And he only started speaking French when he was seven. So German is actually his first language.
That's enough trivia for one day
Wenger's father was forced into the German army during WWII therefore hates Germans
Arsene Wenger started speaking French at the age of 7, that's in 1955/56
Morocco broke away from French rule in 1955 (Chamakh)
Also the Ivory Coast gained independence from France in 1956 (Gervinho)
Wengers mental problems clearly run very deep and for me it is all starting to add up
I fear what I have started with questioning Podolski's inclusion! But it all makes sense!

Poldoski is a German (and Polish but forget that) and Germany invaded France, more than once.
Arshavin is a Russian and the Russians stopped the French under Napoleon taking Moscow.
I don't usually take any notice of conspiracy theories but this one might have legs.
He's a Pole...He has even got a Polish name ....if a name ends in Ski or Ska (masculine/feminine versions of the same surname) its POLISH Na zdrowie !
According to Wikipedia:-
In 1987, when Podolski was two years old, his family emigrated from Poland to West Germany and were given Aussiedler status as a result of his paternal grandparents having German citizenship prior to World War II (Gliwice had until 1945 been a part of Germany as Gleiwitz).
Podli holds a Polish and a German passport. And history shows he is more German than Polish.

Sorry, but this conspiracy is beyond question.
I'm definitely on board with it. And quite frankly this surely goes against the whole 'Arsenal for Everyone' and that world flag we had, therefore it's surely enough to give Wenger the boot...
