    His complexion was a touch chalky though

    I am glad that release from the stresses and strains has brought him back to life
    10 characters? Pile of cund.

    Not wierd.
    Of course, but it's individuals like Wenger who have made the institution one that we are inclined to love. And without loyalty to such individuals the notion of loving the institution becomes meaningless.

    The question of course is where this loyalty ends. My own personal feeling is that Wenger earned something close to unconditional loyalty, though I wouldn't necessarily wish cancer on those who feel differently.

    I'm treating my son like the mother in 'Goodbye Lenin'. He keeps singing Wenger's name and I have absolutely no intention of telling him he's not our manager anymore

    My daughter was born in 1998. She has literally never known Arsenal without him.

    Won't somebody think of the children, m?

    How does anyone manage that, though? You need a mind that is almost hermetically sealed and resistant to change not to acquire more of the surrounding language by osmosis.

    Oh.

    Well, I could never warm to him. He had that slightly wooden air. . One that nurtured respect but missed by a country mile, the affability exuded by Klopp.
    This in no way detracts from his remarkable achievements but casts a slight flaw in how I personally regard his persona.
    You know, the stiff in the room at a party,

    Oh.
    Yes. I think it's that he genuinely doesn't care and has no vanity or interest in how others perceive him.

    He's basically a saint, a!
