Arsenal legends optimistic about Gunners' title chances

“Bergkamp was a great player but Odegaard can do a similar sort of job, he’s fantastic Odegaard."

TOP GUNS: Ray Parlour, Paul Merson, and Liam Brady reminisced about their playing careers at Arsenal and looked ahead to the new season at events in Dublin and Cork last Friday and Saturday.

Listening to Ray Parlour reflect on his time at Arsenal, it's hard to know what gave him greater pleasure: Success on the pitch or his role as a wind-up merchant off it.

Back in the day, Parlour shared the role of chief dressing room jester with Dennis Bergkamp. Their most frequent victim? Martin Keown.
