in UK should do something (protests, show banners, chants, boycott, whatever)... I know there are still fans who support Wenger, but you also should demand more from Wenger, I assume you are discontent with the results and the transfer policy... Doing nothing, our 4th - place trophy is

nt and can get aggravated because
not all can wait
in a
in a heavy box for too long and if you do well you become weak so it will take some effort to get back to full strength praying that you do
nt get a strain or muscular problem players
mangers coaches and physician know that i know that because
not long ago i had bad thigh injury all was fine with it then i got a knock just below my knee 3 weeks ago and there is still slight pain
in it but will try and play on Thursday thats part of the game The manager has to account for it

not better than athletico Madrid but they have a
manger that gets 100 % out of every player, Klopp is the same, but why would they leave their clubs to come here with a boar that cares about money
