Arsenal lost key players Cesc Fabregas, Samir Nasri and Gael Clichy and suffered an 8-2 defeat at Manchester United.
Wenger managed to salvage something with a flurry of deadline-day signings, which escaped ourselves (Newcastle).
We got deadline day promises ... and bugger all else.
Arsene Wenger: "In my job, you expect to suffer. So that's why when I go to hell one day, it will be less painful for me than you, because I'm used to suffering.
"I could write a book about the summer. It was the most disturbed we have had since I have been here.
"The book would be quite an interesting read. Not because of me, but because of all that happened. It was unbelievable."
Eeeeee ... doesn't it make yer heart bleed.
