FINALLY! Finally Arsenal have seen sense and called time on the self-indulgent final throes of an arrogant, deluded, outdated old man’s career.
For the next few days fans and pundits will lose all sense of reality and perspective and forget how abject Arsene Wenger’s management has been for close to a decade.
FOLLOW all the latest developments on Arsene Wenger’s departure on talkSPORT
People will forget how he inherited the best back five the country has ever seen, not to mention Dennis Bergkamp, Ian Wright, Ray Parlour and Paul Merson.
They will forget all the embarrassing humblings at the hands of Europe’s elite clubs.
10-2 against Bayern, 8-2 against Man United, 6-0 against Chelsea.
They’ll forget the fact we haven’t had a defensive midfielder since Gilberto.
We spent about eight years with a combination of Manuel Almunia, Lukasz Fabianski, Rami Shaaban and Vito Mannone in goal.
We signed Marouane Chamakh, handed the captain’s armband around like a game of pass the parcel and once played Yaya Sanogo up front against Bayern in the Champions League.
‘WENGER OUT’ Arsene Wenger has finally left Arsenal… after months and months of ‘Wenger Out’ banners across the globe
And most importantly they’ll bang on about how much he has done for the club, completely forgetting that he has been happily accepting close to £9million-a-year for season-after-season when he was quite clearly past it.
Just a little reminder everyone, Wenger has not been managing Arsenal out of the kindness of his heart. We’ve made him a multi-millionaire.

No-one can say Wenger wasn’t a great manager for the first ten years of his Arsenal career, and I loved him for it.
But don’t forget he’s been a terrible one for the last decade.
He says he managed us with “integrity”. If he had any integrity he would have left years ago.
And if Gary Neville thinks I’m going to give an “incredible send-off” to the man who’s sponged off my club for years, while turning us into a laughing stock then he’s very much mistaken.
