He did this three times. Each time, the fans called for him to do it and gave a big cheer when he did.

Galinsky's CL Preview: Arsenal FC (ENG) v FC Barcelona (SPA)
Easily the most high profile tie of the round, Arsenal will welcome Barcelona back to the Emirates again, eager to erase the memory of Lionel Messi’s 4 goal master class last season, a match which thoroughly humbled the North London side. Barcelona are once again leading the pack in La Liga, and only recently had a 16 match win streak snapped after a goalless draw with Sporting Gijon. This matters little though, as Barca have been flawless once again in the group stages and come to London full of confidence and desire. There is little that isn’t known about the Catalans, so expect Xavi, Iniesta, Messi, Villa, and co. to bring all they have to offer. Galinsky's CL Preview: AS Roma (ITA) v Shakhtar Donetsk (UKR)

Wenger blames Barton
"It was a completely unnecessary sending-off, and I believe Joey Barton was very lucky to stay on the pitch for the tackle on Diaby." Wenger said after he saw his side give up a 4 goal lead at St. James Park to see them draw against Newcastle 4-4.
"It's a shame [for Diaby] because he had a great first half. Sometimes you could understand when he has a bad game, but he had an outstanding game. I explain that by the fact that he has been injured so many times from bad tackles that he lost a bit quickly his nerves because this boy has been out for a long time and many times. Certainly the tackle provoked his reaction. Mathematically, it’s two points; psychologically, the damage is a bit bigger tonight because everybody is, of course, very, very disappointed in the dressing room. But only the future will tell." the manager concluded.
Wenger names his replacement
Wenger has named the man who he thinks should replace him as Arsenal manager and it is the Dragan Stojkovic.

"They made me feel really good there for three-and-a-half fantastic seasons. I understand they will be angry and will not understand my decision. Maybe in a few days or weeks I will explain all the reasons.
"When I was an Atletico Madrid fan growing up, I couldn't understand it when a big player left. But with time I could understand they did the best for themselves, their families and their careers.
