using that logic, whatever wenger says is good enough for you too. he clearly loves the club, is a legend so you cant complain about him

Well its not clear is it if hes happy with us being a laughing stock

TBF and this is not a subtle attempt at showing him the door, few would argue against AW tryimg his hand at international management, akthough having not won the CL will grate somewhat. . .

Seeing Wenger leave (for all its supposed positives) worries as to who would replace him! and for those who desire his apparent (death), its not as easy as saying 'anyone would be better'. . .think long and hard haters

Speaks sense because you want Wenger gone, not that you agree he'd suit international footie.

Couldnt care less if he suited it or not. As long as hes out of here.

If he does suit it then all the better as it makes it more likely he will go.

Arsenal are predictable, weak and lacking a winning mentality, says Dennis Bergkamp, ahead of Milan clash

What he says, is correct, in a way....but the headline is as out of place as a fart in a spacesuit.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hope that wasn't Smudger's headline.

Cracking analysis from Arseblog here, btw, on Dennis' comments.

I tend to agree.

Furthermore, it's nice to see such comments from Dennis. I can't help but feel he'll make a great manager sooner or later.

a fart in a spacesuit.

I have never understood why the expression is "as popular as a fart in a spacesuit". The smell of your own farts is fine - it's the smell of other people's farts. Should be "as popular as a fart in a space capsule".

The second point on mentality is harder to quantify. How do you define English mentality? Dennis was privileged to play alongside one of the greatest defences that football has ever seen. The players were English, but their confidence and determination was drawn from a belief in each other…not necessarily their nationality. I think it would be hard to suggest that Vermaelen, Sagna, Koscielny and Szczesny don’t have the desire and heart to win big games…

Thankfully a non-English-English person has said it. If Ian Wright had said it there would be an outcry of 'xenophobic commentary'. Dennis might not be English-English but he is English. pen bottling class avec un extra slice of petulance. Arseblogger talks about Wilshere, Van Persie and Vermaelen as our only players who'd step up in face of adversity. I would remove Vermaelen from that list because I haven't seen him do it yet even though he's capable. I'll tell you another one - Carl Jenkinson. Untalented, garbage, spongebob-filth of a player. Play him against Barcelona and he's less likely to get skinned than Sagna. Guaranteed. Ghels imo.
