But the ref is fine when bad decisions go in HIS favour :rolleyes:

I caught a bit of Match of the Day and the pundits sided with the ref. How old is Arsene Wenger? A man in his 60s still blames others for his team's (and his own) shortcomings? :rolleyes: Not very mature or professional.

I see John Harston has just today asked Wenger to stop blaming referees when results don't go his way. Wenger doesn't even have the excuse that he's some young manager trying to build a career and is looking to deflect blame as he's nervous of the chairman's reaction to results.

Wenger is nearing retiral age and must be loaded, so why he feels the need to constantly slag off referees is a mystery, unless his ego is so fragile that he can't or won't accept his players just weren't good enough on the day.

Arsey and every other football club manager should ponder that those of us who work in the real world don't have the luxury of shunting the blame onto someone else when things don't turn out as planned.
