I thought Wenger didn't go far enough as well. My recollection of his comments were something along the lines of 'they did not approach the game with the right spirit'.

Whereas what he should have said was 'they couldn't play football with us so they kicked us off the park and Mike Riley let them do it. And if that wasn't enough he then ignored two blatant red cards and awarded them a penalty for a dive. His performance today was disgraceful and it brings shame upon the game of football that this was allowed to happen'.
