View Full Version : Arsene Wenger's "frosty" press conference

Ahead of tomorrow's game against Bolton, AW's press conference (which is always given such a high billing by SSN in spite of just how indifferently we're doing on the pitch) was incredible, perhaps for all the wrong reasons. It was like watching an embarrassing Uncle make a drunken fool of himself at a family wedding. A sharp intake of breath and a wince at the cringeworthy character.

So, I caught this press conference just at the point where Wenger was discussing/praising "......the spirit of the team" :doh: (This could have been preceded by the words "I question..." but the likelihood of that is slim to none.) The interviewer went on to ask if Wenger is feeling the pressure (only the pre-match jitters, Wenger replied, or words to that effect), whether he needs to supplement his coaching staff (no, was the frank answer from Le Prof) and whether or not Bergkamp is coming back to the club in a coching capacity (at this point AW got touchy- he said he had just answered that question)

Further on, the interviewer asked about Gary Cahill (would we bid for him again in Jan, as Owen Coyle seems to thinks so). Wenger questioned the question- why was the interviewer asking this in September, at the close of the transfer window? Ask again in December. The interviewer, not knowing the folly of his ways, then proceeded to ask if we were going to sign Joey Barton in the summer just gone. "No comment", Wenger replied.

Throughout, Arsene Wenger was noticably agitated, and there were even signs of an anxious twitch (not to Redknapp proportions, of course, but the gaffer could barely crack a smile)

I didn't know whether to be impressed or horrified by the end of it. Compelling viewing, for all of 5 minutes (if that), for all the wrong reasons.

when the whole british media have been bashing you all fucking summer it might be understandable why he is annoyed at them, its a new sport for them, lets get wenger even more pissed off. not to say he hasnt made mistakes but the way they are going on at him is disgusting

:lol: Damn right, he's an embarrassment, he's chosen now to shut the f*ck up when we're going through our worst period and he has a lot to answer for (and he has to answer the most difficult questions) rather than several years ago.

Bout time people asked him some probing questions though, he's been getting lame questions for years.

Wenger is rightly being questioned for the mistakes he has made in terms of tactics, transfer dealings etc not just last season, but over the last 5 seasons. With any other manager, his very position at the club would have been questioned, so the fact that Wenger is under the spotlight in a negative way is all his own doing and I don't feel sorry for him. He's messed up and he's paying the consequences at least in the media.

Don't watch him, he's said everything before a thousand times.

Ernesto
23-09-2011, 02:25 PM
Reading the replies on this thread, I kinda agree with Ollie and Grebbo.

1) We should not be willing the team to lose, in any way, shape or form. Defeat tomorrow will not spell the end for Wenger, anyway, so people wishing for this "worst case scenario"- I'm sorry to piss on your parade, but it's a long way off.

2) I gave up listening to Wenger a long time ago, too. Especially post-match in the wake of defeat. The same old sanctimonious bullsh!t. I just so happened to be at home today (a "no-work" day!) so I stumbled upon Wenger's pre-match conference :)

I don't mind wenger getting a hard time from the press because it goes some way to balancing the lack of pressure that is out on him by his employers. Even if it is the scummy media, I feel someone who is as bad at his job as wenger is at the moment shouldn't be taking home £5m a year without being bullied a bit.

And quite right by Arsene Wenger. Outside the transfer window, it is wrong to discuss players from other clubs as it is destabilising. Only cunts from Barca cunt clubs would do that.

I want even more pressure on this man. Just like the 8-2 defeat was necessary for major changes, I feel this pressure on AW is needed coz the board is doing jack shit. Inshahallah, this pressure will get him to quit or change his ways! :pray:

Because his employer publicly said the other day that wenger will not be sacked. Is he under pressure from the fans? The fans might want him out but they have little say in the matter. I've got to be honest, if my employer told me I will not get sacked, My natural reaction wouldn't be to feel like I'm struggling to keep my job...maybe that's just me and my crazy logic.

He's just someone who makes some money from being an Arsenal pundit.

Maybe he has links into the club, but those links (you would think) would be plugged up by the club if they didn't want private info getting out. But then, you would have though someone with as close links to the club, like Wrighty, Smudger, Dixon, Keown etc etc would know more....and their guess is as good as anyones...

All I know is that he's talked absolute rubbish whenever I've listened to him.

He actually struck me as one of those guys who get's a kick out divulging supposed inside knowledge.
He wasn't shy about talking about how he was a neighbour of Wenger and personal aquaintance.

I think he's a freelance something or other so Arsenal can't really shut him up without NDAs.

No, but obviously there's some middle ground here. I wouldn't expect my manager to be saying "I will not consider sacking him" if he is.

Lets be clear about what Ivan said.

"Arsene Wenger is not broken. To see him portrayed as an idiot is damaging - not to him or the club but to the game.
"[Sacking him] is a route we are not going to go down."

...This is different from just presenting a unified front with something like "We are behind Arsene and believe he will turn things around" or "Wenger is a good manager and we are fully behind him". He explicitly says he will not consider sacking him. I don't understand the ambiguity here.

Wenger won't get sacked, we're stuck with him for another 14 years or however long the f*cker wants to stay put.

