    I've read other quotes from this meeting suggesting Dixon claims that Wenger didn't do any coaching and that his success was down to inheriting George Graham's team. So it all sounds like a load of old cóck.

    I think the term "coaching" must just mean different things to different people.

    It's like with dogs: Folk say to me, Why don't your hounds return to you when asked. I reply, Because it's not their job.

    "Why don't you train them then?"

    "Because they're perfectly well-trained already. Why doesn't your labrador run 70km/h and catch hare? Why don't you train it then?
    "Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.

    "But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."

    Nothing. To the contrary, I'm the biggest hare fan you could ever care to know.

    Boro Primorac does the coaching innit.

    Just what does Arsene do?
    “Other clubs never came into my thoughts once I knew Arsenal wanted to sign me.”
