Arsenal confirm 2007/08 season review DVD to feature director’s cut

ARSENAL'S ANNUAL season review DVD will this year contain an extended director's cut after Arsene Wenger admitted the version released in football grounds across Britain hadn't chimed with his original artistic vision.

The director's cut is thought to be two months longer (Approx running time: August 12 to May 21) and will include goals, trophies and celebrations that were left on the cutting room floor when the original was edited.

"Arsene is an artist, an auteur," said an Arsenal spokesman. "He feels that commercial pressures such as transfer market and need for a 'results based' league table meant he wasn't able to produce satisfactory final cut of 2007/08, which many critics had predicted would be his Goodfellas or Home Alone."

In the new version it is thought that Wenger will focus more on themes of flowing football, youngsters doing really well and Eduardo walking than the commercially released version, which he described as "Hollywood trash" and "shit". It will also feature a new ending with the reintroduction of the original denouement in which William Gallas lifts the Champions League trophy rather than the current ending, a 1-0 win at Sunderland with nothing to play for.

The DVD will also contain a "making of featurette and tons of hilarious out-takes and gaffes" according to Wenger. In the making of featurette Wenger admits that they all had a great time filming, Bacary Sagna is a joy to work with while Pat Rice often forgot his lines. Gaffes include Philipe Senderos struggling to open the door to his car while leaving the training ground and Tomas Rosicky mistakenly setting himself on fire when trying to make an omelette.
