Wenger: Told to stop whining...
Saturday, 10 January
2009
Wenger makes no secret of his dislike for Wanderers,
who have been one of the Gunners’ bogey teams over the
years.
Yet Trotters gaffer Megson reckons Arsenal have given
as good as they have got in the two games since he took
charge.
FLASHPOINT ... Diaby's foul
Arsenal were fuming at Kevin Davies’ tackle on Gael
Clichy in September but Megson insists Wenger’s men are no
saints.
He said: “We didn’t make anywhere near the fuss that
would have been made by others when Abou Diaby was sent off for the
tackle on Gretar Steinsson. It was shocking but we just accepted
it.”
Yet the Gunners called Davies’ tackle on Clichy
’disgraceful’.
Megson said: “There was a complete furore over it. Yes,
it was a firm challenge but he has momentum and has caught Clichy.
But he trained on the Tuesday!
“I can’t speak about before I was here but our last two
games with Arsenal have been really good.It’s not bad being viewed
as having problems when you are fifth top and in the Champions
League. I wish we had their problems!”
