Wenger: red card changed the game

Arsene Wenger admitted that Emmanuel Adebayor’s red card changed the game in Arsenal’s favour, but also paid tribute to his team’s ability to make the extra man count.

Sp*rs were 1-0 up and looking quite dangerous when the former Arsenal man got his deserved marching orders, and from then on Arsenal took control.

“It certainly changed the game because Adebayor had a good start, he was lively,” said Wenger.

“What I made of it was: it was not rose, it was not yellow, it was a red. I didn’t think at all when he was sent off that the game was won.

“We came back into the game and got what we wanted, which was to win the game. It is not always easy against 10 – we have won games with 10 men. I thought it could become even more difficult because they could have dropped back and waited for us, but we had the quality and movement to play through their lines and create chances.

“There were some outstanding individual offensive performances. In the second half you could see that the confidence was not completely still there, I hope that this result will help us.”

When asked if Adebahyor was a difficult player to manager, Wenger quipped, “You should ask Vila Boas.”

But then Vilas Boas believes Sp*rs controlled the game from the first minute to the last so it might be a struggle to get any kind of sense from him.

As the Arsenal manager said, “If our opponents are in control from the first to the last minutes and we win 5-2, then I don’t mind too much.”

Indeed. We’re going to have a beer.

Pride of London

Tottenham Hotspurs, forever in our shadows. What a great day to be a Gunner. Thank you Arsenal. and by the way unlucky Daniel Levy.

SDDutchGooner

Didn’t notice the tags at first. Thanks for pointing that out!

Josh

Thanks Ade 🙂

Tee

How about, go fuck yourself ade.

Runcorn Gooner

Is Adebayor hard to manage
AW. Ask Vilas Boas. Priceless

Fellonious

In the spirit oof the guardian blogs and the sentiments of a us gooner: 1.SZCZ was solid. 2.Walcott…an out and out striker would have scored those two chances…and so 3. Sign the contract and be a team player. You’re a good guy. 4. Switch Kos and Verm positions to use the extra pace he has. 5. Giroud, what a good buy he is turning out to be Mr Wenger. 6. Spurs…worthy foes. 7. Poor AVB…stupid tackle. 8. Momentum. Priceless advantage to take from the game. 9. Top three derby match in the country. Period. 10. We lost shape later on.… Read more »

Sp*rs worthy?!

A N Other

Was AVB making tackling as well? I was so engulfed in the goals, I missed all that.

5pur2 dr00L

Szcz not exactly solid… but agreed on most other points.

Fellonious

you guys need to chili out with the sarcasm. The points stand scrutiny.

Sol Goodman

If you are an Arsenal fan you shouldn’t feel sorry for any Sp*rs manager and the north London derby is not in the top 3 derby match’s, it’s in the top 1.

PacNWGooner

In the spirit of another US gooner may I rewrite this? 1. SZCZ was ok. 2. It’s amazing the difference in the side when Theo has started, more life. 3. agreed 4. uhm… 5. Giroud has done so many of the little things so good he was already a good buy, now 5 in 5 keep it up!! 6. FUCK the sp*rs 7. FUCK AVB and his lame ass wardrobe changes (he’s a fucking cunt (gotta add the cunt for our british gooners)). 8. agreed, please take it 9. what an awesome atmosphere wish I could experience it firsthand 10.… Read more »

ryan.gay.4.afc

Not too sure what the final score would have been had he not got sent off, but what a fucking bellend for doing so!! Haha COYG’s

steve boulds hairdresser

i bet wenger just wanted to dance in front of vilas boas, screaming 5-2 to le arsenal!!!

SDDutchGooner

If that happened, I promise to get Arsene’s face tattooed on my ass!

Arsenal_SouthAfrica

then i’d kiss your ass

Heh

Adebayor, he scores and for the second time forgets we will still put 5 past them. Cunt!

In other news. Liverpool pull off shock win at anfield.

A N Other

He is impossible to manage. His talent was never in question but his attitude always is. To be honest he should have been sent off for just hugging our players and most of them were embarrassed to see him so close.

Zeddington

It was great seeing players like Sagna ignore him completely in the tunnel. That’s what we like to see. It’s the North London Derby, not fucking homecoming.

