Our 11 players could be configured into [...]

Happy Birthday, Arsene Wenger (UPDATED)

By: Martin | Comments 4 Comments

60 years young today.

What’s he doing to celebrate? Probably having some kind of big, lavish party, with Elton John playing songs while young starlets mill around drinking champagne? How about it, Arsene?:
