This is a very true story. Not a joke I promise you all. Ok here goes.
My cousin lives off the Finchley Road near Totteridge and Whetstone.
We are in Waitrose. We come out the back door so to speak. My cousins says
" This man coming towards us really looks like Wenger "
Who's walking up the slope coming towards us?
Arsene! Turns out he lives around the corner. Pops into Waitrose regular on his own and the restaurant along the road .
Anyhow we stop for a brief moment and chat shake his hand etc .
Guess what he says? You will never believe it if I told you.
Well to be fair I'm not a snitch so It would not be right so all I'm going to say is that he was really pleasant and genuinely nice.
I will tell you all in a few months .
TRUE STORY .

Come on! You've got to realise how that sounds? You'll tell us after the transfer window shuts, then can pick a player and tell us all that's who you were told. What will you say when we don't sign anyone else?

He lives halfway down Totteridge lane on the right, just on a little street. Mike Ashley lives in a house over the other side of tott lane, and David dein is off of totteridge lane not far from Wenger, near wengers old house (he moved two years go)

Don't believe that story one bit.
Wenger in Waitrose?
Has he been banned from Poundland for haggling?

May I never see my kids again boys .
I wouldn't say that I promise.
And! I don't need to tell lies seriously .
Mark-AFC-Abbott .
I will tell you what he said and! who said anything about him talking to us about transfers anyway?
You don't think Wenger is going to start reeling off his plans to me or anyone he meets in the street do you .
That's a bit naive to say the least.

if your not a "snitch" then your saying its something not known to the public. I find it very hard to believe given how close wenger holds his cards to his chest. Not sure why you would wait a few months.
13 Jul 2016 13:03:56
Mark-AFC- Abbott.
Why not wait a few months? Seems reasonable to me .
Oh! Ok then Mark just because it's you mate.
It went like this.
I'll tell you later my phones ringing.
13 Jul 2016 13:36:35
Did Wenger tell you that the bread goes half price one hour before closing?
13 Jul 2016 13:40:28
He is leaving arsenal and told you the new manager lol.

Ok mate seeing it's you this is what happened .
My Cousin who is in his 80s
" I'm sure that's Wenger "
Me " Yeah you are right Jim it is "
As he approaches us .
My cousin " Hello Arsene how are you? "
Shaking hands at this point .
Arsene "Very well thank you "
My cousin " Doing some shopping? "
Arsene " Yes I'm getting some pastries "
Me " I bet you are busy at the moment, Can I ask you if you have any surprises coming in? "
Arsene . Smiles 😊 "We will have to wait and see we are always looking "
Me. "Would you like a coffee with us? "
Arsene. "Are you mad you will get me talking and tell everyone on that football site especially
Mark Abbot and Dags "
No he never said the last bit I made that up .
That was it really . We stood chit chatting for 5 minutes and I borrowed £1 for the trolley off of Arsene and we went on our way .
Mark I never really borrowed a pound mate!
I was joking about that bit too .
He was alright mate.
13 Jul 2016 14:09:32
If so I can only hope the surprise is, Griezmann.
13 Jul 2016 15:12:57
Lanesra, so Arsene mentioned me?
Oi oi, get in Dags, lol :-)
14 Jul 2016 09:00:35
Yep Dags I had to stop him going on and on mate .
Dags this and Dags that . He done my head in.
😂.
