Wenger's Autobiography

[Mac76]

This arrived at my house yesterday and I started reading it last night.

Right at the start this is a guy who's whole life is football, and that's all it is - he makes no bones about it and it's kind of refreshing for it.

am looking forwrd to reading through over the week week or two.

Meanwhile i saw his interview last night.

he came across as relaxed and very likeable, but again with a narrow football-orientated view which doesn't go beyond how the game is played - when asked about football's direction in the next ten years he didn't talk about money or ownership or anything he just talked about how the style of play was changing

and he wouldn't name his dream Arsenal 5-a-side because he said he had far too many good players to choose from (those were the days)

and when asked about losing out to Leicester in the PL, he pointed out that Spuds went into complete freefall in the last part of that season

I want this book, but I'm going to wait for a while to see if the price comes down. Then I'll haggle with the shopkeeper until he throws me out.

[Mac76]

part of me thought i should wait and get it given to me for Christmas, but was just too keen to read it, plus there was a special offer if you also signed up for the talk

[Marc Overmars]

Will make a start on it soon, looking forward to reading it. Hope he goes into detail about the post-Emirates era.

Wenger was on his way to the book store when he realised he didn't have any books

[Niall_Quinn]

I've ordered it.

 

In audiobook format for £0.00 as part of the trial! Free transfer! Good business, little bit. Little bit sharpness was all that was needed. Just need to find an app or something to listen to it.

Also, Denilson's book can play there.

I'm in! 6 hours 41 mins of Wenger.

Pre ordered it ages ago but forgot to ammend my address when i moved so its waiting at my parents.

Who i now can’t visit because of lockdown restrictions


I was reading an article about the book in one of the newspapers and it complained that Wenger didn’t talk much about Mourinho. I’m going to assume its because mourinho means nothing to Wenger and only mourinho would get upset about not being in the book!

I like the bit about Tony Pulis' mum

Think I'll wait for Santa to get me it, I already have a big backlog of books - I used to read when I commuted and haven't made enough time for doing so while at home, trying to get back into reading.
Really looking forward to this. Whatever you think about his later years, there's no doubt he is one of the most influential figures in Arsenal's modern history.
And in the first half of his time with us he took us to places I never thought I'd see an Arsenal side go.
Really interested to read his take on the Emirates era.

Was tempted to go to his interview at the Palladium on Monday but decided not to in the end.
