Where's Wenger in all This...?

[dref619]

He didn't see it.

bastard beat me to it

Wenger seems to me to be an honest, clever and down to earth guy. His post match interview was class, can you imagine the tirade from Claret face if we'd done them 4-2?

The latest quotes from the guardian are that GMP say it was Ade's fault:

"The player's goal celebration caused the opposition fans to be aggravated and there was a crowd surge," a police spokesman said. "One of the objects that were thrown caught a steward and knocked him out. It's the decision of the club, the ground security and the FA now whether they want to take the incident any further, but it must have been quite horrific for all the stewards at the time."

Adebayor has apologised for his "mistake", describing himself as "awfully sorry" and accepting that "emotion took over". The police intend to express their concerns to City. "It was not the player throwing the missile, but the fans were reacting to him and his celebration," the spokesman said. "It was the Arsenal fans throwing the missiles, but it was the Manchester City player who was doing the celebrating."

And Hughes has said:

"He has come out very quickly and apologised," the City manager said. "He knows he shouldn't have done it. But I'm not sure how close he ran towards the Arsenal fans. It is not as if he jumped into them. He was still on the field of play. He wasn't waving flags provocatively. He slid on his knees as he always does. He did the same at Blackburn Rovers in front of the Blackburn fans because it's just what he does when he scores great goals. He has shown emotion and you should never take emotion out of sport. But maybe we should cut him some slack when you consider what happened to him in his final season at Arsenal and the breakdown in his relationship with their fans.

"That was the sad part for him. He really loved his time at Arsenal, he will tell you that himself, but for whatever reason he wasn't appreciated by their fans towards the end and that is hard to take as a professional footballer. You want to be loved by your own fans because you get enough abuse from the opposition's. That was the feeling behind it, I'm sure."

And Arsene has said it was "very dangerous"

Wenger is showing his class by not getting involved.

Comments about Wenger do the opposite.

 

[The Pink Panther]

After the arse finish fifth or sixth this season, Wenger will be off and van pussy and fabregas will leave as well.

probably keeping his head down deliberately for a number of reasons. the main one being that arsenal have lost twice in the first five games and blown their chance of winning the title..................

again

Both Wenger and Hughes claim not to have seen the incident , Wenger saying that he'd like to see the tv replays of it ....... but as at the Swamp the other week Wenger seems intent on saying little about controversial incidents anymore , saying that they just get him into lumber with the powers that be.

Albeit, he had no hesitation in calling the rags "ugly football" merchants.

 

[Bigga]

He's probably ashamed about that statement, the one with the provably false assertion (a bit like Spud-head's claim he never dives), and the attempt to get another player shown a red card. I don't think Arsene cleared that statement. Does anyone?

That's true.

It was seems... 'anti-Wenger' if you know what I mean!

Very bizarre!

I'm beginning to think the Arse don't deserve him. He is a class act and too good for the likes of them.

 

[ExiledGooner]
