Wenger out to mark a milestone

20th anniversary celebrations marred by slipping status

Arsene Wenger memorably announced his arrival as a revolutionary force in England by banning his players from eating sweets, but the Arsenal manager's reign has turned increasingly sour as he marks the 20th anniversary of his appointment.

Arguably the most significant agent of change in the Premier League era, the 66-year-old's achievements in revitalizing both Arsenal and English soccer will rightly be celebrated in this milestone week for the urbane Frenchman.
