I spoke to some of my colleagues as we waited for Arsene to arrive. "Don't you think some of what has been said about Bowie applies to Wenger too?" I asked them. "Like Bowie, Arsene has changed the game - his game," I argued. "He was an innovator when he changed the eating habits of Arsenal's old back four to get a little bit more out of them when he first arrived here. His football is creative, and entertaining, even if you're not a fan. He's fearless when he takes on Barcelona and tries to beat them at their own game. Like Bowie, he has his own creative vision, and does things how he wants to do them because he believes in himself. Like Bowie, his most loyal fans would even say, 'he is a genius'". Nobody in the press room argued with me.

Can you imagine any other manager in the Premier League, or the world in fact, transcending philosophy, history, pop culture, music, sport - heck, even life - like that? It was poignant. It was thought provoking. It was brilliant. It's already my Quote Of The Year for 2016 and we are only 11 days in. But where did such a statement come from?

It's our brave focus on things that aren't winning titles when we weren't winning things. People made things up to compensate.

With the title within reach, every dropped point was like an unreturned text — all your hopes and dreams just sitting idly in the ether, desperately awaiting validation before ultimately evaporating and falling unexpectedly into someone else's palm.

Could Lionel Messi do it on a wet Wednesday at Stoke? The Barcelona star is convinced he could, according to Spanish journalist Guillem Balague.

Fans and pundits in England have often questioned whether the 28-year-old would enjoy the same success in wintry conditions against physical opponents.

The question was recently put to the Argentina international by Balague, with the five-time Ballon d'Or winner revealing the state of the pitches he grew up playing on in his homeland were far worse than anything he'd be likely to encounter at the Britannia.

During an interview with Stoke City forward and former Barca star Bojan on Sky Sports, Balague said: "I asked Messi about that question.

"He said, 'those people that say that should realise I played in awful conditions in Rosario when I was 11-years-old, with glass on the pitch, with holes and everything.' And, he was still good!

Bojan was in agreement and said Messi would have no problem adjusting to life in England.

"Messi can do it! If he came to the Britannia he would still be just as good.

"I understand that teams don't like to come to the Britannia Stadium, especially in winter with the wind, the cold … and we're a strong team. It's not easy.

"But I try to enjoy it and I try to improve my football in that situation."

susurration- a soft murmur; whisper

alchemy- the magical power or process of transmuting something of little value into

something of great value



The craftsmanship done with pride

once a hide, now formed with care

Eighteen patches of leather

sewn together, filled with air



But pride is pride, nothing more

So for magic to exist

there need be susurration,

of passion, by alchemist



A child's love often the dawn

built upon by legend's tales

Into soul the vision burn'd

of nets turn'd billowing sails



Legend's tales to legend born

and a new morn lights the game

Bringing new tales of wonder

records plundered by new name



Though seemingly mere mortal

the anecdotal is clear

Conjuring touch required

for ball to aspire to sphere



When feat makes us turn to sky

When our eyes the gods have kissed

It is by susurration,

by passion, of alchemist
