Arsene Wenger
Arsenal manager and a man with an exceptional eye for young talent and devotion to his brand of football which, when Arsenal were at their pomp, was an absolute joy to watch.

Why Theo Walcott Is One Tactical Change Away From Greatness
He’s been highly-rated for some time, but Theo Walcott is finally starting to show some steady progress.

Clear Signs That Arsene Wenger Is Getting Desperate
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has vowed to abandon his policy of blooding members of his ever-burgeoning creche during the early rounds of the Carling Cup, in lieu of making a concerted effort to actually win something this time out – thus ending the club’s five-year spell of ultimately pointless dry-humping.
