how significant is this for arsenal? arsene wenger, it isa this for arsenal?wenger, it is a big event, he is still probably going to sign a new contract, although he has been playing silly games, as he has been for most of the last few months, is now the most successful manager in the history of the fa cup, he has won it seven times, he beat the record he shared up times, he beat the record he shared up until today with george ramsey, whose last win was in 1920. he's also beaten the best team of the season, josie, who won the league by a street, a massive victory for him and he will say this proves he is right to stay on. —— chelsea. not every fa n right to stay on. —— chelsea. not every fan would agree. really? do you think he will stay on? you should go out when you have just one something with a bit of glory and people in sport are generally terrible at doing that, they allow their start to fade. when martin came in and said the football we looked a bit blankly hash star.|j looked a bit blankly hash star.|j look blankly at football as well but it is somethi
