Absolutely. Will it be emotional tomorrow night? Of course it will. I wouldn't be evasive or try to get away from that.[LNB]'But regardless of how I'm treated tomorrow night or the reception that I get, nothing will ever take away from the feeling I have for Burnley Football Club. It goes without saying.'[LNB] Why won't Wenger say he's sorry?
