Rio Ferdinand, unable to live up to Gareth Bale's pace found and excuse which we are yet to hear. It will however go like this. " I had him covered. I was about to get to him and that's the moment I saw him mumble some words. I am sure he called me #blackshit#. That's when I let him score"
Wenger said Olivier Giroud should have done better than find the side-netting with a late chance. "I felt so, yes," he said. "I think he was in a good position to score. Why did he not score? It's very difficult to identify." But i think, its how he has been trained, he thinks as long as the ball touches the net, its a goal. I will have to explain to him tomorrow after the match, in french that side netting doesn't qualify as a goal.
Stats don't lie. O goals in the premiership, 0 assists and 98 missed open chances. And this is the same player who said he snubbed Chelsea for Arsenal#SMH..
And what does Wenger think of the match? "Well, we deserved atleast a draw. Were it not for Gervinho's wastefulness we would have won it. And the sad thing is that this comes after I publicly said this is the best Arsenal squad I have assembled in over 10years! To lose to Chelsea like this is really painful. My answer, shut up old man, no one asked you to play Gervinho for 90minutes!!!
And why did Koscenly miss the Mata free kick, or did he touch it. Well, lets all blame Mikel for shouting " Drogba ndio huyo"!!.just after Mata had taken the free kick... Did u expect Koscenly to concentrate thereafter? No way. " I thought, that for the first time we were going to face Chelsea without Drogba. I was shocked to learn that he was still there. For Chelsea's second goal everyone thinks I was alone, he (Drogba) actually pushed me. I think it was a foul, the referee saw it but didnt see Drogba so no way he was going to award it! Koscienly told reporters after the match.
And what of AVB's team beating United? "This is the first step of my mission. I am going to ensure Tottenham never beats Chelsea or finishing on top of Chelsea like they did last season. That's why before we at Tottenham have been drawing most of our matches. Phase two of my work involves beating any team that poses a threat to Chelsea's premiership title ambitions. This began on Saturday and shall continue at Man City. Am glad we took the three points, but I am also happy that my real team, Chelsea is on top of the league table. Plus, Abrahamovic wil never fire me. I can tell you fellas, working undercover is the best thing for a young coach like me. Every manager wants that' Avb said
And finally, Nani's call for penalty verses Tottenham. This is what Ferguson had to say. " From where I was sitting i didnt see it. Rooney's ass was blocking my view. I havent seen the replay but I know it was a clear penalty!!!!The Tottenham player should have been sent off straight away, but no... we never get decisions here at Old Trafford. The referees must be conspiring against us."
