......would you have appreciated our glory years more?

I'm talking about the early noughties all the way through the Invincibles era and that last FA cup victory against United

Unfortunately i never supported Arsenal in the early noughties. Never got a chance to see Henry or Brgkamp play.....

Im sorry but you call these dark times? 60 000 seat stadium, 5th most valuable club (or something like that) champions league for 14 straight seasons, always challenging for trophies. Seriously, we are apart of like 7 or 8 clubs in the world that are considered BIG clubs. Man these arent dark time, not the best, but not dark at all.

I'm going to have to agree with this. Sure, we've been in a dry season trophy wise and our long term plan sorta blew up in our face, but at least we're financially stable, have an awesome stadium and long term we're pretty set.

The day Wenger retires whoever comes in to continue the legacy will have plenty of resources to keep it going.
