Chelsea will be the beneficiaries of Wenger's self-deluding animosity towards United
Esteemed football writer Mick Dennis has slammed Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger for his recent comments regarding the tactics adopted by Manchester United, during their recent 2-1 defeat at Old Trafford. The Frenchman singled out United’s rough approach and in particular picked out Darren Fletcher.
Dennis believes Wenger has opened up a can of worms with Sir Alex Ferguson, reigniting a feud which had showed signs of diminishing, and suggesting a war of words between the pair would only benefit Chelsea and their title aspirations.
Dennis writes in the Express: “Wenger's portrayal of Manchester United as "anti-football" was plain bonkers.”
“It was the Frenchman at his worst; graceless in defeat, seeing conspiracies everywhere and railing like a madman at every perceived injustice. Arsene Whinger.”
He continued: “In life generally, but especially in football, all of us see events and people in binary terms; either good or bad.”
“Wenger is both guilty of this over-simplification and a victim of it.”
“Because he has an obsessive passion for his work at Arsenal, he cannot accept any critique, nor tolerate any frustration.”
“Then, because he rants in such a preposterously partisan way, letting unhappiness that Darren Fletcher was not booked fester into far too big an issue, Wenger makes us think he is just a sore loser.”
He added: “So we ignore all his protestations - even if, in his complaints about UEFA's pursuit of Eduardo, he is correct.”
“Wenger's wrong-headed reaction has reopened his Sir Alex Ferguson enmity.”
“Instead of these two grandees acknowledging each other's contribution with respect and admiration, an ancient feud is revived.”
“Now they risk repeating a mistake that cost them both dearly.”
“Five years ago next month, Arsenal's record-breaking unbeaten sequence ended in acrimony at Old Trafford and, as the insults and pizzas were thrown, both clubs failed to realise that the real enemy was someone else.”
“While they nursed grudges against each other, Jose Mourinho harvested enough points to give Chelsea the title.”
“This season there is a very real danger of Arsenal and United focusing their energies in the wrong direction again.”
“While they snipe at each other, a new arrival is organising another efficient team over at Stamford Bridge. Carlo Ancelotti and Chelsea will be the beneficiaries of Wenger's self-deluding animosity towards United.”
“The Arsenal manager should shut up and win his games.”
