Wenger was a brilliant man manager, especially for managing big egos like Henry’s. The left side of Arsenal were pretty full of themselves (and maybe rightfully so) Henry, Pires, and Cole were a bit of a clique. Henry gave an interview a while back where he said they called the right side their crutch. As in the right side (Ljungberg, Lauren) limped while the left side glided.
Well, fans know that when Pires picked up his season ending injury against Newcastle, it was Freddie who stepped up and won us the league that season.
In Arsenal’s history, the left side always won the awards but the right side were the unsung heroes. They were prolific, loyal and stayed longer, and never have a bad thing to say about the club.
