    Some numbers can be taken in two different ways – either praise for Arsenal for being so patient and stable, holding on to their manager while everything around him, including David Moyes and Alex Ferguson has changed jobs, or find a way to criticize Arsene Wenger once again for turning all the great work he’s done with the gunners during the first half of his reign into one big failure during the last eight seasons.
