Wenger goes 5 Years, 12 Months ago  
Us Londoners have many happy memories of this charming, quiet, well dressed man who always looked smart, with his sweet smile.

A fine man by any standards

Civil, intelligent, talented, educated and respectful


Extreme pressure to get results only occasionally precipitated some rancour

Media timing is noteworthy - only weekend newspapers will carry the news

He is one of the greats and added and intelligence and dignity to the game..He also fielded some wonderful, creative sides used to love watching them and I say that as a Southampton fan...

Dignity too.

He raised the bar for managers' behaviour and standards.

Some of us can remember the foulmouthed rants of others.


And the pub crawls of players after morning training.

Players now are tested most mornings (blood, urine etc.)

If they fail (post match/weekends excepted)...


severe consequences can result...

He had no hinterland. He only had football. That was his strength and now it's his undoing.

A great manager, the most successfull ever at Arsenal. Watching the Arsenal team of 2003/4 was some of the best football I have ever seen from the likes of Henry and Bergkamp, backed up by solid English defence of Adams, Keown, Dixon, and Winterburn.
Also a friend of Jeremy Corbyns, judge a person by the company that they keep.

Re:Wenger goes 5 Years, 12 Months ago  
Dignity seems the word most used. Rather similar to Corbyn who has changed PM's QT into a more civilised time with less shouting and howling (although the irritating habit of blaming the other side for incidents years ago continues - I hate it when one or other crows "it happened fifteen years ago under a Tory/Labour government").
