In this season of Leicester City and their Hollywood story,
it is easy for some achievements to go by unnoticed. Rotherham staying
up, the resurgence of Barnsley, and Northampton's triumph through
adversity, just three examples of relative success that should be
applauded.

A letter to Arsene
This open letter first appeared in issue 258 of The Gooner
Dear Arsene,
Why does it have to end like this?
When you arrived in 1996, I will be honest and say I was a little unsure. But it only took a few weeks to convince me that there was something different about you. Just one glimpse of Patrick Vieira was enough to highlight your knack of spotting a player, and your knowledge of the French market saw you deliver players such as Petit, Anelka, Pires, and rescue Henry from his Italian nightmare. Within a couple of years you brought us the double, and you were probably just a penalty kick away from repeating the feat again in 1999.
