Robert Pires

We've mentioned the seven FA Cups, the Premier Leagues, the Invincibles, but he did not win the Champions League.

Should Arsenal, Perry, have won more during the peak years of Henry, Vieira, Bergkamp, Pires, and then the supporting cast, Sylvain Wiltord, who when I was growing up, you know, my team at the time were never in the Premier League, Forest, so, but I, I fell in love watching Premier League football on the telly because of Manchester United against Arsenal and those players.

And all of the players are a- around, Gilberto Silva, for example, sort of unsung hero.

Should-- Is it not a, a valid point to say that Wenger's legacy is one of the or, or the greatest? He can't be, 'cause he's never won the Champions League.

They drew 12 of 38 games, and the reason they did that was because- Pre-season, Arsene Wenger had predicted they'll go unbeaten, and he became so obsessed with this, drawing became his specialty.

They couldn't beat Portsmouth that season, home or away.

Relied on a massive dive from Robert Pires to get a point, to get a draw, to maintain the unbeaten run.

Put so much into going unbeaten, into the energy they put into that 38-game unbeaten run, and in isolation it's fantastic.

That was a good tackle by Pires on Vieira.

Picked his pocket.

Henry, plenty of movement ahead of him.

She then decided to test me and asked Villa versus Arsenal 0-1-0-2.

Who scored? I confidently answered Robert Pires, mentioning that he lobbed Peter Schmeichel.

My mum immediately told the entire wedding party that I was wrong.

The problem? She'd been given the question by my brother, who had accidentally given her Arsenal vs Villa at Highbury rather than Villa vs Arsenal.

You're kind of doing your important team sheet and you think, Sol Campbell starts, Patrick Vieira starts, Gilberto Silva starts, Henry starts.

And you look at the, and then around that you have the likes of Ray Parler, Freddie Youngberg, Robert Pires, Colo Torre, Lorraine.

Dennis Burkham, Kanu, Wiltord, these are all high profile guys and they're just bigger than Ashley Cole was.

Against Ashley Cole, you kind of have a combination of Pierre-Joachim Capier and Calafuri.

27 goals, mate.

Mate, one of my favourite players, Robert Pires.

I'm a Spurs support, by the way.

And he was one of my favourite players when I was growing up.

Do you think The Invincibles are, like, similarly secretly elated that they're, they're the ones, the only ones? Um, or do you think, like, for, for Patrick Vieira, for Thierry Henry, for, like, Dennis Bergkamp, there's a little sadness that this spectacular, this still spectacular Arsenal squad will not match their achievement this season?

I think Thierry Henry and Dennis Bergkamp and Robert Pires and all of them are absolute Arsenal loyalists who want nothing more than to see Arsenal win the league title every single season.

I think they w- they wish nothing but the best for Arsenal.

But I, I believe fervently that they would really like them to win the league title by winning 37 and losing one game.

Good morning Gunners, so post my recording yesterday, Arsenal were drawn at away to Fleetwood and we get to go and play at Highbury Stadium for the first time since 2006 and I was questioning in some groups, I was like surely one of the team who played on the final game at Highbury could give us five minutes in the in the Carabao Cup and see what we could put together so the team that started the final day against Wigan was Jens Lehmann we had Emmanuel Oboe at right back, Sol Campbell, Cole O'Toole at centre back, Ashley Cole at left back.

With a midfield of Fabregas, Leb, Gilberto Silva, Robert Pires and up front we had Thierry Henry and Jose Antonio Reyes.

And I thought, you know, Henri was asked on, you know, CBS.

How long could he give? I could give him five minutes.

two, but I'll give one that suits him a bit more.

Robert Pires.

Good player, sexy player.

Was a very, very good player, very sexy player.
