In fact, to be perfectly honest, that's the thing I've never forgiven Wenger for, constantly turning any discussion about football to one about the crazy idea that we don't have enough of the stuff.
What He ought to be banging on about, of course, is heartfelt tributes to our supporters who provide Him with more funds than any Arsenal manager in history and gate monies more than any other club in Europe every match. Who does He think pays His salary and bonuses!
Yet all we hear about is how He could've joined every other club in the world, as though He's working for us for free because He loves us. Frankly, if He needed to be at a club that is financially stronger than we are then there are several of these He should've joined rather than stay with us and grouse about it the whole time.
The whole thing is just so much ingratitude and ungrateful whining, to all our suppoerters who actually do pay an awful lot, not just in money, but also in time and trouble and actual emotional engagement with our football club. Shameful.
I do understand it though; I know Frenchman and that is just what they are actually like. He's not putting it on. Their perspective is always very much "Qu'ils mangent de la brioche."
Merde.
