Domeneche, you´re a stupid, he must be in the french team, although he is 36, he still an incredible player. to me zidane and him were the same, just than zidane was more lucky in the french team.
barca cant keep up with the pace of most villareal playerrs. Villareal plays much speedier set plays than Let say Real Madrid. guys like iniesta and xavi are useless at mid when villareal has posession
pires wold so hav loved 2 play n scored against barca... he didn't get a proper chance against barca in the champion league final... bein substitued 4 almunia... still, pires, we love u...!
Arsenal used to have great wingers like Overmars, Pires and Ljungberg, this team today lacks those wingers. Hleb and Rosicky play better when they have a more inside roll, not great wingers. Wallcott could become one but we need one that is great now not in 4 years.
Pires was the best Left sided mifielder ever for Arsenal and one of the greatest in the premier league.. his runs/dribbles, passing, shooting, awareness was just amazing, he made alot of people happy at highbury u always new he would score and make a difference.
When he scored this goal, I immediately thought of Wenger, and the phrase 'told you so.' He should not have subbed Pires out when Lehmann was sent off in the Champions League Final. Pires is a big performer. Take off Ljungberg for Almunia, bring Bergkamp on for Hleb and let him play behind Henry. Two Arsenal legends who brought the team so much, yet they weren't even trusted when Arsenal's biggest triumph was in reach.
How young do you think Rosicky is? He's 27. When Pires was that age he won us the title in 2002 and the whole squad got down on their knees and hailed him.
I think ANY Arsenal fan (that knows what they're talking about) would agree that Pires is a much better player than Rosicky. I agree totally with doddsy89, they hailed him because basically without his goals, they would not have won the league that year.
I have many words to describe Pires, he's a legend and a virtusuo midfielder. No one will replace Pires in Arsenal. The reason y arsenal losed 2 barca in the champs league was bcoz wenger sub Pires out, he shud have sub that bastard reyes out instead.
Arsenal have lost many midfielders past few years..hope hleb and rosicky can feel up their boots..surely arsenal miss the critical finishes of Pires and Villareal are on the advantage side this comin season coz Pires is in top flight and in form after their 8 consecutive wins last season..go on bobby..we love u
Typical Pires, making the right run at the right time. Nobody in the current team makes the runs that he and Freddie used to, thats why they struggle.
Pires has only been gone for one season you twat. You can see his obvious lack of pace, going to La Liga has been the best move for him. Godd Luck Bobby. :)
man, Pires was such a badass...he was such an Arsenal OG, now that I think about it...with Henry leaving and Bergkamp, Tony Adams, Ray Parlour, Kanu, etc...it's so sad to reminisce about the good ol' days of the gunners.
he made the flanks his own, cutting in to score that's pires' trademark. current gooners seldom do that & look where did we end up this season & the one before.
yeah..when pires was around,we made it to the CL finals last season..when he left dis season,we end up playing in carlings cup final and losing it to our chelski rivals..nevertherless,his goal against barca was a sweet revenge..
only arsenal fans actually appreciated how good a player robert pires was in england. as good as ronaldo's been this season, pires was miles better in '02
hes still got the class!!! miss him frm arsenal!!

I still think he'd do a great job in the Arsenal team, exactly the kind of clinical finisher breaking into the box we need.
I always wondered why Pires was generally under rated, for me one of Arsenal's greatest ever. Only Overmars comes close in my memory.
