Arsene Wenger pays tribute to old rival Sir Alex Ferguson
Battles: Wenger (left) and familiar foe Fergie[LNB]Arsene Wenger feels Sir Alex Ferguson has shown special qualities to chalk up 700 Premier League games in charge of Manchester United. [LNB]The 68-year-old Scot - who took charge at Old Trafford in 1986 - is set to reach the landmark in the match at Everton. [LNB]Wenger's relationship with his old adversary has mellowed somewhat in recent years, the pair having more than the odd bust-up when Arsenal and United battled for domestic supremacy. [LNB]The Frenchman - now in his 14th season with the Gunners - has someway to go to catch Ferguson, with 527 Premier League games to date, and paid tribute to the United manager. [LNB]'It is dedication and it is a fantastic achievement,' Wenger said. 'He deserves a lot of credit to show such consistency at the top level which needs special qualities and special dedication. [LNB]'That certainly means 700 sleepless nights before and 700 sleepless nights sometimes after the game.'[LNB] I won't discuss Rooney's personal life!
