A win so vital as Wenger on shaky ground

Tonight’s FA Cup semi-final against Wigan is one of the most important in Arsene Wenger’s entire career — and will go a long way to deciding his future.

In the current opinion polls Arsene Wenger is cast as a fool, a man who should be ushered quietly off the stage and into retirement. Yet in November he was a genius, a man who had stuck by his principles and was being rewarded as Arsenal played some of the finest football since he arrived at the club in 1996.

So which is he, a fool or a genius? Well he certainly isn’t a fool, but many would question if he is a genius.
