i think arsene was very good points here. its the team first mentality and pushing yourself as an individual to build cohesion in the team that makes arsenal work well.
this is obvious in how arsene runs the team. no one player is bigger than the club and we are strong enough that we can always find a valid substitute to take the place of a player that has let the club.
unfortunatley, the team emphasis isnt apparent on other teams where their players seem to overshadow the team-whether its a player flirting with a spanish club in madrid, or a player whining about their manager being fired by their russian owner and threatening to leave.

henry left because he was bigger than the club. it was time to let him go and it was obviously the right desicion. there was trouble with adebayor over the summer, and while i think we should have let him go, he apologizred and the team is working again.

arsene knows.

Strikes me as a bit odd that this would be labelled "Confidential". While it is great to see that Wenger is also looking after the team's mental fitness, nothing in that letter is of a secret nature. It was mostly generic pep talk material. Perhaps it was just the letterhead it happened to be printed on.

What a load of crap... looks like he copied down phrases from every middle manager's motivational poster he could get his hands on. Fourteen generic bullet points on teamwork, hooray!

This is why we have the Thanksgiving holiday in the US - so we can limit this BS to one day a year...

Oh Arsene, you froggie genius, you had me at "This attitude can be used by our team to focus on the gratitude and the vitally impor tant benefits "

PFFT.
