Max ScottHOST
I'm Max Scott, and thirty years ago, English football asked the question, Arsene who? Well, nowadays, there are people that call him the architect of modern football.
Max ScottHOST
He transformed diets, training, tactics, built the Invincibles, and helped carry Arsenal into the Emirates era.
Max ScottHOST
But he did also stay long enough to be labeled a specialist in failure.
Max ScottHOST
So was Arsene Wenger a genuine revolutionary, or did the rest just simply catch up? And do we now remember him through those rose-tinted glasses? This is the Talksport Daily.
8 MINS LATER
Perry GrovesGUEST
He literally didn't have a clue.
Perry GrovesGUEST
Beyond that initial recruitment, Arsene Wenger did not have a clue what to do.
speaker_6UNKNOWN
No, he did, because what he did was, which I think that he, uh, made him take in the second part of his tenure, if you look at the Invincibles, there was only three of those that were under six foot because he knew that it was a physical, powerful league, right? So he had that.
speaker_6UNKNOWN
Then I think that he thought that football in this country was gonna go even a lot more technical.
FKHOST
You know, Pep Guardiola and all the trophies that they've, uh, managed to, I guess, cobble together over the last few years really does put a huge question mark on whether Manchester City actually deserve those trophies and whether Pep could have, should have done it, uh, with a different club with different constraints.
FKHOST
Um, talk to us about the conversations that you've been having about, you know, the invincibility, the Invincibles versus Champions League win and, and where does, I guess, Arsenal and Sir Alex rank for you now knowing everything that you do about Manchester City?
Laura Kirk-FrancisGUEST
Yeah.
Laura Kirk-FrancisGUEST
We've reached that stage of international break, haven't we, where we're going back over whether the Invincibles was a decent achievement or not.
Laura Kirk-FrancisGUEST
Like, uh, we've arrived.
Laura Kirk-FrancisGUEST
We have more than arrived at this stage of discussion.
Charles WattsHOST
Um, and so we've got a brilliant chance.
Charles WattsHOST
How it felt compared to the other years, I'd never thought we were gonna do it after the Invincibles.
Charles WattsHOST
I thought it was pretty apparent after just a couple of, probably a, probably about six weeks of that season, 'cause we actually started the season really well, but it came pretty apparent after about six weeks, eight weeks, that Chelsea were just a beast and they were a machine that season.
Charles WattsHOST
You could see that, what Mourinho was doing and what brought in, how strong they were, and it just looked very, very obvious pretty early on that we weren't gonna be able to, um, keep up with Chelsea in that season.
TabsHOST
I saw something on the socials today.
TabsHOST
Imagine we found out that The Invincibles was done by cheating.
TabsHOST
That was something, an amazing achievement.
TabsHOST
We've all loved.
Patrick DunnGUEST
David Beckham was probably the first global soccer star that a lot of people were familiar with here in the US.
Patrick DunnGUEST
But there's definitely a massive arsenal support I think that a lot of people were drawn to the style of play in the Wenger years, especially with Thierry Henry and the Invincibles era.
Patrick DunnGUEST
That was kind of going on when we first started getting even just a handful of live games.
Patrick DunnGUEST
And so Arsenal were on probably more often than most teams during that era from probably 2002 through 2006.
FreddieHOST
So, but that was kind of the peak of Wenger.
FreddieHOST
And I remember I looked at the team from the Invincibles versus the team that made the Champions League final.
FreddieHOST
And we'd lost, I suppose, key starters or key components On the bench, you know, we had Van Persie, Bergkamp, Clichy, but we didn't have Vieira.
FreddieHOST
We had Thierry Henry, you know, and Saul Campbell.
FreddieHOST
I don't know.
FreddieHOST
I think two of them are going to go to the Invincibles.
FreddieHOST
In fact, I think probably three of them are going to the Invincibles because we have a wicked lack of depth on the left wing.
FreddieHOST
Henry's got to start.
FreddieHOST
And is it Dennis or Martin? I think it's got to be Dennis, isn't
Michelle AinsworthHOST
Growing up as an avid soccer fan, Jamal followed Arsenal Football Club.
Michelle AinsworthHOST
He remembers seeing the club go through the 2003 Premier League season undefeated, earning the team the nickname The Invincibles.
Michelle AinsworthHOST
Arsenal was also known at the time for comprising mostly black players.
Jamal ElshekGUEST
The moment that I remember very vividly was I think 2003, it must be just right after they won the Premier League or they're playing in the Champions League.
speaker_15PANELIST
No, then.
speaker_15PANELIST
I'm thinking the Invincibles.
speaker_15PANELIST
Why? Why? I think the Centaurians is more likely to happen again.
speaker_15PANELIST
How is it more likely to happen again? It's already been done.
speaker_2UNKNOWN
so I'm just
FreddieHOST
going to open up the top trumps to see the right wing for the Invincibles team.
FreddieHOST
Again, I believe, yeah, probably one of my favourite players of the Arsenal team.
FreddieHOST
And it was Freddie Youngberg.
