Wenger - Old Trafford win flattered Liverpool

By Richard Clarke

Arsène Wenger feels Liverpool’s win at Manchester United flattered the Anfield side.

The Frenchman believes the 4-1 victory on Saturday has opened up the title race to an extent but Sir Alex Ferguson’s side are still likely to lift the Premier League trophy in May. He attributed the result to Manchester United’s hefty workload since the turn of the year.

“There are two things I would like to say about that game,” he said.

“Firstly, congratulations to Liverpool for winning with an emphatic score, but I think overall it is a very flattering result.

"For big spells in the game Manchester United dominated but they made mistakes on the day that usually they don’t make. Some players looked a bit mentally tired.

“It opens up the race for the title but I still believe that Manchester United are in a strong position with that game in hand. However they have played many matches since Christmas and it looked to have caught up with them on Saturday.”

Wenger is so green with envy. He has to always suck up to Fergie to take a jab at Liverpool FC. He is like an Alex Ferguson sidekick. He lacks self respect.

He's had to bow down to Liverpool FC in the Champions League and he is still bitter.

He is struggling to stay in a Champions League spot and 9 points behind Liverpool FC

I understand that he is bittee. Moron

As long as he beats United in the league I will be happy, I dont care whatever he says, just beat United thats all we ask.

Its just jealousy, this season Wenger hasn't had a clue whats going on.

And i reckon hes still bitter about the champions league

arsenal just aint the side they were 4 or 5 seasons ago, and if im honest i cant see them challenging for trophys for the next couple of seasons at the moment they are just not good enough.

What a French cnut.

Really who cares what this senile old twit says, he often puts his mouth in gear before his brain, I really dont pay much attention to him at all his team are not in the title race, but I think he feels his side will have a say in who wins it. If I were him I would stfu and concentrate on improving your own side before you critisise others tha mans a foo and needs a snicker thrown at his head.. tis facts

First tell all Arsenal fans why you have sucked so much this season.

that guy is always on hand to have a pop at liverpool. i remember his comments after our european cup win..unflattering as usual. we'll let our football do the talking and let that frog stew in his own juice...(pr**k that he is)

His comments about manUre making uncharacteristic mistakes and looking mentally tired are statements of fact what Wenger neglects to point out is the reason for this,they were outplayed(fact),lost discipline(fact)and the tactics employed by Rafa and the team in general were impeccable and that is also a statement of fact all borne out by the crushing scoreline.
                 For Wenger to make the assertions he has is unprofessional and lacking in character,it is akin to rudolfs' claims that Rafa was having a rant and losing it,and we all know who got his arse bitten with that one. 

Pathetic, he's been a great manager in the past, but in recent seasons he's taken the sell-out option of sucking up to Ferguson in an attempt to cover up his own shortcomings.

He was the one manager beside our own of course,that was worth listening to and he used to make some very incisive comments but as you say over the last 2 or 3 seasons the pressure is showing.

Wenger what's wrong mate. So the scoreline flatters us and we were never worth a 4-1 win, I disagree with you a lot, the last goal flattered us but surly you have to be their to score, the scoreline was right as we scored four. That says it all.

You then say we were dominated by MU for large parts of the game, your having a laugh surly, after they got and scored from a lucky pen I thought the rest of the first half belonged to us and all they did that half was moan and groan.

The second half you have a point and we were pushed back (they were the home team) only to KO them on the counter attack, twice, a thing your team do well if I'm not mistaken. Pepe Riena, he had one or two scares, but saves, he never had one to make and that says it all.

What you say next is unbelievable, some of their players were mentally tired, yet you never refer to ours being the same and we have a smaller squad than them, and yet you go on and say they have played many matches since Christmas and it looks to be catching up to them. Absolute rubbish.

Wenger look at the facts, Ferguson and most others Rubbish Rafa for 'Rotating' the team and the sh*te he has had to take from a lot of football people is unbelievable, considering they all do it themselves (bloody hypocrites).

So if Ferguson don't know how to rotate his team properly that's his misfortune, all I do know is Rafa always has his whole squad fit at this time of the season and Wenger, that's not down to luck but good management............

Shut it voyeur you jealous pr**k.

Please, concentrate on 4th spot.

ouch.......painfully true

Flattered my A**E,he knows it was a great Liverpool performance and when we play like that we are to be feared and it wasn't just that game! and it won't be the last.Very much wrong Mr Wenger or should I say WINGE'R.

Wait till we hammer ye 7-0 and see if that will proof enough for you.  Rafa coming to get ya.

Yesterdays man trying to keep in the lime light. I suppose Fulham were Lucky Scholes didnt hand ball and Rooney let the ball slip out of his hand. Mark Swarzwer mention something intereting. He said he saw something different in the eyes of Utd players from the previous 2 games in the League and the cup. That is fear of failure as far as I am concerned. They know they have been lucky to get the results they have had and now its caught them out. Wenger must be Fergies bi*ch or something.

