Ahead of tomorrow’s crunch clash with Manchester United, Arsene Wenger was interviewed by Sky’s Geoff Shreeves.
He talks about what’s important about football – clue: it’s not manufactured controversy between managers – and lots more. As ever with Wenger, there are some fascinating gems. Watch it above, or below.

These one on one interviews he’s so much more candid. The newspapers with their evil word twisting ways have stuffed themselves long term because he pretty much gives them nothing interesting in the press conferences.
Arsène FC now, forever, always. Would take a bullet for the guy.
No club in the world deserves success. Wenger has made us top level forever, he did it during the austerity years at The Emirates when he had once in a lifetime offers from elsewhere and David Dein fucked off to Monaco.
Best of all he’s stuck to his principles all his career let alone the 20 years of success at Arsenal and played football how it should be.
Arsène FC forever.
Top guy, as ever.
Wenger: I’ve been shot in the chest, one of my lungs is collapsing, I’m not optimistic on my chances of survival, but if I do make it through, I’ll need mechanical assistance for the rest of my life.
Geoff: He’s landed awkwardly on his shoulder there, but he’s a tough cookie, I think he’ll carry on.
Martin: Cheers Geoff!
The RB situation, I think it was telling that the choices were Jenko, Gabriel, and Debuchy wasn’t even named.
Look Debuchy acted badly, I admit, but wow, that is such a huge fall
He said he would be open to a move to United, whilst still being contracted to Arsenal. You can’t just say something like that and expect the manager to be okay with it. He deserves what he’s getting. In my opinion anyway.
Debuchy has been out injured all season, and he in fact is playing his first game of the season right now for our u23’s v spurs u23’s. I’d expect jenkinson to start v utd and in our upcoming games with bellerin out, and Debuchy to play in the eflc game v southampton
Quite a percentage of that interview was Geoff skirting around the question “C’mon…..you think Mourinho is a cunt don’t you? You do don’t you?”
Well, at least he tried…
Cheers Geoff
PL2 HT: Spurs 0-0 Arsenal
