But different than the day before'

Really - you genuinely think Arsene isn't annoyed by the amount of times he puts Arsenal under pressure by giving the ball away in silly positions? I say this because we all know you aren't allowed an original thought on football and just swear blindly to what Wenger says (and he has openly criticised him for it before)
“Other clubs never came into my thoughts once I knew Arsenal wanted to sign me.”
That's just banter. The only criticism a player cares about is being left out for an extended period. Wenger must be broadly happy with him, which is why He continues to select him all the time.
Alexis makes up for giving the ball away by being our best goalscorer and Wenger seems to have accepted that balance, as every manager has to do as no player is perfect. Except Dennis and Thierry obviously.
