Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has delivered another blow to
under-fire Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez by admitting that playing
at Merseyside rivals Everton is now a more intimidating prospect
than running out at Anfield.
And Wenger also revealed he considered re-signing Nicolas Anelka,
the former Arsenal striker who moved from Bolton to Chelsea last
week in a £15million deal.
Both subjects were raised at the official launch of 'Arsenal TV,' a
new television channel which will show six hours of Arsenal-related
programmes every night of the week including all first-team
matches, and was kicked off by 'Arsenal Question Time' hosted by
Des Lynam.
Wenger was asked what ground he most likes or hates visiting for a
match and admitted that the atmosphere at Goodison Park is now more
intense than at Anfield.
He said: 'Liverpool is the same kind of support but Everton is a
bit more aggressive because Everton is up at the moment.
'Over the last one or two years, especially, it has been one of the
noisiest grounds and has a great atmosphere.
'Liverpool is the same but now a little bit more genteel.'
