Ugh. It's a grim business this season. Like watching a beloved old pet go

It seems that Arsenal have leaked the fact he's staying to the press. Or do you think that's just a bluff to quell the speculation until the season is out?

I think that - correctly - the Arsenal does not wish to be seen as the sort of club that bows to the mitherings of the press or its entitled manbaby fans to unceremoniously force their longest-serving and greatest ever manager out of the door. We're not Chelsea, after all.
