Arsenal 5-0 Burnley – A bientot Monsieur Wenger – Premier League review It’s the final Wenger home game, which we finished in style. And how….

Arsenal vs. Burnley preview So it’s Arsene’s last home game at Arsenal. There will be a party atmosphere, but then this will be a preview as much as it is a celebration of his tenure. As for the game, it’s pretty much the sixth-place play-off final. Burnley, whilst a “small club”, can finish above […]

Sky Sports: “Arsene, over the past 14 years you’ve have had many battles with Jose.
