Nobody was ever moved to moan about their team before that.

It's the degree of moaning. The vehemence of the moaning. That extent of the anger. The hatefulness of the tirades.

They have made the extreme mainstream. It's how socialists work.

Maybe a director of football would've accomplished more than Wenger on his own this summer.

On another note...we didn't bring Henry crack to the club because he wanted to keep working with Sky....so how about Arsene ending feadline day early so he could cover the France game.

£8m a year to tell Monaco and Lamar - no hard feelings...I have a train to catch to Paris anyways

:shrug:

I have no doubt you could Sir C..of course , first you have to be in possession of said ball to give it away

I did see that he was working in Paris at the French match. :hehe:

Now I know we probably have many other people dealing with these things but he doesn't really help himself at times. I suspect he does it to deliberately wind up some people.

No, you either do what's right or you don't, as that Niemöller fellow might've said.

To be fair, that is also exactly where the guy we were trying to buy was as well.

Also, when Pat Rice retired, Wenger made a pointed reference to the fact that one of the things He most loved and admired about him was his discretion, I think, as a veiled warning to Steve Bould not to go blabbing to his former team-mates, especially the ones still trying to make names for themselves in the media, about private club matters and training ground issues. Perhaps it's this guardedness from within the club that's led to the short fuse of a few of our former players?
