11.09 – According to Arsene Wenger, Leeds got off lightly yesterday. Two goals from a half-speed Henry could have been more if he’d been really trying, you know. “I think he played at a pace where he didn’t have to dig deep physically.”
The manager has also been talking about Europe and referees and Arsenal’s failure to do well in the Champions League. Some people have said Arsenal’s style of football is good enough for the Premiership, but clever teams in Europe have rumbled us. The Arsenal manager says “What is different? “You have the ball, you try to give a good ball; you don’t have the ball, you try to defend well. It’s good for discussion on television from people who have never been in the job – but it’s all rubbish.”
The FA have responded to Demento’s revelation that they cut a deal with Arsenal. Adrian Bevington, some kind of spokesman says “We refute any suggestion that any deals have been cut. We simply don’t cut deals.”
Not much else going on at the moment. So there.