The Law

By Dennis, if all our opponents are going to control games from start to finish while we do the business of, you know, actually winning the games, I wouldn’t mind at all.

Tottenhams reckoning

Was AVB watching the same match us everyone else?! Hahahahahah Sp*rs dominating from first to last what a joke

5pur2 dr00L

They played OK — it would have been anyone’s game, unfortunately, had Adebayor not made the dumbest tackle in recent memory. We DID pick it up and outclass them, but it didn’t look like a sure thing in the early stages.

Quo

If you can spare a few seconds pass by here http://m.facebook.com/TottenhamHotspur?refid=17&ref=stream and say hi 5-2 to all the sperm fans there.

vin_unleaded

Weird.

The two main comments on there.

First one was a guy I worked with for about 2 years in my early twenties – Bill Nicholson’s grandson, believe it or not.

Second is a very old mate of mine who now resides in Canada.

Small world.

TomJ

thats something like they’d do

tommyt

agree with chair. loving the tags lol

Cow

No I won’t .

Too Drunk To Be Offside

High 5 – 2 Sp*urs

Bould's Hair Dresser

Dear Adebayor,

We need one more at the Lane.

Lec

From girouds goal celebration it’s clear he loves us so damn dearly. So i’ll love him back a hundred times over.

D Fresh

Fag!……ahh what am I saying?,he’s so hunky!!

Quo

Norwich 1 – manu 0.
Where’s that rvp troll?. Oh right, crying himself to fucking sleep!. Fuck you norwich for beating us but thankyou for also beating the glazers…..
Wonderful week ahead i hope.

prhyu

Wonderful news, that.
My God.
Some 5pud2 fan said on the net that Adebayor shouldn’t have been red-carded because:
“Webb loves to be the central figure in any game. Adebayor’s tackle was reckless, but Cazoria feigned injury and played the whole 90 minutes. Adebayor’s slide caught the player’s leg in the air, not his standing leg – thus the impact did little to hurt Cazoria and Webb should have taken that into account before ruining a game with 71 minutes to go.”
LOL. 5pud2.

Kerl

^^^Hahaa….phyru.

Even without you mentioning this was from a spud I still would have known. Reasoning capacity of a cockerel balancing on a beach ball, those clowns!.

He took time time to explain utter nonsense……lol again. 5pud2 is all!

gooner odst

manure lost to norwich…if only we had won our match against them, would have been easy points to claw back.

5pur2 dr00L

We’ll claw back… we can’t lose to Villa next week, can we? I mean, they just got goaled up, 5-0… Come on, Arsenal… please!

Matin

They could and should have beaten United last week, need our boys to maintain the momentum

L

adebayor is a cunt, he is even worse than van rapist and nasri, felt so fucking good when the arsenal players ignored him in the tunnel.. Thanks Adebayor for being a stupid wanking moneygrabbing cunt.

victoria-concordia-crescit

Persie rapist schtick is tiring and unfunny, just be happy this arsenal side is still capable of sticking 5 past them lot.

L

unfunny? was i meant to be funny? don´t think so, he is a cunt.

victoria-concordia-crescit

When I got off the train before the match I was greeted on the platform by a bunch of Sp*rs fans singing ‘you’re just a french jimmy saville’ over and over. We expect better of ourselves as a fan base because on the whole we are better than them. If you think he’s a cunt call him a cunt, I’d agree with you, but to throw baseless rape allegations is what the likes of them do. It’s classless and unbecoming of us as fans or as a club. We are THE Arsenal after all

Clock End Mike

Glad you said it. No need to sink to the level of the poor neighbours down the lane. As you say, we’re better than them.

L

i agree with you victoria-concordia-crescit it was really to call him rapist, but he is the cuntishness himself.. He is such a big cunt, it cant be described with words..

VictoriaConcordiaCrescit

I know what you mean L, if it helps just make up words to express your distaste, UltraCunt, MegaCunt etc. Or if we all in general conversation just use the term ‘Robin van Persie’ to describe a despicable lying prick, ‘That guy at work is such a RVP’ or ‘My partner cheated on me he/she is such a RVP’ then it should enter common slang relatively quickly. I encourage everyone here to do this! then even people who don’t follow football will know about Robin van Persie’s RVP-ishness

denchures

Rvp is a bellend but try to stop going on about it. It makes you/us seem a bit bunnyboilerish. Good players come, good players go…

Goona13

I’d say victory is all the more sweeter because of adebawhore’s red card.

