Happy Birthday, Arsene Wenger (UPDATED)
By: Martin | October 22nd, 200960 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?:
No, I have nothing to celebrate. It will be very quiet. I have the AGM. We have a big game on Sunday again and Thursday night is the Europa League with the new fifth referee system. They are responsible for my ageing so I have to watch that!
Well, there you go–addressing the shareholders and watching some exciting, exciting Europa League action. What a wild and crazy guy…
UPDATE: Football 365 has compiled their “60 Favorite Arsene Wenger Quotes” in honor of his 60th birthday. It is well worth a read. Some particular favorites of mine:
–[In response to Sir Alex Ferguson's claim that he possessed the best team in the league despite Arsenal winning the title in 2002] “Everyone thinks they have the prettiest wife at home.”
–[On Jose Mourinho after the then Chelsea boss accused him of being a voyeur] “He’s out of order, disconnected with reality and disrespectful. When you give success to stupid people, it makes them more stupid sometimes and not more intelligent.”
–[On Emmanuel Adebayor's stamp on Robin van Persie] “I watched it when I got home and it looked very bad. You ask 100 people, 99 will say it’s very bad and the hundredth will be Mark Hughes.”
–”We do not buy superstars. We make them.”
And, of course…
–”I did not see the incident.”

Happy Birthday Arsene a real Gooner and it’s good to hear the managers don’t see their salaries as an excuse to go and get smashed in a club some where. Maybe some players could learn a few things.Guess Not?

I actually used one of those quotes a few years ago. I was a real estate agent, and a guy was trying to tell me how much to list his house for. I was trying to tell him what similar houses were going for, and he was saying how his was so unique and special. So I said, “Well, everyone thinks he has the prettiest wife at home.” I didn’t tell him it came from the Arsenal manager. Since, you know, he’s an American and would have no idea who Wenger is.
