No - it is a matter of principle. You say effectively that people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. But as Terry(?) says if you take this line, then basically nobody could ever make a negative comment about anyone else. its a bit ridiculous.

Sure Citeh might be described as only the latest incarnation of a trend that's existed in football for a long time - but that doesn;t exonerate them. What people are objecting to is that Mansour and Co have now taken pure financial doping to an extreme level. One that is unprecedented in terms of the damage it wreaks elsewhere.

You want to defend that? Well you are entitled to do so, but I would suggest that you are no real lover of the game.
My arguement is that Wenger has all the right in the world to say whatever he wants, he is in a position where people are eager to hear his views, this extends to thoughts about a game just played, although there are times especially afyer a game just played

the way that I see it Citeh are taking things to a higher level and their financial clout is allowing them to do so, whether this is through legal or shady loopholes I dont know and TBH cant afford to give a fuck cos there aint jack shit I can do about it, so we are lefy with Wenger to say whats on most peoples minds, to do so at a press conference where he wad probably asked 1000 and 1 questions but only the juiciest answers were reported
those same answers piss of a few Mancs, bothered? couldnt care less!
more worried about what goes down on the pitch, which is where Wengers focus should always return to once he gets the bee out of his bonnet

but I have no belief in the piwers that be. . . which is why the odd AW/SAF rant sometimes feels like a shout for the masses
