Arsene Wenger has been told by Blackburn's David Dunn to stop his
moaning and whingeing.
Wenger enraged Rovers when he accused them of being violent during
their ill-tempered clash at Ewood Park which saw eight bookings and
one red card.
The Arsenal boss has had it in for Blackburn since the 2005 FA Cup
semi-final meeting and Dunn says Rovers have had enough of his
constant carping.
The midfielder claims Wenger is the one with the problem because no
other manager complains about their style.
"I disagree totally with what he said," said the Rovers
midfielder.
"Committed, yes, aggressive, yes, but they have better players than
us with more ability going through the team so we have to close
that gap and make it into a little bit of a battle.
"It's getting a little bit funny because every time we play
Arsenal, they're the ones who say we're violent. But we're not,
we're committed and that's what you would expect from any
team.
"It always seems to be the Arsenal camp who come out with that kind
of comment. I wouldn't be so sure Alex Ferguson would say that and
he would expect that from his team as well."
Rovers feel Arsenal gave as good as they got and boss Mark Hughes
claimed Robin van Persie's lunge at Ryan Nelsen was the worst
challenge of the game.
Dunn couldn't understand Wenger's moaning and said: "I don't think
there were any bad challenges in the game.
"There was a lot at stake and a lot of professional people out
there wanting to do well, so of course there will be a few tackles
going in."
Jens Lehmann's blunder gifted Dunn his first Blackburn goal since
April 2003 and he said: "I know people say Lehmann made the
mistake, but I'll take it.
"I'm reasonably happy with my form, and I feel there's more to
come. I've got the shirt and it's up to me to keep it."
