To mark the occasion of Arsène Wenger’s 64th birthday (with apologies to Sir Paul McCartney)
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Since I’ve got older, the last trophy
Was eight long years from now
I hope that you’re saying ‘Give him time’,
Blaming injuries, excusing my whines
If we had come up with FFP
Many years before
Would we still have Roman or Man City
Now I’m sixty-four?
We’ll buy Suarez too
And if you say the word
40 mill plus two
Eight games played and we’re top of the league
Now that Fergie’s gone.
From Jack to Santi to Giroud to Jack
Total football is coming back
Passing the ball, beating AVB,
Who could ask for more?
Will you still need me, (I could go to PSG),
Now I’m sixty-four
Every summer we can buy a big name
Real Madrid don’t need (even if he’s dear)
Ivan: scrimp and save
Mesut Özil signed for me
Higuain wasn’t so brave
Pat Rice has gone, now Steve Bould is here
I’m still in control
Sir Chips will tell me how long I will stay
But don't think I'm going away
Give me a contract, fill in the form
Three more years or four?
You know you still need me, (I signed Ramsey)
Now I’m sixty-four
