Wenger at Arsenal and Zola at Chelsea professionalised the game in England. 

The Upshot podcast did a brilliant episode on Graham Stack that totally captured the transition

Loads of ex Arsenal players said Wenger extended their careers, has anyone seen Ray Parlour lately ? And he still drinks regularly with Alan Brazil

He was a right winger until

wenger turned him into a striker. Wenger was a great manager when he first came in, the first thing he did was tell merson his Arsenal career was over. He made sure the team all had controlled diets and became more professional. Sounds weird now, but he was the first to do it.

 

 

 

 

He played as a right winger against us for Monaco, when he was a teenager. I think Sonny Anderson (ex Brazil) might have been in the same side.

Was a long list of futre PL and internationals there. Bernarbia & Legwinski scored, Barthez, Dumas, Grimaldi(?) Collins plus one of my early favourites in Scifo

The first one is ridiculous :lol:

 

How good is the punditry there compared to what we see nowadays btw? No hyperbole or attempts at banter, just a calm, honest analysis of what's happened. 

I was just thinking that - just different class.

Even as a young winger at Monaco he still managed to destroy us in the UEFA cup in 97

Hilarious how bad Luton, Burnley and Sheff Utd have been

 

They have been, but I think Luton deserve some credit for having made a somewhat decent fist of it. It's absolutely obscene that they have featured in the Premier League at all, let's be honest. Burnley and Sheffield United are a disgrace and if it wasn't for the fact we tend to get positive results, I'd never have them back.

 

Next season will hopefully be a bit different (and better, from the neutral point of view). You'd certainly expect Leicester to be pretty well-equipped. Last season really was an aberration in their recent history.

Lutons season has been a success purely based on what abomination they prevented coming up in the playoffs
