Sagna

Arsene Wenger is credited as a pioneer in the use of sports nutrition in the Premier League, cleverly phasing out the cakes and lager in the Arsenal players’ diet and substituting them with healthy, if inedible, protein infusions in his eternal quest for points and cups.

It seems, however, that he may have pushed things too far, as at least one player has snapped. Creeping out in the dead of night last Saturday, none other than full back and gastronome Bacary Sagna was spotted at 3 am shoving a double burger with fried egg into his face at the fine kosher eaterie ‘My-Ami Burger’ on the Golders Green Road. “In case you were wondering,” says our spotter, “and you probably weren’t,” he wisely adds, “the name of said burger bar is a pun on the word ‘ami’ which is hebrew for the Jewish people.”

Seen any other Arsenal players going off-menu recently? Feel free to comment below.

    what about Frank Lampard splurging out on two ‘tasty corners’ from the world-renowned Tasty Corner of Chalk Farm Road?

    Dietician - more details about a “tasty corner” please. The Spoiler has never been able to get past Marine Ices on Chalk Farm Road - are we missing something?
