Wenger arrives at Old Trafford: Last time first

It is literally gold, or is nicknamed "the jewel of the ball", the stunning King Fahd Stadium of Saudi Arabia is very much only known by FIFA.

In contrast, in South America far away, people do not need to step out the door to hear or know about the legendary Nou Camp. This is where Eduardo Galeano once wrote in a best seller, that you can feel the groan of the Catalan fans under the dictator Franco.

This is the soul of the football field. Arsene Wenger will miss the Emirates - the home of this team? E is not. He will miss Old Trafford more. Remember forever. Even so, it will be the stadium you remember most during the rest of life.

Only Highbury is comparable to Old Trafford in Wenger's mind. But over ten years have passed since the Highbury, home of Arsenal, back in the past. Wenger's team has never won the Premier League since the glittering Emirates Stadium. It's big, big. But it does not leave anything to Wenger to remember. It never equaled Highbury, where Wenger could see Thierry Henry approaching the penalty area and he could tell that he was running a lot.

No more Highbury, Old Trafford is undoubtedly the place to remember the most memorable of Arsene Wenger's coaching career. All his "last" things, involving 22 years of Arsenal leadership, will be raised in these days. Today is certainly one of the first "final" Arsenal fans deserve to review: a visit at Old Trafford.

In March 1998, Marc Overmars scored the only goal for Arsenal to beat M.U 1-0 at Old Trafford, in the 30th round of the Premier League. Arsenal "only" earned 18 points in the remaining eight rounds, while M.U had an additional 20 points. But in the end, Arsenal still won the championship with only 1 point difference - they will only finish second if they score, because of the sub-scores. Also to remind, that the first championship in Arsenal's Premier League era was decided at Old Trafford rivals M.U?

In the 1998/99 season Arsenal won the title of Premier League champions Blackburn ... dropped. Why call on Blackburn? Because they, along with Arsenal, are one of only two teams to win the Premier League title before the turn of the century. Just a "momentary moment" - as the immortal words of Sir Alex Ferguson, and then Wenger's Arsenal will look like Blackburn? No problem. Wenger's team claims to be "eternal" with the 2002 Premier League championship. What's more interesting and memorable, as the title is decided at Old Trafford! Sylvain Wiltord scored the only goal for Arsenal to win 1-0 in the 35th round.

Of course, memories do not just cover what's good. Old Trafford is also the place where Wenger's Arsenal have ended the unbeaten record of 49 consecutive Premier League games (the start of the 2004/05 season - when Arsenal were the only champions in the history of the Premier League not losing any games during the season). ). It was also where Arsenal lost 2-8 in 2011, perhaps the most memorable defeat of Wenger's career.

There are many other memorable memories. Wenger was sacked by referee Mike Dean at Old Trafford Stadium in 2009 (and since he has no chair, he must stand all the way, in the midst of the merriment of M.U fans). Even if Arsenal only drew 0-0 at Old Trafford in 2003, they still call it the "greatest 0-0 draw in Premier League history." A great long film is being played slowly when Wenger prepares for the final away at Old Trafford.
