Yeah, I don't think you're really typical, la. In the nicest possible way, of course.
The mood seems to have been about right, imo. More or less as expected. After all, many are disappointed that Wenger is leaving after all, many again will be feeling equally let down that they failed to hound Him out.
The club can be satisfied we've managed the transition pretty well. So far. The tricky bit is done and there only remains the far less taxing question of who to choose as His replacement.
Well done, Wenger, and well done everyone else.
I found the joy felt by Claude at the news of Wenger stepping down particularly uncomfortable
I am no expert on european football (I have made that clear over the years) but I had heard of him. How can. You miss a story with a word in it that starts Arsene.....
Either way, he wasnt a 'bloke from Japan'.....he had a very successful career at Monaco.
The issue was a big club appointing a foreign manager. And it turned out it was rather a good idea ifyou get the right one....
Sorry, p, but you saying you'd heard of him does not alter the fact that most people hadn't. This is why you had headlines like 'Arsene Who?' and pieces like this spectacularly silly piece by Matthew Norman in which he describes AW as 'a Frenchman from Japan with a funny foreign name'. I'm not saying such ignorance was laudable, but it was very much general and very much real.
