He has a point. Ex-players that become pundits/jounalists do tend to be overly harsh on their former club, I suppose it's because they want to be taken seriously and not appear completely blind to their former clubs deficiencies (apart from Phil Thompson)Originally Posted by redgunamo
I don't know, you have a little tipple and the whole world turns upside down
Also, it's the club they tend to know best so if anything is going wrong, they'll know all the ins and outs.
"Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.
"But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."
Also, when Pat Rice retired, Wenger made a pointed reference to the fact that one of the things He most loved and admired about him was his discretion, I think, as a veiled warning to Steve Bould not to go blabbing to his former team-mates, especially the ones still trying to make names for themselves in the media, about private club matters and training ground issues. Perhaps it's this guardedness from within the club that's led to the short fuse of a few of our former players?

I see Wenger was quoted on his contract talks as well.
"Scoring a goal is better than sex" - Whoever said that was sticking it to the wrong woman
Maybe a director of football would've accomplished more than Wenger on his own this summer.
On another note...we didn't bring Henry crack to the club because he wanted to keep working with Sky....so how about Arsene ending feadline day early so he could cover the France game.
£8m a year to tell Monaco and Lamar - no hard feelings...I have a train to catch to Paris anyways

Now I know we probably have many other people dealing with these things but he doesn't really help himself at times. I suspect he does it to deliberately wind up some people.
To be fair, that is also exactly where the guy we were trying to buy was as well.I did see that he was working in Paris at the French match.
