    Arsene's views on doping

    Why do you think that Wenger is making such a big song and dance about doping in Football? http://realsport101.com/arsene-wenge...esting-needed/

    I do agree its bad, but he seems to be on some personal crusade?!

    One of the Zagreb players has been banned for four years after it was revealed he was packing in the game where they beat us. So its pretty self-explanatory IMO.

    I imagine he was asked and he said what he thought. He was probably asked because of that previous result.

    It's just a convenient excuse for Wenger to hide behind, the rules are the rules, 2 players and a team is disqualified from CL.

    What is a shame is that Wenger went into that first few games with our reserve goalie and a bunch of backups!

    Excuse or not, it doesn't mean he's wrong. Why do some people always look for ANY angle to attack Wenger? Regardless of whether they actually agree with him or not.

    It's his opinion and it differs from the current rules set out by UEFA. Also...he wouldn't be saying any of this if he would have prepared the team properly by at least selecting his best players which would have given us a better chance of winning.

    Do you honestly think he'd be bringing this up if we won that game?

    I'm not looking at angles to attack Wenger, far from it, I'll call out stuff like this though because whilst Wenger is entitled to his opinion on this subject, the real problem was him throwing away the first few games by unneccessarily messing with the team!

    Because its difficult to sympathise with a manager pontificating on issues that he is indirectly saying put his team at a disadvantage, when at the same time he ignores some of the obvious issues within his own control that hamper us even more. I would far prefer he concentrated on addressing our lamentable and debilitating injury situation than getting side tracked on a doping debate that he cannot do anything about - which by the way Wenger himself chose to introduce in the first place.

    Those two things are completely unrelated.
    He was asked for an opinion, he gave it. It's a perfectly reasonable opinion whether it affected our results or not.

    I don't know who brought it up, I'm thinking more likely the press.
    But that doesn't mean that's WHY he has that opinion or that he's wrong.
