This week, American businessman, billionaire, and possible future owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers Stan Kroenke flew into London in order to publicly express his full support of Arsene Wenger.

The Arsene that Laughs Last, Laughs Loudest

Wenger

“If you prick us do we not bleed? If you tickle us do we not laugh? If you poison us do we not die? And if you wrong us shall we not revenge?” — Poet William Shakespeare, who was no doubt actually speaking to Arsene Wenger. Forget what you think you know, everything you know, about revenge. … [More]
