Is Ferguson better tactically than Wenger? I sincerely hope not

Wenger is as stubborn as an ox in expecting other teams to sit back and watch you pass it in pretty circles and tap it in at the other end. and he'll whine about teams getting in ur face - and defending - and not giving you space - and playing like men! - and cramping ur style - and playing negatively.....
but if in his many years of premiership management he has not yet realised that teams are still going to be so outrageous as to not listen to him - then he has to work out how to overcome it.
from where i sit - his approach seems to be one of...
1. over 90mins we have enough quality players to make something out of nothing - even against a really dogged team
2. teams cannot keep up that kind of dogged defense for a whole 94mins and they are bound to crack
most of the time he is right - and the number of goals arsenal score in the last 5mins is testament to that... BUT... teams are much fitter nowadays - and sometimes you're gonna have to do summat else other than simply hope that superior quality will make the breakthrough....

Our performance on Saturday was not good but it was the kind of game where you can win 1-0. Could we have lost the game in the first half? Yes. But instead we lost it when we looked stronger in the second half. It was the kind of game where you cannot afford a mistake at the back and I believe we were punished because of that.
I feel we were a bit unlucky as well on the first goal because we had Bacary Sagna down after getting injured. For the second goal there was a blatant foul on Carlos Vela on the edge of their box. Instead of having a chance to equalise from a free-kick we are then 2-0 down. Sagna's injury is quite serious by the way and I expect him to be out for a few weeks. He has hurt his ankle.
We beat Manchester United last week and then lost this week, while Villa beat us after losing against Middlesbrough and Newcastle. Top-level performance is about consistency and at the moment we are not consistent enough to produce that kind of performance week-in week-out.
You have to accept that the game is played by human beings and sometimes physically they have a drop. It is very difficult for us to have a rational explanation about what happened against Villa. I believe that the team have the desire but like a few other times this year it is unexplainable why we don't really play at our 100 per cent potential.
I have to say Villa played well and they deserved to win but I don't want to talk about them too much because I don't know them very well. On Saturday they played well but I saw their game against Middlesbrough on tape and they could have lost by six or seven so it is very difficult for me to assess them. They have a big potential if you look at the performance against us.
Finally, I have been asked a lot about possible transfers in January but it is too early to answer that question. We are mid-November and we have to see where we are at the end of December. At the moment, speculating about transfers won't help us.
Thanks for your support.

Sorry?
You've played against them 2 times a season, every year you'd had at the club Wenger.
They're the team most people tipped at the start of the season to pip either us or Liverpool into 4th.
f***ing learn about it.
