Yes I know, not GTFC related, but Wenger announced he’s leaving at the end of the season.

Now we'll see how good/rich Arsenal really are. And how much was the Wenger Factor.

New Manager probably already in place. Josh Kroenke has been on a "Special Review" since January.

20 or so seasons at the top is a major achievement. In that time he has built some great teams, struggled a bit in recent years but that should not detract from his successes.

Odd thing for me is that Wenger's best teams featured Petit and Vieira in the centre of the park - two strong and athletic players tough as old boots who could also play quite a bit as well. After they left, he replaced them with one weak tippy-tapper after another so it's no surprise they've had a soft centre all too often.

It's only this season that they've spent anything near the other big clubs so it will be interesting to see if his replacement is given a 'competitive' (i.e. obscene) budget to play with.

In recent years his problem has been agents more than lack of cash. Wenger likes to keep players for more than one or two seasons to build a side and likes loyalty, but agents are pushing players to move on after only a year or so for the money.

Been a fantastic manager. He got a lot of undeserved criticism in the media IMO even  though he seemed to have struggled in the last few seasons.

Some of the football his teams played, especially in the first 10 years was some of the best I've seen in the PL, probably up there with the current Man City side. Dennis Bergkamp is probably my favourite all time PL player, ironically not bought in by Wenger but was a central part of his most successful teams.


Au revoir, bonne chance, Monsieur Wenger

All done on a relatively small budget. Which incidentally was his own choice.
I would wager that Arsenal is one of (if not the) most financially secure teams in the Prem.
His send off should be superb and I feel that if he wants to continue in football with a less stressful job, he would be an ideal assistant to M.J. next season !!


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

Do you not think Real Madrid was Rafa’s “big chance” ?

Id love to see Sean Dyche giving a chance rather than these merry ho round managers i.e. Ancelotti.
