So he starts with "These days Sir Alex, these scores do happen, but they don't normally happen to Manchester United..." He then goes on to empathise with every element of the game and how unfortunate they were.

[7evens]

Some context needed perhaps ?

[Maravilloso Marvo]

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Losing to a 4th division side when playing a full strength team is relatively "humiliating" in as much as anything is in sport, which is a game after all.

Interviewer should have asked Wenger if he was goign to resign, that's what a lot of people would have wanted him to do.

If he squirms then f**k him.

I believe in the context of the Wenger interview the Sky one is the only example that could provide an emphatic answer

[Maravilloso Marvo]

As someone else says, he has demanded that respect by threat and banning journalists over the years.

[Maravilloso Marvo]

Awimb is all about comparing apples with pears.

[7evens]

also have a bearing.

[Peter]

25 reign at britain's biggest club, making himself the most successful manager in the history of english football.

A modicum of respect could, possibly, have been earned in the right way.

[Bergkamp's Brain]

putting referees under pressure, papers, TV etc. Fair play that he has managed to get away with it and used it to his advantage. The Santi dive at the weekend was nothing compared to Ashley Young's couple late last season.

He is still a first class c*nt though.

[Maravilloso Marvo]

[7evens]

[Maravilloso Marvo]

not the second most?

[Luis Anaconda]

not sure what your point is there

[Billy Goat Sverige]

[7evens]

and that your first string players gave 100% but couldn't break a 4th divison side down.

Waving the whiteflag isn't really what we want to see.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Especially that nasty interviewer from Sky who dared to use the word humiliated when Wenger sent out a first choice 11 which was subsequently beaten by a 4th division side.

[Bergkamp's Brain]

But then I have selective memory.

Although the idiot Man City fan may have saved Santi a much bigger b*llocking in the press.

[Luis Anaconda]

Imagine if someone unconnected to the two games said this about Santi http://www.awimb.com/images/smiley_icons/cry.gif

[Peter]

Hence it is a STUPID comparison in the first place.

Their achievements do not reotely match, hence neither does their stature.

[Steve-OH]

[Luis Anaconda]

about Young and would have been as it a) led to a sending off b) was at the tail-end of the season, Of course Ferguson took some of the sting out of it but criticising his player as well

[Peter]

[Peter]

Might have taken a bit of the heat off wenger http://www.awimb.com/images/smiley_icons/smile.gif

[Bergkamp's Brain]

When I heard that Rio had been hit and the way that game panned out, I started thinking that Santi should be thanking his lucky stars

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Kind of f**ks up the end of season annual excuse of beign unlucky mind you.

[Luis Anaconda]

[Peter]

It just isnt

[Luis Anaconda]

[Peter]

[Bergkamp's Brain]

All I'm saying is that Fergie will use every trick in the book to try get the advantage.
