The end of the international break is bringing the Premier League back into focus, and so inevitably Arsenal aren't far from people's minds.

And it seems as though former Gunners star Paul Merson has got a plan for the North Londoners to win the Premier League.

It just isn't a plan that anyone seems to agree with.

Speaking on Sky One's comedy sports panel show A League Of Their Own, Merson claimed that if only Arsene Wenger was more like ex-Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp, the Gunners would be in with a chance of glory.

"People say he's a wheeler-dealer and it's so disrespectful," said Merson, who played under both Wenger and Redknapp during his career.

"Tactically, he's one of the best I've worked with. If Arsene Wenger had Harry Redknapp's tactical nous, Arsenal would win the league."

Now obviously Merson rates Redknapp highly because the pair won the old Division One together while with Portsmouth, but it is safe to say that his comment was met with more than a little surprise on Twitter.

Are you sure, Paul?

A League of Their Own continues Thursday, 9pm, Sky 1.
