Match Reaction v/s Hull

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

It comes with the territory in her line of work but she did say it’s the most ‘adversarial interview’ she’s done with Wenger and thought her questions were fair. IMO, Wenger reacted badly and it showed. That’s what the fuss is about. He’s usually cool in post-match interviews. Even after awful performances.

Hmmm to be honest it became more of an argument about sexism with some of the reactions I read.

I made the point that he was just as tetchy with sky sports, and I have frequently seen him get ratty with journalists in the last couple of years. The examples off the top of my head would be post Aston Villa away in 2012 and the pre match conference against Bayern Munich in 2013.
He isn't as happy as he was if you go back to his time at Highbury, and I felt for a long time he would let his contract run down in 2014 and leave. Partly I think in his head that he signed a contract extension because the board looked completely clueless about how to replace him.

When since did CDMs become magical, mythical creatures?

I recall a time when we had quality in that position. Round about the same time when Wenger was being hailed as bit of a genius and a top manager.

City have 2 of these hard to find creatures in Fernando & Fernandinho
Chelsea have Matic and sometimes Mikel. Not to mention that turd Ramires
Pool have 2 (names escape me at the moment, 1 Brazilian and 1 Englishman)
We....after searching amongst 7 Billion bipeds came up with Flamini and Arteta, both not up to much cop

Defenders.......Now they are really hard to find. Steve Bould might get a game tonight, I hear.

In their scarcity? Never.

In their mythical abilities to cure all problems from stupidly conceded goals to world hunger? Maybe a year.

Bit disingenuous that argument you posit. Haven't seen anyone saying getting in a proper cdm will be the panacea of ills.

It's a glaringly deficient area in our team for however long now. One that if properly addressed, could possibly see us faring better as a defensive unit.

FROM: Stopping stupidly conceded goals (which they ought to)
TO: Curing world hunger (which they probably wont)

And everything in between. Reading around in the Arseosphere, Arsenal fans have run the full gamut.

But no matter where they stood they all pretty much agreed. We need a DM, we need a DM. It becomes like a mantra. It's not a myth in the sense of a falsehood, it's a myth in the sense of a conceptual ideal.

Arsenal fans still pine for a reincarnated Vieira.
