Good news day - Wenger extends his contract

Yes the man can be frustrating in the extreme, but any Arsenal fan who has called for him to be replaced due to the dearth of silverware over the last few seasons is a fool.

I don't need to spell out what makes the man invaluable to the club... now for pity's sake Arsene, sign a bloody goalkeeper!

Here's what he says on arsenal.com:

"My heart belongs to Arsenal and my desire is to see this team win silverware. My commitment and drive are as strong and fresh as ever. I feel my personal position is that I am as motivated as ever, if not more.

"I have the trust from my board and hopefully of the fans as well and also from the players. I feel that we have not won for a few years now and it is important to get back to winning trophies."

"We maintained the club at the top level but we want to get to the next step, to win trophies and to win the title and the Champions League of course."
