Mr. Agreeable
Reports that he turned down an opportunity to be part of some video message played during the legends match. Has his relationship with AW soured or is he just be cautious and making sure he doesn't taint his new job offer?

If those reports are true then it's an indication of a problem between them. I highly doubt Roberto Martinez would mind him recording a message to be played at the match so I don't think he'd be concerned about that. Playing obviously is another issue since that would be a bit of a piss take to skip a day of work in your first couple of weeks on the job. There may well be a problem between them though. Petit was quoted as saying that Vieira is "disgusted" with the way Wenger treats his former players. I don't think he'd put that out there lightly.

Actually he is the third in charge....He is the second assistant manager. Agree that it is a weird appointment and Arteta is doing it right.

It pains me to read that his relationship with Wenger could be rocky... Surely this isn't the case?
Got so much love for the great man.
Anyhow - I hope he succeeds as an assistant and learns all he can before coming home to teach our players a thing or two.

Could be something going on there:

Sad to see.

Don't get what he is saying , Steve Bould is an ex player , Freddie Ljungberg is now coaching assistant with the U18's . I am pretty sure Pires helps out at Arsenal as well .

Yeah it's strange but why would he say those things if there weren't some element of truth. Clearly he's still friends with Paddy so why would he put his friend an awkward position like that if they didn't have some kind of issue with Wenger. Regardless, I just think it's sad. They all accomplished some truly amazing things together and I wish everyone got along well. We could use the influence of some of the other great Invincibles at the club now, probably Vieira more than anyone.

Seems TH14 didn't get off to the expected start. ****ing Martinez the clown will be gone in no time at all. Not sure why he joined that sinking ship...

They were playing Spain though, in what I'm guessing was both of their first games.

I might be well wrong but TH14 doesn't strike me as managerial material...

League is very weak
What's the obsession on here about Wenger maybe falling out with former players?

Sounds like the sort of young girl's birthday party we'd see you at
Disastrous beginning yesterday. Matinez has learned nothing. Still constructed a team with no defensive nous whatsoever.

Henry wasn't a bad Sky pundit to be fair but he had the same problem as Ian Wright.
Those around you are all signed up to the Piers Morgan type anti-Arsenal propaganda sh*t (eg 'same old, same old', defensive frailties, Wenger tactically clueless etc etc) and there's only so long you can keep talking sense against it, eventually the force of derision from other pundits and furious phone-in idiots makes you join in. To be fair both Wrighty and Henry held out for a long time.
Going back to the Emirates once you've signed up to the dark side is very difficult, particularly to coach the youngsters. Henry realised this.

That sounds interesting.

Think some of the former players are still thinking they are the dog's bollocks. A dose of humility would not go amiss, especially when they have zero experience in management.

I have always felt the same and still have not changed opinion. Arteta looks tO BE, Per as well.
