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.
Arsene Wenger’s current contract at Arsenal ends in 2008, after which the Frenchman expects to sit down with the Arsenal board and discuss his future.

Arsenal: The season that promised so little duly delivers
Cesc Fabregas was overtly forthcoming in his love and admiration for Arsenal as he left for boyhood club Barcelona.

Football Fashion?
Fashion matters more to football than the average supporter might care to acknowledge. Most spectators aren’t overly concerned about their personal aesthetic at 3pm on a Saturday.

Arsenal slip again as Wenger obsesses over wantaway players
As Arsenal players struggled to convince Scousers that losing is part of being a trendy North Londoner this weekend, you’d be forgiven for asking exactly where all the adversity came from.

Arsene Wenger: The Next Move
There was a time when winning trophies was a habit at the Emirates. Or rather, Highbury. Such have been Arsenal’s performances that they have failed to win a major trophy since 2005. Not a piece of silverware has been won since moving to their new state of the art stadium and it is surely high…

Following a 2-1 defeat at Bolton on Sunday, Arsene Wenger had the look of a defeated man. And for good reason.
