BIG SQUAD MY ARSE???

Arsene Wenger played a weakened team on Saturday against a resurgent Chelsea because his defence was hit by injuries and lost.

Alex Ferguson played a weakened team on Sunday against Everton because he could and still lost.

Wenger blames his defeat on the pitch and bad defending, fair enough.

Fergie blames his defeat on the pitch, then the referee, then the pitch again before settling of Rafa Benitez. Fergie left his big boys out of the game because he thought he could beat Everton with teenagers. This is the same Fergie who said Benitez humiliated Allardyce because he made a gesture in the game against Blackburn. What is more contemptuous: making a gesture or fielding a team of boys in a semi final against a premiership team?

Sam Allardyce was further humiliated by Stoke on Saturday but the man won’t complain because Sir Alex hasn’t targeted Tony Pulis yet so he will keep his trap shut about Pulis but Benitez is fair game. This is a pattern that Sam Allardyce follows; foreign managers are the scum so he can talk about them but never the English ones. Remember his incessant attacks on Wenger in the past.

Even the tool at Hull, Phil Brown who hasn’t managed a win in months and learnt all he doesn’t know about football from Allardyce is the same. Spit gate and no handshake gate were things he thought up to divert attention from his abject performance as a manager.
