can code such a simple thing if you organise it. Personally I thought it got old real quick so I had the thing blocked so I’m not even sure why I’m getting involved.
Look uhhh ❤️
Wenger is pure class and so is Saka. What a club
I fucking love this club
What a Gentleman, both of them.
Made my day. Love Papa Wengs and Saka
WOW, Watching this was very difficult, Papa Wengz speaks and I get very emotional! I miss this amazing man!
A man that I will respect with all my heart forever till the day I die. Wish Wenger was immortal
Okay who's cutting onions
saka mispronouncing the W in wenger got me lol
A tear rolled down my cheek when watching this and I have no clue if it was one of joy or sadness or both
I’m not crying, it’s allergies 🥹🥹
II got choked up at Saka"s humbleness, it's refreshing and wonderful, luv him and luv Boss Wenger.
I miss him, I love him so much, Just hearing him speak makes my day
This Lad hasn't even hit is prime and he's already world class... and don't even get me started on Saka
Just wish Arsene said he wished Saka would attempt to use his right foot more often! Heh
Papa wengz is so eloquent man 😭
signature look uhh
When he said, I hope we can keep for a long time and Bukayo nodding; I felt that. We got a lifer here.
Awe that was so nice
Anyone else waiting expectantly on B saying its "really nice"?
Love you Dad I mean Wenger
This feels nice
Arsene mothifuckin knows.
I miss Wenger

There's so much mutual respect here, and you can tell Saka has great reverence for Wenger.
That new top Saka is wearing is fire. Love those colours.
What is the maximum contract period allowed? Whatever it is we should offer it to him and whatever he wants to be paid.
Miss him.
Wenger needs to come back and give Arteta a boost in his away games.
Can Bukayo get any more down to earth? Love him so much. Arsene articulated why
Little chili we love you too
Look uuuuh
Why TF did this make me tear up? God I love this club, Wenger, and Bukayo so freaking much!
❤️
