"It's one-nil to the Arsenal. That's the way we like it."
George Allison's quote uttered at half time, one which had resonance with the team's penchant for 1-0 scorelines many decades later.
"I remember one occasion early after he joined and we were losing at home to Liverpool at half-time. He never used to say anything at half-time until a minute before you went back out on the pitch; he’d leave the players to have a drink and do their stuff. This time he just picked up some chalk, drew a couple of lines and arrows on the board and said we go down the left, do this, do that and then clapped his hands and said ‘come on.’ We all looked at each other and had no idea what he was talking about.We went out in the second half, turned the game around and won 3-1. We were all in the dressing-room high-fiving afterwards and he came in, sat us all down, pointed at the chalk board and said ‘see…I told you,’ clapped and walked out. I looked at Tony Adams and went ‘he’s a genius'."
Lee Dixon explains the moment when he recognised the genius in Wenger.
