How can you not love the Voyeur when he comes out with such gems as this
And all because Hull got a Wednesday off and he didn't
It's Hull, Wenger, at home, grow up (oh, and please win, I have money riding on this)
"We have some teams who do not play at all. We play Sunday and Wednesday away and at home on Saturday against Hull, who have not played all week."
By 'some' he means two - Hull and Stoke get a week off because Everton and Fulham have Europa league commitments
This does of course mean they will have to play catch-up at a later date, but really Wenger should be taking this up with the ridiculous Europa league - and every year we get six games in December, how long does it take a Frenchman to get used to this?
I would also like to point out that Hull played an extra game on the 25th November, as did Everton, Blackburn and Fulham - this was not Hull's fault, but Arsenal got a mid-week off (then lost at home to Chelsea, while Hull got a point at City...) - did I here anyone complaining (well yes, David Moyes, but that's a different story)
Of course, Arsenal do play in the Champions' League - but for the purposes of this argument Wenger is sticking to the concept of league fairness - presumably then Hull shouldn't be playing extra games in November to benefit Everton? I didn't hear Phil Brown whingeing about City getting a week to prepare while he had an extra game to deal with
But wait, there's more!
Wenger went on to criticise Mick McCarthy's decision to rest players against United
"We will have to compete with Manchester United over 37 games instead of 38," said Wenger.As I mentioned earlier - were Wolves expected to get anything at Old Trafford - did I miss that hot tip? If we are going to subjectively judge Wolves' team as worthless then there's no reason for me not to state categorically that United were always going to win that match, I guess it's ok to send out the reserves as long as you keep it to one competition eh, Arsene?
And let's be honest - you're competing with Chelsea, and you're really just narked that you lost two points at Burnley because your team doesn't have staying power
Truly, the Voyeur is worth every penny Arsenal pay him (especially when he's taking his team up north mid-week) - and I can't resist posting this:
