arsenal used to be called boring arsenal, but they weren't boring after wenger came in.hanged the concept completely. jane: did helso change the way that players were trained? tommy: he did. nobody really knows how he trained them. there has been a lot of things said about his training methods and whether they were right or wrong. t he end of the day, my mother always said the proof of the pudding is in the eating, and the proof of soccer is when you win it, and he knew how to win. 's certainly new how to get the teams right. but ve years ago, jane, on espn, i suggested that wenger should leave or at least go upstairs, go somhere, because i felt that the game was passing him by. you should see the things that were written about me on twitteie it was unbelble. even my owmother -- they were after my mother as well as me because i suggested that wenger should g arsenal fans were very loyal to him, but that has changed around because i imagine if wenger had gone five years ago and arsenal had brought in aew manager, they would have won two championships since then. it is a s
