In this special episode, Abu Samra welcomes fellow Arsenal fanatic Timo and the insightful Sunastat to embark on a nostalgic journey through the golden era of Arsène Wenger at Arsenal. We'll rewind the clock to relive the revolutionary Frenchman's arrival, his meticulous tactical philosophy, and the birth of "Wengerball" – a brand of football that mesmerized audiences with its fluidity, precision, and attacking flair.

Join us as we celebrate the Invincibles – that legendary squad that went the entire 2003-04 Premier League season unbeaten – relive iconic moments like Henry's thunderbolt volleys, Bergkamp's impudent chip over Schmeichel, and Vieira's commanding presence in midfield. We'll dissect the impact of Wenger's "Invincibles," the underrated heroes who oiled the machine behind the superstars.

But it wasn't all champagne and trophies. We'll also delve into the challenges, the near misses, and the heartbreaks that shaped the Wenger years. Did his adherence to his principles eventually hinder Arsenal's progress? Was the pursuit of beautiful football sometimes prioritized over ruthless pragmatism?

From Highbury's hallowed turf to the Emirates' modern majesty, this episode is a love letter to a period that redefined Arsenal's identity and etched Wenger's name into the club's folklore. Prepare for passionate debate, hilarious anecdotes, and a healthy dose of nostalgia as we pay tribute to "Le Professeur" and the indelible mark he left on the red and white of North London.
