IS ARSENE WENGER LOONY?


Can some one with some sense please explain to Arsene Wenger, the embattled manager of Arsenal football club that the aim of a football game is to score more goals than your opponent and earn a victory or a win?

The half blind manager just said somewhere that his Arsenal team dominates opposing teams more than Manchester United. I wish to believe that this statement was taken out of context and somewhere in that interview he made a point to say that Man Utd however, has learnt how to win games more than Arsenal; and his own team needs to learn how to do the same like they did back in the day.

Actually, I am not even sure that Arsenal dominates more games than the mancunians because the league position of both teams cannot bear that assertion out. Arsenal is 16 points behind Man Utd and the gap isn’t closing any time soon. Man Utd have scored more goals and conceded less, so from which orifice did Wenger pull this one from.

And more importantly, when exactly did domination become a point of reward in a game like goals or victory. Arsene, the best you could do this season is finish fifth and see if you can win an European (UEFA) cup next year. Everton is waiting to pounce on your present position so be careful.