Yeah, Reina was really busy, wasn't he, Arsene?

You know, he is probally right. The score did flatter us, and the scum did have more position.

BUT, why say this 10 days after the event, and if my memory serves me correct, when we played A.C.Milan on the 25th May 2005, again the score probally flattered us, and again we were out played for most of that game too, and like the game at "The Theatre of Dreams" (how crass) we won, we do not care how we won, and we will continue to enjoy the fact that we won.

So Mr. Wenger, please take note, Mind your own business and keep your big nose out of our affairs. Concentrate on your own problems, and not on our triumphs.

I wouldn't say it flattered us, or we were outplayed.

No win flatters anyone - a goal is a goal, and how it was scored does not matter, but more the fact that it was scored.

Goals win games.

Wait till we hammer ye 7-0 and see if that will proof enough for you.  Rafa coming to get ya.

  By then he will have his head stuck up fergies  arse hole .

So if Arsenal go to Old Trafford and are out played but still win 4-1 do you think he'll admit they were flattered by the result.

Dont think so.......... He's just trying to get his rubbish talk to annoy us because he's bored now that they are not a top 3 side anymore.

Bitter pr**k

What a load of me arse.

I reckon we should re-name this thread, titled:

'Wenger Squeaks: Old Trafford Farted. Liverpool FC won!'

Wenger speaks.

Nobody gives a toss.

I think that Wenger is not a world class manager and the list that Fergy drew up when he was pissed, even amongst them three managers, he comes third (last).

The thing is with Wenger he was doing extremely well in Premiership when the league was considered a good league as soon as all the world class players and massive money contracts started coming along with world class coaches, his class was evident.  His team couldn’t compete.  I know many will excuse him because of his lack of finances.  But that doesn’t go for me, finances is a crucial part of success in the game.  But he refuses to use his available financial resources. 

Apparently, Arsenal’s net spending over the last 5 years in the transfer market is convincingly under 5m, which for a top 4 team is absolutely peanuts.  I question the reason for that as it doesn’t make sense.  Transfers are not the biggest financial cost as a whole, wages are and they’re still up there and probably sit comfortably in the top 4, the last time I checked.

People thinks it’s because of their stadium that they don’t have the finances and that he is amazingly good job that’s all excuses.  Arsenal are a massive club and they wouldn’t take such a big step in building that stadium without accounting a competitive transfer kitty a £1m a year is something that is found in the championship.  There are no certainties in football they couldn’t build a stadium thinking that Wenger was going to be there throughout.  As things change fast in football like we all know.  The truth is he is wonderful with developing and bringing in the kids, but when it comes to purchasing experienced players he is poor and knows it.  That’s the reason that he doesn’t spend much money he wants to show the world that he is restricted.   As a manager you have to use your resources to the full especially at the highest level.  It’s a like saying if Patrick Berger used his left foot he would have been the best left winger in the world, but he didn’t and wasn’t.  Or a boxer using only his right hand with aggressive hook, but can not make it because he doesn’t use his left hand.  Well if you want to be considered as one of the best you have to use all your available resources.  Wenger doesn’t and is weak in the transfer market and only has one style of football, which is very good on the eye, but against world class teams they can always adjust which is the reason of his poor Champions League C.V.

So, I think Mr Wenger is a crap manager, and is out of depth to even try to belittle Rafa’s work.  Rafa has walked in this league and has been making progress consistenly as for Wenger, he’s got weaker and weaker as the league has gotten stronger.   

Think Mr Wenger should stop arsene about and get his own side in order !! bloody cheek !!..or better still attend all liverpool games and take some notes on how to challenge for a title , i'm sure Rafa would give him some pointers ....LIKE THERE'S A DOOR USE  IT !

Arsene is a diluted mad scientist who's experiment has gone by the wayside.   He is such an idiot.

annoying manager. lets hope villa start to win games and put him under pressure for the 4th spot so by the time united play his side.he doesnt just hand it over to united. u never knw with this c**t

Well Mr Wenger I hope your team does some flattering when Arsenal play Manure on the 16th of May.We outplayed Manure and fully deserved 3 points.

He's gained his 'talks bullshit' tag for a reason. Concentrate on scoring a goal let alone a title race Voyeur, you have truly imploded.

Bollocks. What he has spoken to jump to the defence of Fergie is just mindblowing. He sides Fergie doesn't he. It definitely wasn't flattered because since when have you seen OT 's goal getting ripped apart four times? Wenger has no chance to do that and he knows it. We had them at OT that day, we controlled and Wenger is being sore because Rafa masterminded it.
