AW only keeps him ticking over because he is best mates with Cesc and if Thomas is still here then Cesc has a much better chance of being lured back! Expect to see Thomas coaching, painting and cutting the pitch over the next few years.

While manmy people may want the little Mozzart gone Iwould like to retain his ervice. Midfield is one area where work to win games is done so I hope Wenger realise that an old wisehead like Rossicky is godsent in terms of inculcating the younger players. Remember the shameful refusal to give Pires 2 years contract? And what massive has that caused us since then? We will never know but it still haunts Wenger as that mentality Pires had cant be bought or transplanted easily. Cesc Fabregas once said that he was 22 and had been longest in the team. Saying that when he came to Arsenal he found big players and for that reason you learn faster. I hope we can keep a few wiseheads to help younger ones in the team and also teach them club ethos.

Never saw him play, moved to the US in 82 and lost contact with The Arsenal for a minute. However, he chats so much rubbish about Arsenal on ESPN press pass…annoying as heck.

Bob,

Everton have been in the top flight for most number of years overall.

Arsenal have the longest consecutive number of years in the top flight.

Coventry were in the first division from 1967 to 2001 I believe, which is remarkable for a team that had come up from the 4th division. Arsenal have been in the first division since 1919 until the present day. All being well we will celebrate 100 years in the first division in 2019

I think maybe we just hold the record for the team playing for the longest in the top flight, is that correct?

In which case I wonder if the never been relegated theory actually applied to Coventry before they finally took their nose dive a few years back.

No, Arsenal started off in the Second Division in 1893 and were promoted in 1904. They were then relegated and played in the Second Division for the 1913-14 and 1914-15 seasons.

So, its not true that Arsenal is the only team
that has never been in a lower division then?
I ‘ve always thought Arsenal was brought in the
top echelon of Football and stayed there until
now.
