    Slagged of Wenger for not being a football fan and just getting lucky.

    Obviously there is plenty to that article but the bit I will pick up on is that he inherited a 22 year old Dennis Bergkamp. I'm pretty sure Dennis was 26 when we signed him and 27 when Wenger inherited him. Do these people not Fact Check before they make statements?

    Well Souness clearly didn't (as a direct quote I wouldn't expect the publication to change it but should have pointed it out) - you are right of course. Dennis was 26 when we signed him

    There is one unarguable point in there- Ferguson is the greater legend. The rest is just bitterness and resentment from a thuggish player who became a **** manager and an even worse pundit.

    Wrighty lasted 18 months under Wenger and hardly played for the last 6 of those. The back five were ageing and Wenger's methods prolonged their careers. His first great side was built on two outstanding Dutch players not jut the French and was a huge knowledge of French football really required to sign world cup winning Henry and Euro winning Robert Pires?

    Sounness is, and always will be, an absolute ****house, most famed for a disgusting tackle.

    Maybe it was the fact that he stayed with us for a decade {actually, 11 seasons, no?} that confused the poor Jock.

    We should have kept him longer. How old were Spunky and Jimmy A when they retired?

    Wretched, dreary, dismal old ****, of course (Souness, I mean), but you can see where he's coming from. I'm certain Wenger, Himself, would be appalled if anyone thought he was a "football man" according to GS' understanding and use of the term. British, bungs, boot rooms, betting and beer; AW wanted absolutely none of all that.
    "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."
