They have that bro-love thing going on

Wenger acted like Mourinho yesterday - Page 5 Ars-ne-Wenger-facing-of-A-007

so the absence of a post match handshake probably doesn't mean too much

by RealGunner Thu Feb 20, 2014 10:39 pm

I am surprised since they are really good friends.

Highly doubt there was any feeling of ill between Pep and Wenger as given Wenger's frustration and the heavy traffic of staff between them, a post-match handshake does not take away from the immense respect they have along with a known friendship.

Like Benitez-Wenger, there is no animosity between them.

@Bayern fans: see now that you are successful and the favorites to win the CL again, you will get scrutinized for the most idiotic of things and only favors on your account will matter and get blown out of proportions. This trend will steadily increase the longer you keep your form/success. Good luck trying to argue with envious\loosing fans.

Wenger wrote:"What made the difference was the decision to send our goalkeeper off in the first game," "That decision had a huge impact. It was on the same player who got the penalty again tonight and that's a regret. Robben is very good at getting the maximum of nothing. He's a great player as well a very good diver but it's part of him."

Wenger's at it again. He's really not as classy as legend has it.

No he's not. He wins people over by playing "beautiful" football, that's why people don't negatively associate his words with things like mind games.

by Hapless_Hans Wed Mar 12, 2014 6:36 pm

I don't think it's mind games, I think it's lack of self-reflexiveness, which in the end amounts to a lack of class.
Also, beautiful football my arse, they're not playing that well or handsomely if we're honest.

by McAgger Wed Mar 12, 2014 7:34 pm

To be fair to Venga, Robben did dive like an olympic champion. He's stating a facht.

by Hapless_Hans Wed Mar 12, 2014 8:42 pm

he didn't dive once. He playacted like a golden raspberry aspirant though.

by Lex Wed Mar 12, 2014 8:46 pm

Nah, he dove. Didn't pretend he got his leg caught in a bear trap, though, like he usually does, so kudos to him.

by The_Badger Wed Mar 12, 2014 8:56 pm

Robben has always been a diver. Wenger can moan and blame others for Arsenal's exit, but only he is to blame for that.

by Kwanga Wed Mar 12, 2014 9:54 pm

Wenger needs to stop being a sore loser! :facepalm:

by Hapless_Hans Thu Mar 13, 2014 12:20 pm

Wenger in the press conference after the SECOND game going on about the Szescny pen in the first game.
Now according to him it was not only not a goal-scoring opportunity for Robben, but should've been called a foul BY Robben, too!!

by rwo power Thu Mar 13, 2014 12:23 pm

Maybe he considered it a foul by Robben that Robben retaliated in an interview recently ^^

by Hapless_Hans Thu Mar 13, 2014 1:02 pm

Wenger acted like Mourinho yesterday - Page 5 393e9d1f112bbb229df797d03cf68584

he also claims that after Robben's touch the ball was 'at Sagna's feet' - Sagna's nowhere near Shocked

Seriously what's up with the guy, how long has this been going on?!

If his perception and judgement are that removed from reality, what does that say about more important instances where his judgement is needed?
Maybe he really thought Kim Kalldashian was actually a top young midfielder brimming with fitness instead of some 30+ Swede with a back injury?! hmm

by Lex Thu Mar 13, 2014 1:26 pm

Looking at the GIF, I'd go so far as to say Robben lost control of the ball after the first touch and Sagna was steaming back to collect the ball, but referees nowadays are so shit and obtuse, they don't take these variables into account anymore, Contact in the box = penalty, regardless of surrounding elements

That's what I mean, collective delusion, and no wonder why you're always the better team in your mind yet for some reason still never win anything cheers

by Lex Thu Mar 13, 2014 1:47 pm

Well, we'll never know because Robben dove like a diva!! Mad

by Hapless_Hans Thu Mar 13, 2014 1:50 pm

ok, I'll stop now, good game, Lex, see you next year.

by Mr Nick09 Thu Mar 13, 2014 2:03 pm

lex u sound like a madrid fan circa 2011 complaining against barca. it's aight mate, u will get used to it

by Doc Thu Mar 13, 2014 2:19 pm

Robben may or may not have dived but what is not a mystery is the entire Arsenal backline was caught ball watching. Robben literally ran in front of them and no one saw him.

by Raptorgunner Thu Mar 13, 2014 2:21 pm

An arsenal fan went into a Bayern Munich football shop and asked if they had any Arjen Robben diving gear. rofl

by rwo power Thu Mar 13, 2014 2:29 pm

You know that "Robben" in German is the plural of Robbe, which is the word for "seal" (the animal). What to you expect of a seal but to dive? Razz

by Hapless_Hans Thu Mar 13, 2014 3:09 pm

this thread is going completely in the wong direction. You're supposed to talk bad about Wenger, not Robben Sad

by rwo power Thu Mar 13, 2014 3:11 pm

Hey, I'm totally impartial there. I also talked bad about Wenger somewhere above. Razz
