Disagreements amongst teammates are part and parcel of the game and can actually be a healthy thing to have amongst a squad because it shows the passion of the players and their care for doing the best for the club.<\/p>\n
David Bentley came through the Arsenal academy<\/a> before moving on North London rivals Spurs later in his career, however, he has spilled the beans on a training ground fight he has described as the \u2018best ever\u2019 under Arsene Wenger<\/a>.<\/p>\n READ MORE: Crystal Palace have just decided which player they want to sign if they sell Eberechi Eze to Arsenal<\/a><\/p>\n Speaking on the latest episode of the \u2018Under the Cosh\u2019 podcast, former Gunners midfielder Bentley has revealed that he witnessed a number of physical confrontations during his time at the club.<\/p>\n Bentley stated: \u201cMate, every day there was a fight. Every day was a fight. We talk about personalities, no chance. <\/p>\n \u201cYou got Ray Parlour, loves it, lunatic, beautiful man. Then you got Martin Keown. Animal, kicking the crap out of everyone.<\/p>\n \u201cVan Bronckhorst, I come off with black eyes. These play up against him. He used to elbow the life out of me.<\/p>\n \u201cThere were fights. Pascal Cygan and Kolo Tour\u00e9, best fight I\u2019ve ever seen on the training ground. Two animals going at it.\u201d<\/p>\n Bentley left Arsenal because he didn\u2019t trust Wenger as he revealed in the same interview and has now lifted the lid on some of the crazier moments at the Gunners.<\/p>\n Toure<\/a> and Cygan were centre back partners at the club and fierce competitors \u2013 both players were members of the 2004 \u2018Invincibles\u2019 squad.<\/p>\n Jens Lehmann and Manuel Almunia disliked each other<\/a> with former keeper David Seaman<\/a> revealing that the pair never spoke.<\/p>\n However, good teammates put their differences aside and work towards a shared goal of winning football matches and that is what all of Wenger\u2019s teams did.<\/p>\n Mikel Arteta can use his squad harmony to good effect this season at Arsenal<\/p>\n When you look at the current squad from the outside, there seems to be a real togetherness amongst the players and staff.<\/p>\n Arteta has partnerships that he relies on all over the pitch from William Saliba<\/a> and Gabriel Magalhaes<\/a> in defence to Ben White<\/a> and Bukayo Saka<\/a> on the right wing.<\/p>\n It is an important campaign for the Gunners to break their trophy drought and finally get some silverware over the line and the players\u2019 good relationships on and off the pitch can help to do that.<\/p>\n![\"Kolo](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GettyImages-1220544055-1024x679.jpg\")
