Sunderland’s Allardyce keen to end feud with Wenger

But when one is born, like me, in a little farming village, it could be seen as extraordinary to find that you end up being the manager of Arsenal. It doesn’t frustrate me that I had to leave, that I didn’t get the chances there, because I am happier now.

“We’ve got a particularly hard December, the challenge for us is to maintain our results”.

“I don’t know”, Wenger told a press conference via Arsenal Player when asked on the severity of the respective injuries.

And players such as Seb Coates and Younes Kaboul, who endured a nightmare start to his Black Cats’ career, have improved immeasurably under him.

Goal.com imagined him “jammin’ along in his vehicle on the way to training”, while Whoateallthepies.tv claimed: “Wenger loves nothing more than winding down with a bit of irie Natural Mystic”. I had a chat with Alexis after his injury and he was adamant he felt flawless before the game because we tested his strength, stretching, all the signs we have we test every week were ideal.

“It was making my team more and more successful”.

“I had some good fun with Arsene in the early years. That’s why I’m still here”.

“If we got two over double figures – and if we can keep the defensive side of it – it will nearly guarantee us to pick up points and get out of this position, no problem”.

Arsenal head into the game as favourites, despite drawing 1-1 with Norwich last time out, with bet365 offering just 2/9 on a home win.

Allardyce might seem like an unlikely ally when it comes to assessing Wenger’s continued suitability for his role, but the Sunderland boss feels the constant criticism of the Frenchman is merely a by-product of his remarkable success in the past.

Those players have all proven they can perform on the biggest stages in the game, and won numerous biggest accolades the sport has to offer. We produced enough to win the game. This game will be a good one and I think that there is some real value in it so I will be putting my money on it.
