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….

Red Devilled at Old Trafford… I was not expecting a victory here. But even though we lost, we didn’t lose badly. Overall, it was a good performance, and we probably should have got a draw at least. It was nice to see Wenger being praised by both Sir Alex and his new buddy Mourinho. As […]

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 […]
