His body language on the touchline was that of a frustrated and unhappy figure, he's a deluded figure and since David Dein buggered off after bringing us the double kick in the balls of Kroenke and Usmanov felt like he had to take on the role of Atlas and do everything himself and the greedy, incompetent laissez faire board let him do it.

I'm not saying I'm definitely right, but I think part of him feels in signing a new contract he's doing the board a favour.
Well he gets paid 8 million pounds a year to experiment and use the team as some kind of "personal" project. It's not just about the nasty board. He's in a very privileged position IMO.

I'll tell you one thing, Wenger wouldn't get away with this in any other leading European team or any of our top 4 rivals, he knows this too.
