Former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger shakes hands with Arsenal majority owner Stan Kroenke

WHAT a week. It’s not often you can say we’ve all lived through history.

It’s rare to say that the inspiring union of humble solidarity has routed billionaires in sport. Stirringly, these last few days have demonstrated that football lovers united will never be defeated. 

Of course the fight is still ongoing with many battles yet to come, but the unity displayed by everyone who genuinely cares about our game was as awe-inspiring as it was powerful, and as vital as it was beautiful to see.
