When you play a friendly against a team with the word "Viking" in its name, it's only natural that they will give you a sword. Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger found this out when the Gunners played Norwegian club Viking FK, and the Norwegians thoughtfully presented the Frenchman with a sword.
The boss has just received a pretty unusual gift...#VIKvAFC https://t.co/N2JdVjZsrM

Viking have totally misread Wenger here. Yes, the French are known to be interested in swords, but Wenger probably prefers a rapier to the big heavy thing the Norwegians gave him. Barbarians
This begs the question, though: which player will Wenger stab first? Our money is on Coquelin. Actually, scratch that. Giroud. Definitely Giroud.
Just make sure to not let Jack Wilshere anywhere near it. He's fragile.
