08:45 AM ET 09.02 | Arsene Wenger insists another arduous summer at the Arsenal helm has not pushed him closer to retirement and is indeed energized by the prospect of building another great team. "There are still miles in my legs," he said ahead of Sunday's meeting with Liverpool at Anfield. "In life it is like you are going on a mission and it does not cross my mind to finish. You work as long as you can." In contrast to his new-look side, however, Wenger feels motivated by the prospect of building a new squad capable of ending the club's well documented seven-year wait for a trophy, even if the task has made more difficult with last season's top goalscorer now in the colors of a direct rival.

(a) I think that Wenger's time may have come and gone. Or maybe he needs to move onto another club that's willing to give him to get the horses to compete with ManU and the Jonny-come-latelies that have moved to the top of the EPL table.

(b) You think the interns would have come up with a far better picture of Wenger that this one. It looks like it was taken by a 70's era Instamatic with a 110 catridge.
