WENGER CHARGED BY FA FOR ABUSIVE COMMENTS ABOUT MATCH OFFICIALS! It is being reported that the FA has charged Wenger for storming the officials' room, after the match with WBA, and calling the match officials a bunch of ****s. The man has been a loose cannon since taking Arsenal on a spiral, that saw them finish outside the top 4 in two decades. It seems that the pressure has finally got to the ageing dinosaur, and he cracked, hurling wave after wave of insults at the dumbfounded match officials. The FA has taken a very dim view of the matter. They might very well turn a blind-eye to the odd elbow and Alli-esque swan-dive, but Wenger's trouncing of officials and his undermining of their authority is something that they simply cannot ignore. What punishment do you think the FA will dish-out, lads? I'm hoping for a 4-match touchline ban and a heft fine.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger could cut short his latest contract and move into the boardroom in the summer - and the 68-year-old Frenchman wants Gunners coach Mikel Arteta as his replacement. (Sunday Mirror) So, the old fossil will still be lingering around, like the stench of a rancid fart! And Arteta ffs!
Go easy on Enema, Bruv! He’s one of the more intellectually challenged Gooners and I don’t think we should rip into him quite so hard. I always lace my rips with a lot of leeway.
"Arsene Wenger is not on top of things at Arsenal right now - it looks like he finally knows what's happening with Alexis Sanchez - but it doesn't look like he's going to be able to do anything about it. Players need to look at Arsenal as a big club, and I don't think they do right now, because they keep losing their best players. As soon as someone comes in, they let a few go. Arsenal are a massive club, with a huge turnover, and they should be punching their weight on the pitch." (Steve Claridge, BBC Football Live commentary, Bournemouth v Arsenal) Woah! Go easy, Steve!
They're playing now, you twat! Please, stop embarrassing yourself and us with your complete lack of footy knowledge, Skiddy!
