by Myles Palmer

Idealistic, passionate and scientific, Arsène Wenger led the modernisation of English football.

Now completely revised and updated to include Arsenal's triumphant campaign to the 2006 Champion's League final, Wenger's induction into the English Football Hall of Fame and all the highlights from the 2007/08 season,The Professor tracks the highs and lows of Wenger's decade at Arsenal, his teams, his methods, his successes and failures, and asks what the future holds for the man who reinvented the beautiful game.

I started this book with a lot of expectations of a good read. It, however, it is dull and boring I’m not going to waste more time struggling to find something interesting in it’s prose.

Really enjoyable read and made me realise what a truly all time great Arsene was. A true master of the game.

For football fans only (not just Arsenal fans). Wenger is so obsessed with football if it doesn't interest you, this book won't interest you. His training methods were revolutionary at what used to be "Boring, boring Arsenal".

info is a bit dated, and the book seems to fail in elaborating Wenger's football philosophy which is most fascinating to many readers (including me)
