Jose Mourinho's comments on Arsenal's favourable treatment by English football's fixture compilers receive a sharp response from Arsene Wenger. The Chelsea boss cited Arsenal's fixture list when responding to Wenger's views that the decision for The Blues to sell Juan Mata to Manchester United was unfair.
"It is simple - look at the fixtures and analyse it, I trust you will give an objective view," the Arsenal boss tells a news conference.
"You will see Arsenal are behind all the other teams. In the last five years all the objective studies that have been made show Arsenal had less rest than any other team in the top four.
"That is fact. It has nothing to do with my opinion."
When freaks like Peter Crouch are able to pull Abbey Clancy the world isn't fair.
Because it's that simplistic right?
That some teams don't have busier schedules with the FA Cup and CL?
And that the arrangement of fixture doesn't play a part in it?
Having a three days rest to face Crystal Palace at home after just facing Fulham at home is not equal to playing Liverpool and then Chelsea away in the space of three days.
It was completely disgraceful that we had to play City on Saturday morning after arriving back from Napoli on Thursday. You're dreaming if you think the likes of Mourinho or Ferguson wouldn't be moaning about that.
Lol when I read 'That is a fact' I read it in Rafa's voice.
Dear God no!
This is punishment for Kalou not being available any more. Or, fingers crossed, it is pure BS.Arsene Wenger is keen to tie up a deal for France attacking midfielder Yoann Gourcuff this week.
The Arsenal boss is a long term admirer of the 27-year-oldb star, who has scored three goals in 13 league appearances this season.
Gourcuff is an alternative to Schalke's German star Julian Draxler who would cost considerably more, and is still injured for the next few weeks.
Für eure Sicherheit
There is that yes, but I'd rather have him in than nothing at all as our squad will struggle badly as it stands, we got really tired in December and struggled and really looked unconvincing, come February/March that's only going to get worse.
We need 1 or 2 fresh faces to give us an edge and allow us to rotate a bit more.
'Nico Yennaris has joined Brentford for an undisclosed fee'
Goodluck to him.
