there is arsene wenger, so much speculation about him. l the criticism that he had received, remember there is a large section of those arsenal fans who have cold for his head throughout the season, ask them to leave. it compounded their disappointment that they finished outside the top four for the first time in his 20 years. there will be no champions league football for arsenal next season. but my word, that piece of silverware waiting for them at the top of the steps is certainly going to put a gloss on this season. there is a board meeting at the emirates, the arsenal board our meeting, apparently it is com pletely board our meeting, apparently it is completely split down the middle whether they want arsene wenger to stay or go. what bearing rovers results have on that? and arsene wenger is first around the corner and up out onto that middle tier where all the gentry, all the vips are gathered. and he walks past that trophy, and then the players come in behind him. they fought so hard. it was a performance that we just didn't see happ