He deserves a kick up his arse from his manager for getting sent off so early in the game.

Rodders1971

The sending off certainly did change the game-it meant there were only ten thunderous cu#nts on the pitch instead of eleven!

RVP

I nearly signed for spurs just to annoy Arsenal fans but then realised it’s mid-table like Arsenal #kingRVP

Rodders1971

Run along now troll.What was the score again?

Brian Mendoza

Norwich

Frog

Don’t feed the troll.

Wenger's Herpes

If you are hash-tagging RVP as King RVP you are basically praising Arsenal. He played for us for years and we made him the player he is. You are just getting sloppy seconds and now you are the ones over-reliant upon him. If you big him up you are bigging up Arsenal. So, yes, I have no bitterness. Enjoy the ability of an Arsenal player.

CanArse

Have we ever thought of playing either jenks or sagna at left back?

Naija Gunner

If cunts controlled the game from start to finish and we won 5-1, what would the score be if we controlled it from start to finish….10-0?!

gunnersftw

arsenal <3 greatest fans in the league and probably in the world not at all like glory hunting man utd, chelsea and city fans… I hate City and Chelsea for destroying the league, nobody can compete with them economically, and financial fair play won´t stop them.. This shit teams with shit supporters will destroy the league and turn it to a La Liga, two teams competing to win the title.

As long as arsenal plays good football iam happy, but it is sad that money goes before passion for a club..

phat

adebayor changed the game.

steve boulds hairdresser

“bould’s hair dresser”. original name.

Des

Fucking father of all cunts (ade) was out and about today being his usual cunty self. The only that was needed was for him to fucking fuck off and he eventually brought it to himself. Stay out cunt!!!, remained with 10 other mild cunts on the pitch and we ran them over like we are supposed to.

N/……. I curse way too fucking much, I need
to stop that shit..

Midfield Corporal

If I was a Spud, apart from being a delusional twat who should just do the world a favour and shoot himself, I’d be pretty pissed off watching the monkey boy walk off laughing with Theo. You’ve just shipped five for the second season on the trot against your neighbours, show your fans some respect, they may be cunts but they’re your cunts.
The Glenmorangie is tasting sweet tonight, I can even watch X Factor with Mrs Corporal without moaning.

alx96

As the Arsenal manager said, “If our opponents are in control from the first to the last minutes and we win 5-2, then I don’t mind too much.”

AW actually capable of pragmatism. But it is beyond me, and infuriating when he makes decision (or when he does not make decision) adjusting to the condition at hand. You know what I mean?

Nordin

Why in the f*€k did AW plays Ramsey…again??!! Why?? Santos can be effective as LM…so gd to see AW realise it & play him there…but please no more LB for him!! Theo upfront with Ox on RM is a very viable option. Gd for AW to try that in final few minutes…but should give them more. Carl should be given more playin time…maybe at LB…or combination of Sagna & him on the right? Be more adventurous & less predictable AW!! Per & Kos stays for me. And Szczesny too!! No compromise there!! Good victory overall. Hope they use this as… Read more »

What a nice day to be an Arsenal supporter. Arsenal winning easily against spuds, man of the match performance by adebayor, one of the biggest c*nts in the game. Of course we were helped by that red card, but while it is understandable that it became very difficult for them offensively, it can’t be the only explanation why we were able to score for fun. At times we absolutely trashed them, we created tons of chances and it could have been 7 goals if we had been a bit more cynical. Just to make it even better chle$ki and manure… Read more »

North Bank Gooner

how come a team playing 4-4-2 can lose 1 up top, and then ship 5, but its because one of the strikers was sent off? is he that much of a defensive fulcrum???

Face it, the spuds got their battys owned, plain and simple.

by the way ‘arry, keep on taking the tablets mate, youll need them with that twitch and sore neck from looking up. finish above us my Arse!!!!
