Amazingly, Wenger has recently been working with his defence separately. At the start of the season, when Steve Bould started it and received praise, Wenger stopped it. Now Wenger has started doing this himself, as it his own idea now. Isn't that despotism?

Yes, Arsenal have improved recently (funnily enough, at the same time as Walcott and Wilshere out of the side. Has anyone else noticed this?). However, in my opinion, Arsenal closing in on fourth place has had more to do with the stuttering form of Spurs and Chelsea. If Arsenal do finish in the top four, unfortunately the media will probably heap undeserved (imho) praise on Wenger. Until he doesn't spend much of Arsenal's money in the summer, what he does spend, he spends badly and then keeps to many poor players on Arsenal's books.
