Arsene Wenger has reached the lowest point since becoming manager of Arsenal 16-years ago, former Gunner Emmanuel Petit has admitted.

Following last week's 4-0 drubbing at the hands of AC Milan in the San Siro, Wenger's side went crashing out of the FA Cup at the hands of Sunderland and even those looking at the online casino directory know how disappointing this was.

It was the performance we were often told he was capable of, but had very rarely seen. To fans of the English game, Zlatan Ibrahimovic has always been a shrugging enigma, and not the talented frontman who earned himself a move to one of the greatest teams ever to grace the game, Barcelona.

With Steve Bruce, Neil Warnock and now Mick McCarthy all gone in the Premier Sack Race, the question every football fan is asking will Chelsea boss, Andre Villas-Boas, be next for the chop?

The Portuguese manager has been made a very short priced 5/4 favourite with bookmakers to be the next to join the three already sacked, in the latest betting odds which were shortened following the strong rumours that indicate Blues owner, Roman Abramovic, is becoming increasingly agitated with the current situation at Stamford Bridge.

The 2012 January transfer window was a rather more sedate affair than it's 2011 predecessor. Money was spent much more sensibly this time around as opposed to being thrown around like a compulsive gambler who had hacked into a free bets website.

Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez did not get a move away from the Etihad and Manchester United did not break the bank to sign Wesley Sneijder.

There was a lack of real excitement during the final day of the 2012 January Transfer Window, with none of the Premier League's big names on the move and a subsequent drop in spending from the same day 12 months ago means the latest transfer window closed without much of a noise.

The speculation that ran wild from Sky Sports News reporters situated at Premier League grounds became boring with attention being finally turned to actual fixtures that took place on the night.
