April 1997: wenger hits out at fergusons's complaints over fixture conjestion: it is impossible to change the rules so near to the end of the competition.
January 1998: On fergie's claims he had sent wenger a letter of apology after describing arsenal as a team which "likes a scrap": "If he's sent me a letter, it must be coming by horse as i havnt recieved it yet."
July 1999: moaning about united pulling out of the F.A cup: I think it's unfair and a bad decision. To go and play a tournament nobody knows about, a business tounament, is just unbelieveable. Basically, it's slowly killing the F.A cup. Why? for business and politics. It could also give united an advantage in the league.
April 2000: Moaning again about united pulling out of the cup: "Man utd are englsh football's equivalent of Mike tyson, so you dont handicap the other teams who are fighting against them. The league was organised for man utd this year."
Novemebr 2000: Wenger claimed other teams give united too much respect and dont really have a go at them. "at the moment, they have more problems in europe than in england. I just think this way of thinking shows united have gained so much respect that it's easier for them to win."
July 2001: On united's big spending this summer: "at the moment united are in a position where if they do not win the league it's a disaster. If they do not get to the europen cup final it will be a disaster again."
Well there you have it. On a peronal note i think the most childish comment from MR. Wenger was from April 2000 when he said "the league was organised for Man united this year." The man just cant take it that he got beat.
Wenger has claimed that Patrick Vieira has told him he did not say the things that were reported in the press. Surely it would be best if PV spoke to the press and confirmed this - thus ending all the speculation. By remaining silent it would appear that he is indeed unhappy and want's out of the club.
Meanwhile Wenger has been happily spending millions of pounds in the transfer market but has not yet signed his new contract - which has been on the table for the past YEAR. Wenger has had to be very careful what he has said about Vieira purely because he himself has yet to show Arsenal the loyalty they are asking from Vieira.
Wenger has come out with all sorts of reasons for not signing a new deal. Six months ago he said he was waiting for the outcome of the changes to the transfer system. That issue seems to be clear now. Then Wenger said he wanted to see evidence that Arsenal are prepared to spend big to compete with Manutd and Europes best. Arsenal have responded by being very active in the transfer market - spending over £25m. What reason can Wenger give now for not signing a new contract ?.
> you should be prepared for the worst
I always am!
If you go through life being a pessimist, you are sometimes pleasantly surprised.
If you go through life being an optimist, you are frequently disappointed.
I admit something is not right, but personally, I don't believe anything the papers say - I'll just wait until something actually happens.

He has never been able to face the fact that Man United are better than Arsenal.
