Wenger as a kid!

He's maintained the same hairstyle for like 60 years

Wenger's hair is so sick. Blessed.

Wenger was once a kid?

LOL, Wenger must have been a menace as a kid.

Arsene kid

Well, it's two and a half months old, but still interesting :L.

Robin van Persie has scooped the Football Writers’ Association Player of the Year award to add to his PFA Player of the Year award. He is the first Arsenal player to win both accolades since Thierry Henry (2003/04) and also joins legendary compatriot Dennis Bergkamp (1997/98) in doing the double.

While many had tipped the Dutchman to win both gongs, nothing is a sure thing with the Football Writers’ Association who have in the past taken it upon themselves to honour *bleep* likes Teddy Sheringham, Fat Frank, Scotty chicken legs, Wazza, David Ginola and Jurgen Klinsmann. Anyway on this occasion they appear to have seen sense…

Here’s what FWA chairman Steve Bates, chief football writer at The People said: “Robin was the overwhelming choice of our members this season and deservedly so after a magnificent campaign for Arsenal.

“The quality of his goals, attacking movement and consistency in a turbulent season for The Gunners has been eye-catching.

“The considerable size of his majority in the votes cast by our members reflected the general view that he has been the season’s most outstanding individual performer.”

Congratulations to Robin. Be sure to punch a few of the greasier hacks in the gullet for all the bollocky transfer rumours they keep making up when you pick up the award.

Bacary Sagna says he is flattered by Arsene Wenger’s belief that he is the best right-back in the country, although he insists he only looks forward and not back – thankfully he’s not talking literally, otherwise he’d not be such a great defender.

The French international, who missed four months of the season after breaking his ankle against Spurs at White Hart Lane, has been a fundamental part of Arsenal’s revival since February netting a vital goal in the North London derby and providing a solid platform for Theo Walcott’s end of season renaissance.

Speaking to lyonne.fr after Saturday’s 0-0 draw with Chelsea – a match which was his 200th for the Gunners – the former Auxerre man reflected:

“It’s flattering. At the same time, my goal is to be the best. It’s hard to critique yourself, but I was voted best right side of England twice in four years. This is quite satisfactory. I hope to strengthen my position even though I was injured this season.”

Pinpointing the key to his success, Sagna made clear that being mentally tough was key.

“Especially [strong in] the mind,” he continued. “This is what makes the difference with other players. I’ve never asked any questions. I’ve always looked ahead, trying to reach the next level.”

“I am now ensconced in the club, it is much like Auxerre but larger, in the sense that it is a family club and very very open. In the four or five years [I’ve been at Arsenal], I have also acquired a taste for London life.”

Strangely, despite being ace, Sagna isn’t nailed on for a place in the France squad for Euro 2012. Having been out injured for so long, manager Laurent Blanc has been very open about testing new blood in the full-back positions with Sagna now having to mount a late charge ahead of the UEFA showpiece tournament in Ukraine and Poland.

He doesn’t seem that fussed though, nonchalantly stating: “I hope to be on top in time, even if the hierarchy was a little upset during my absence.”

Let’s be honest. You’d be a brave man to take his place.

Ok that sounds good but I rather lose that money and never see them win.
