Read the wonderfully talented Miguel Delaney's take on Arsene Wenger's reign, and where it went so wrong towards the end.
"The Emirates is the house Wenger built. It's impact on him was, however, overwhelmingly restrictive and consumed all his energy during the most challenging years of his reign."
Sean Dyche was still a player when Arsene Wenger managed his first home match with Arsenal
Are these the worst replica shirts you have ever seen? It's up there for me.
This is a nice touch, fans visiting the Arsenal club shop can write a memory in a book for Arsene Wenger. I presume he'll be presented with this, as long as nobody writes #WengerOut
Wenger stats
- 26% of all players that have played for Arsenal have played under Arsene Wenger
- If Wenger went on to manage another 100 games and lose all of them, he would still have the highest win percentage of any Arsenal manager.
- Wenger takes charge of his 606th game as Arsenal manager, 7869 days after his first home match.
Sean Dyche offers his 'massive respect'
Burnley manager Sean Dyche says his players will be focused and will have no place for sentiment once the game starts.
"We've made the players aware there'll be a lot going on and rightly so," he said.
"Massive respect to Arsene Wenger, but when the whistle blows it's all out the window. It's a real game of football. We want as many points as possible."
Here come the players, who are forming a guard of honour for the manager.
'One Arsene Wenger' rings around the Emirates stadium as the manager emerges and waves to the adoring fans who are in special t-shirts.
