Not really, he wins fuck all & he's still the highest paid manager. Amazing how arsenals wage budget stretches there, eh?

At best, he's an overpaid youth development officer.

Real, atletico. Several others.

Petit & overmars weren't in the invincibles.

& he has proved that team was a fluke, the exception rather than the rule.

The reason why? It was full of strong, experienced leaders. Not fragile Nancy boys.

That's a bit harsh on petit. Good player him. Scored in a world cup final.

Savage couldn't do that on the xbox.

wengers decline with arsenal seems to have been mirrored by the french team over the same period.

i read elsewhere that barca are complaining that wenger has been kidnapping their youth players over a period of years hence the fabregas negotiations are so tense.

Hopefully a few more goals from midfield will assist us this season.

If that chance has fell to Malbranque last season for example it would be in row Z.....

Dons off to a flyer this season ;)
