Shocked Wenger thanks English football community for its solidarity with France

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger believes trying “to get on with life” is the best response to the ongoing threat of terrorism.

Wenger was in Paris last Friday when the terrorists struck across the French capital, including three suicide bombers detonating vests outside the Stade de France where the national team were playing Germany.

The 64-year-old had himself been set to attend the match, but a last-minute change of plans meant he watched the game on television from his hotel. The death toll from the series of attacks stands at 129 with many more seriously injured.
