AD-Free Episode 509 - Lee Dixon on The Arsenal

Comments

Listening to this kinda left me with a bitter taste in my mouth towards Wenger because by him(Wenger) not having most of Dixon generation in & around the club & squad turned us into the "Arsenal créch". Where we needed them around to help create men!

Thanks! Agreed. I think it’s really good to hear those kinds of comments to reconnect with what makes the club special

Amazing podcast Elliot! As a South American living in Australia the question “Why Arsenal?” often comes up, and Lee’s comments on the club perfectly crystallise a big part of the answer.

Tbf I’ve felt that way a lot more with other ex arsenal players like Merson. But I do think some ex players are always a bit wary of coming across as favoring their ex team so maybe they overcompensate

I love Lee. That being said, my impression is when I hear him calling Arsenal games over the past number of years, he seems to not give us too much “love” and/or benefit of the doubt and seems very critical of us. To be fair, we’ve been shite so it likely hurts him even more than us given his connection to the club, and thus can’t restrain his disdain for some banterous football we’ve played the past couple of years. Maybe it’s just me.

WHAT A GET SON

I’ll certainly try!

This was a brilliant podcast Elliott. Do you know any other ex-players to do something similar?

I hear that!

Totally get that, thanks for the reply. I am probably just a bit precious about any Arsenal criticism at the moment. 😄

I listened back and I think his point was that the group needs to be able to solve problems on the pitch and that group didn’t. So what he wants to see going forward is how they solve problems when it’s not going right because so far they’ve had it pretty straightforward

Enjoyed this but didn't understand the criticism of the Chelsea game when Gabriel and Tomi didn't play.

Lee was spot on about calling our club The Arsenal. Made me yearn of times past where respect for the old badge and our history were commonplace.

Thanks for the Special Pod Elliot. Was really enjoyable

I just loved every bit of this interview ❤️Dixon! Reminds me why I’m an Arsenal fan in the first place