You may not want him to be Manager anymore, I know I don't. But why be so disrespectful?

Also, the achievements of Wenger are not comparable with the Inter manager, so you are lacking consideration of context in your post.

I know people want a change, but is it really clever to call him names? Were you calling him Pepe le Pew in 2004?

Here we lionize Wenger for stuff he did 6 years ago like he was some divine entity that has blessed us with his beatific presence. If a man is so deluded as not to know when he is doing a lousy job and the powers that be will not see the way clear to winning because it is littered with Euros,$,.....Then we the fans must not quietly hope that change will come on its own. The man has butchered whatever legacy he has with his own myopism. Now even the players are qusetioning his tactics yet HE still thinks he is doing the right thing and now its the players that are not faithfully carrying out his instructions.......Quote: "I have been coaching now for 32 years so i dont need any help"...32 years soon to be 46. The man will never leave Arsenal willingly because it is such a pressure fee job. Earning the same wage as serial winners while being a habitual loser.

Arsenal still in title race - Arsene Wenger

Arsene Wenger has insisted the race for the Premier League title is far from over, despite Arsenal already trailing Manchester United by 11 points.

The Gunners have endured their worst start to a campaign under the Frenchman, having lost three of their five league games, including an 8-2 mauling by United at Old Trafford.

In contrast, the defending champions have chalked up maximum points.

"If the team gets momentum, we can be very strong," said Wenger.

"Of course I am worried. It is absolutely not realistic not to be worried when you have a team like Manchester United in front of you."

Wenger, though, maintains it is far too early to be writing anyone off.

"The only thing we can do is focus on our performances, win our games and hope they will drop some points at some stage," the Frenchman added.

"However, at the moment I am more concerned by us than them. If they do a perfect season, they do a perfect season. Until now, only one team did that - Arsenal."

Wenger was referring to Arsenal's unbeaten 2003-04 league campaign, and accepts at the moment that just rediscovering the winning feeling is the priority for his side.

"What is important for us is to give absolutely everything to do it [win the title], but at the moment it is too early to speak about that," he said.

"Let's come back to a better distance with the top teams before we speak about that.

"Our start of the season was disturbed by the transfers [of Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri] and by the fact that we had to qualify for the Champions League. We lost a lot of energy in these games."

Wenger lambasted his squad for the way they self-destructed in their 4-3 defeat at Blackburn last weekend, scoring two own goals in the second half after they had led 2-1.

The Frenchman will expect a response from the rest of the squad on Saturday against a Bolton side who have lost four league games on the spin.

i swear some people are enjoying this bad press about us and almost want us to lose so it can continue so they get their way rather then wanting the team to turn it round

I'm with Ollie on this. . . .there is a certain group around here that seem to be willing us to lose and go looking for any excuse to bash the club, whether it be the board to the way Wenger sits on his chair during a press conference.

We do have problems that is obvious, and I do believe that Wenger needs to work more on fixing those problems, maybe in January so for me and I see a few others the only thing we csn do is get behind the team.Sure have a rant but wish nothing bad on the team. Every game I hope we win, if that win means a longer Wenger reign then so be it.

Wenger makes some shocking decisions at times and the summer was nit his best moment, he promised much but delivered little but it doesnt nean the likes of Areta cannot work we may have to give it a little longer but there are those that obviously want Wenger out and any angle will be used to hit him and the club,was reading about how crap yhe medical tem are, I am sure they were not employed because they are bad at their job.
Would like to add that Wenger mentioned being surprised at Utds start. . . .
Dont be! they played a whole pre-season together, including their new quality players. . .could have something to do with it. . .food for thought boss

Zimm - where in that article does he say we are in the race?
This bit kinda does:


What is important for us is to give absolutely everything to do it [win the title], but at the moment it is too early to speak about that,

and maybe this bit:


"If the team gets momentum, we can be very strong," said Wenger.

"Of course I am worried. It is absolutely not realistic not to be worried when you have a team like Manchester United in front of you."

The latter certainly suggests that he thinks we have a chance otherwise why would Man U being in front of us matter.

Anyway it's not just that, it's the rest as well, the bit about Cesc and Nasri and the CL disturbing our season, that's solely down to his incompetence so not sure how he can use that as an excuse.

He doesn't have to, he's a deluded muppet, we know how he thinks...after all we've been through this over and over and over and over........

His delusional ideas are why the team is in the state it is today.

Wonder what he'll whine about if we drop points today to Bolton. The length of the grass? The weather? The fact that Bolton had the temerity to actually have shots on goal?

no it doesnt, its important to give everything to win the title true but does that mean he says we are in the race? no and another fact that is true if we get momemtum and win a few games then we can be strong. he doesnt say anywhere that we are in the race

So explain this then


"Of course I am worried. It is absolutely not realistic not to be worried when you have a team like Manchester United in front of you."

Why would you be worried about Man U being in front of you if you didn't think you could win the title exactly, please tell me I'd like to know?

If he didn't think we had a chance, he wouldn't even care!

I'm not outraged believe me, but the guy is the reason I'm losing interest in football. I have no time for him and his "weird delusional" ways anymore.
