Former Arsenal Players Thread
https://dubz.co/c/a56cb0 Nelson goal. Still an Arsenal player, I know.
Eddie goal
HomeSteak good to see Nelson scoring. Helps a potential sale.
Wish Eddie had scored a couple of instinctive goals like that for us. Maybe it's the confidence of a player who knows his team rely on him more than we did.
Eddie, Nelson and ESR all doing well is a good story for our academy. Creates a fantastic halo for upcoming players. It’s incredibly satisfying to see them all doing well.

Jay Emmanuel-Thomas arrested for organising £600,000 cannabis importation. Not the usual type of former player story! I knew he had been in Scotland but not that he was still floating about the lower leagues.
I heard he was JETting it in.
Geddit? I said I heard he was... Oh, never mind.
Wow, that's sad. What an idiot.
Wow

Wow, thats crazy. People really are going the Alibaba route for their weed these days.
Legal where I live. Just go to the store.
Honeslty I'm more shaken up by the fact that he's 33 now. Still thought he was a young prospect entering his prime.
Still pretty unreal we bought him from League 1 and he played so many matches for us.
Only 32 now but he is already a free agent without clubs. Many players from that Wenger era ends up without a club past 30.
Clrnc I've said it before, I'm sure, but Charlton fans were shocked we bought him.
Look at a guy like holding. So beloved. Went to palace. Doubt he’s even played a single minute.
Wenger definitely persisted for too long with players.
Holding probably bought himself an extra season for his performance in the FA Cup final
ESR with his second goal of the season following an assist last week.
Not sure but I have feeling we should have kept him this season - would have been the perfect Ode replacement whilst he’s injured. Oh well. At least he’s playing games week in week out.
I guarantee Smith Rowe won’t be with Fulham in 2 years. He’s too good for them.
Sicario2 - Tier 1 I'm very happy for him
