Respectfully disagree. Th media has adopted a massive double standard when it comes to Arsenal.
1. Wenger was always treated with suspicion on account of being Johnny Foreigner. Now they swoon at Guardiola, Mourinho and the like. When he put out teams without English players he was pillared by the media who now say nothing about other managers doing the same.
2. Wenger was criticized for his open brand of football with limited defense. Yet now that Klopp does it its exhilarating.
3. Wenger was slaughtered for not winning anything for years, yet I see no such criticism of Pochetino.
Wenger has been way ahead of his time. And while his powers have declined, he is a genius compared to other English managers and the garbage news media.
Utter garbage ....
1. For many years even during the early days before the never ending decline ... Wonger was the media darling, the debonair foreigner who
'revolutionized the English game' even as a fan it was bloody cringe-worthy ....
2. Wonger built his reputation on great defense, albeit one that fell in his lap, it's only since 2010 that we've regularly shipped 40 plus goals ...
3. Just about the only criticism of Poch is his lack of trophies, and remember he spends 121m on wages, whereas Wonger spends 220m ....
Wonger has won 3 English titles, the only manager with a similar number of years at a top club won 13 English titles, that's some feckin genius ...... even that **** Mourinho has 3 English titles (
not forgetting his 5 foreign ones)
Wonger had a few years at the very top ... but to call him feckin' genius for a few good seasons, is like calling Bendtner world class just because he scored over ten goals twice .... it's just delusional .....
Luckily for us the media have Klopp, Poch, Pep, Conte and Mourinho and we tend to be ignored ... otherwise we'd be getting ripped a new one most weeks .... mid-table mediocrity not worthy of a mention when we win, millionaire failures when we lose ... sounds about right
