Wenger proud to be reaching 1,000 Arsenal game landmark

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is proud his 1,000th game landmark is on the horizon.

Wenger will take Arsenal to Chelsea next weekend for what will be his 1,000th match in charge

"It is a big honour to stay such a long time in such a big club, and that, we cannot predict," said the 64-year-old Frenchman, who was appointed on September 30, 1996.

"I never would envisage that (1,000 Arsenal games).

"We are in a job like you go for the next game and try to do well in that next game. Then step by step, sometimes you get to 1,000."
