Look let me say one thing. Personally, I like Arsene Wenger.
He is a respected coach, he gets his teams to play quality, attractive, fan-pleasing football.
He has probably done more than any other manager to bring continental style football, diet and culture to England
I have no reason to hate Arsenal or Arsene.
But..................................
Sometimes he is as stupid as a box of bricks.
His selective blindness is infuriating in the extreme.
Words of wisdom for you Arsene. It's o.k. to tell the truth every now and again even when it means letting your players know they have been wrong. Honesty sometimes is cleansing
Anyone who watched the incident against Celtic on Wednesday would know:-
1. Eduardo dived
2. He did it deliberately
3. He did it in order to win a penalty.
No questions, no doubt. It's a fact. Accept it, move on.
Wengers view?
"I believe you can debate whether it is a penalty or not. But this charge implies there was intent and a desire to cheat the referee. Having seen again the pictures again, nothing is conclusive. "
Arsene, you are mad as a barrel load of monkeys.
Wenger added that European football's governing body would have difficulty proving the 26-year-old intended to deceive the referee.
I don't think so. Their 2 hour disciplinary hearing on the matter will involve the following:-
2.00 pm to 2.05 pm: watch the video
2.05 to 2.10: draft the 2 game ban in a short press release.
2.10 to 2.20: make a cup of tea.
2.20 to 2.35: rustle up a couple of 20p's for the pool table
2.35 to 3.00: pool competition.
3.00 to 3.20: discuss Mansfield Town's impressive start to the season
3.20 to 3.30: argue over whether the biscuit of choice for
football executives is the custard cream or the bourbon
3.30 to 3.55 Quick round robin game of Fifa '09 on the xbox
3.55 to 4.00 Straighten ties ready to face the press.
Job done, rant over.
