ARSENALNFRIENDS - Arsenal Forum for Arsenal Fans

Wenger says growing up living in a pub helped teach him the secrets of being a successful football manager.... hahahaha...... that is very funny...

The Frenchman's parents owned a bistro called La Croix d'Or in Duttlenheim where he would spend hours studying the behaviour of the football-loving customers.

"There is no better psychological education than growing up in a pub," Wenger said. "because when you are five or six years old you meet all different people and hear how cruel they can be to each other.

"You hear the way they talk to each other like saying 'You're a liar.' And from an early age you get a practical psychological education into the minds of people. It is not often that a boy of five or six is always living with adults in a little village.

"I even learned about tactics and selection from the people talking about football in the pub... who plays on the left wing and who should be in the team."

Very insightful indeed..... Well done, Le Boss...

Maybe he need to go to pub more often these days as we need to win something huge this season.

haha. Oh come on, real gunner. Get off Le Boss and give him one last chance. I believe we can win something this season.

hahaha..sure..Hope we win something good to ice-down the fans rage!!For me,title or no title i'm still Arsenal all the way..

interesting. I did not know Wenger's parents own a pub.
