presenter infuriates Cesc Fabregas

Dennis Bergkamp made a total of 423 appearances in 10 years with Gunners, scoring 120 goals and playing a crucial role in ir famous 2003-04 Invincibles campaign. But Durham sparked a controversy last week when he criticised Dutchman, questioning if he was really as influential as people claim. He pointed out that Bergkamp joined Arsenal in 1995 but won his first trophy in 1998, implying that or players like Patrick Vieira and Emmanuel Petit might have had more impact than Bergkamp. He also questioned Arsenal's failure to win Champions League or back to back titles with Bergkamp as ir talisman.

And Cesc Fabregas destroys him on Twitter

Durham’s comments have irked both Arsenal supporters and neutrals who admired Dennis Bergkamp as a player. w it appears he has mand to upset Cesc Fabregas as well. Spaniard, who played alongside Bergkamp for three years in rth London, took to Twitter on Monday to slam presenter. Fabregas was doubt frustrated with such baseless insinuations, suggested if Durham even understands sport at all. Fabregas is certainly well placed to weigh in on debate, given he was teammates with Bergkamp for three seasons and was also part of Invincibles squad.
