As for RVP, I feel sorry for him to be honest, due to the sheer quantity of the time at Arsenal that he's spent injured. It must make up, if added together, a huge amount of time and if it wasn't for those injuries, maybe he could achieve more. My major gripe about that is the number of Arsenal players this applies to. Did you see the news that Wilshere is out until October at least? He's already missed a whole year! What does Wenger do in training? He needs to take responsibility for this, as this doesn't occur every season at other clubs, but now it does every season at Arsenal. You can be sure we'll have more players out before the season starts. I think it maybe time Arsenal fans show their disgust by not turning up. I think that's probably the only language Kroenke will understand.

He has marginal success in his US teams. Wikipedia.com tells his tale over here and abroad in the UK. It's probably worth reading about all of that there to make it easier.
