Arsene Wenger and the future of the EU
Some people think football is a matter of life and death, said legendary Liverpool manager Bill Shankly, adding: “I assure you, it’s much more serious than that.” And we can see today just how important it is, by focusing on the impact of football, and of Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger in particular, on the very future of the European Union. For all the nonsense that was spouted by politicians in both camps of the in/out debate in the EU referendum, if we’d just listened to Arsenal fans we’d have had a much clearer picture of what the debate was really about. And we can still spot clues for what might happen in Europe over the next 12 months or so, with forthcoming elections in France, Germany and the Netherlands, by paying heed to Gunners’ supporters.
