Bouldly going where no man has gone before

Arsene Wenger has hinted that Steve Bould could possibly be his successor as manger of Arsenal.

Bould, who is credited with Arsenal's early season defensive solidity, will take on manager duties this evening as the team travel to France to face Montpellier in the first of their Champions League group games. Wenger faces a three match UEFA touchline ban so control is handed over to Bould.

As a player, Bould was a fan favourite and if he can continue his fine work of turning Arsenal into an impenetrable force then fans will be extremely for him to take over from Arsene whenever the Frenchman feels his time his done.
