cosanostra Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Anyone else think he's starting to go a little bit mental? http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/04112008/58/premier-league-wenger-accuses-cowardly-stoke.html I like his team and the way they play football but some of the pish he comes out with in interviews is just embarrassing. He's famous for never seeing any incidents that involve his players but he's always very vocal about other players. Van Persie's barge on the Stoke goalie was surely an example of being over physical. Can't help but like the guy and everything he has done for football in the UK but the more I hear and see regarding Arsenal, the more I am starting to think he may not have long left in that job. The fans down there seem to be less content at being a team of artists and showmen and actually want to win things. I think the pressure on Arsene might just be starting to show a little.

benny Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Not a fan of him or Arsenal but he has a point this time.He has lost 2 players through injury from late tackles.Two tackles that the opposing player made no attempt to get the ball.This must be stamped out.So i agree with him this time. Despite the horrific injury their player received last season in the Birmingham game,i thought at least the player went for the ball.So i would say the two tackles on Saturday were worse than that.

sked21 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Wenger is an absolute ******. Like the way he gets his team playing but he's a horribley bitter man. Would agree with that. He thinks becuase his team play some of the best football they deserve to win every game and not be subjected to strong challenges. Especially against the likes of Stoke or Bolton who play "worse football". At times he is a complete ******. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malinga the Swinga Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Worst tackle was the one, I think on Adebayor, when he was actually off the pitch at the time the Stoke guy tackled him. No need as the ball was miles away, and yet nothing done. Followed up by late tackle on Walcott that saw delap again make no attempt to getthe ball, and has seen Walcott dislocate shoulder. All that is done is yellow card. Getting in the opposition faces is all very well, but these tackles were shocking and could result in guys losing their careers.

speedbump Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Some of the tackles that his players have recieved over the years are really bad but he's a proper myopic. He never sees anything by his players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouse Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 his team play fantastic football on there day but are to light weight, they haven't been up for a fight or ready to get stuck in when the chips are down since the Birmingham game last season. Wenger is the bitterest manager in the league, his players have been far from angels over the years but then he wouldn't have seen that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave 1974 Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Read the press after every time Arsenal get beat. A pattern emerges. It used to be a clever way for Arsene to motivate his team. It has become obvious now though, and he has done himself no favours on 'picking' on Stoke City. In an ideal world, Arsene Wenger would love ALL teams to stand off Arsenal, allow them to stroke the ball around and to walk it into the net with minimal to zero contact from the opposition. Thank god for teams and players to say bollox to reputations and get stuck into these fan dancers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Kidd Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I think Wenger has been driven mad by Fergie in his need to win the league with a team of kids. They play pretty stuff but not very effective at winning games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Ian Malcolm Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Wenger just doesn't seem to accept that in England, teams have to win the physical battle as well as the footballing one. Fergie's United teams have been classic examples of this - they played some wonderful stuff, but when other teams wanted to mix it, they were able to match them, then their superior ability told in the end. As for bad tackles - every team suffers. Arsenal tend to complain about it more than most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosanostra Posted November 6, 2008 Author Share Posted November 6, 2008 How many managers 'see' their players bad tackles and condemn them? not many.Nice to another chance for racist comments about the French. I take it the bold bit wasn't aimed at me? He reminds me of Martin O'Neill in that he is a terribly bad loser and never sees the bad tackles and offences committed by his own players. His own player got sent off for violent conduct in that game but he fails to mention that. I like the guy and he has his team playing great football, I just think the pressure is starting to show. Arsenal fans will want to win the prem again sooner or later and if he's not going to be the man to do it, they;ll want someone who might. Not sure if it's because of the big, brand new stadium or if it's because he has supreme belief in his players, but he seems reluctant to spend big in the transfer market. They definitely need a top quality centre half and central midfielder who can tackle. Maybe another striker who can finish as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Romanov Saviour of HMFC Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Wenger is rapidly becoming a bit of a joke. Yes, it's admirable the way he gets his teams to play but you ask Arsenal fans what they prefer - fancy football or trophies and I guarentee it's the later. I think he's finished and they need to bring in a winning manager to get back to the top because let's face it, they are miles off Chelsea and Man U. Some of his policies are just really strange like 1 year contracts for over 30's. Tackling in football is a skill regardless of what you think Arsehole Wenger.

Frankenstein Jambo. Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I dont think any other manager would cope with the demands at arsenal with the amount of money the manager gets to spend.

Maybe john collins should go and work with Wenger - he prefered to play free flowing football and lose than to win ugly! Wenger is an ar*e. He hardly mentioned the tackles after the game and only after the weekend when he started to get flak from fans and the press did he come out with his comments. He's bitter and twisted and is fast losing any admiration people had for him. I'd also say the Delap tackle on Walcott wasn't that bad. I actually thought he'd gone for the ball but Walcott is that fast that if you time it 1/2 a second wrong you'll miss the ball by a mile. It was a very gentle trip and he fell awkwardly - you can hardly say he tried to injure him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair I'd be going mental if I was manager of a team of that quality who just ***** about with the ball infront of goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
