furrows of success
Apart from the grooves of a record (for those that remember them) and the lines on one's brow, a "sillon" is a furrow ploughed in the earth (la glèbe).
And what better references than football, especially Arsène Wenger, and Our Lord Jesus Christ (who I suspect for many people are one and the same). All spiced up with a bit of Eric Cantona for good measure.
The truth is that Wenger never needed to have his commitment certified while Arsenal were PLOUGHING NEW FURROWS OF SUCCESS. Now that they are out of Europe ...
