Sky Sports: “Arsene, over the past 14 years you’ve have had many battles with Jose. Have you anything to say about him before going into, potentially, your last confrontation?” Arsene: “Some people wrong because they are not strong enough to fight temptation and some are wrong because that do not know” The Current […]
