Arsene Wenger has dismissed suggestions he showed a lack of respect to Monaco manager Leonardo Jardim as ‘lies’.
Claiming he’d been on the receiving end of a snub at full time of his side’s first-leg win at the Emirates, the Portuguese coach took the opportunity to deliberately ignore the Frenchman after the Gunners 2-0 victory at the Stade Louis II.
Explaining his actions at the time, he told press: “In the first leg, when I wanted to shake his hand, he did not thank me, so this time, even though Arsenal did everything possible to go through, I chose not to thank him.
“Right now we are celebrating and think that Arsenal maybe did not show all the respect that they should have during the first leg.”
Angered by Jardim’s claims, Wenger explained that an opportunity to congratulate his peer at the Emirates didn’t come about until after his media duties were done and dusted.
“The images show that I waited for the Monaco coach to congratulate him after the match,” he told L’Equipe.
“He celebrated the win with his staff, which I fully understood. I then congratulated him after the press conference.
“So I am surprised and disappointed to hear such lies. That said, I wish all the best and good luck to Monaco for what is to come.”
It’s much of a muchness at this point. In truth we only really report it because (a) it’s a slow news day and (b) we love a good pun.
For what it’s worth, Jardim can fuck right off and sit in a patch of piss-soaked stinging nettles.
This Jardim bloke looks like the son of Maureen
Don’t know about looks wise, absolutely attitude wise seems to be very much so!
He is very ugly, I grant you.
Looks more like Arjen Robben’s long lost brother
The bastard child of Robben and Mourinho.
So, basically a cunt with cunts for parents, then?
I suggest the bastard child of Robben and Ron Perlman (abandoned at birth explaining the huge chip on his shoulder) and then raised by Mourinho.
Apparently this bald fu&% wanted a bouquet tulips and a kiss on the cheek.
Don’t we all?
That and a reach around.

Wenger to jardim
Lolllll roaring with laughter
I once had a cousin who never spoke to me for five years because I forgot to shake his hand.
He is a big thanker, by the sounds of it. Whereas Arsene isn’t.
classy as always, the professor.
Enjoy it while it lasts you sore winning prick. You won’t be in for long. Sides less forgiving than we were will punish what is a very average side.
“good luck to Monaco for what is to come.”
Insert Wenger smile here.
Leonardo Jardim me hole.. He even lied about that his real name which is
José Leonardo Nunes Alves Sousa Jardim
In short…
Jose – Cunt
Alves – Cunt
i bet he doesn’t even manage Monaco – the liar
If you’re talking about Dani Alves he’s actually a really nice guy and when Eric Abidal had liver cancer Alves actually offered him part of his liver – something which would have severely affected his health and his career – in order to help save his life. I doubt there’s many footballers who would act so selflessly, and if my surname were Alves I would be proud of it.
Classy thread this one – what’s the tone we are going for? Chelsea fan stylie?
I’ll go for Bruno Alves from Fenerbache and Portugal so – i mean how could you even think i meant Dani – He is a gregarious chap and only footballtastically evil and barcelonadnaish
Why do managers and back room staff bleat about this ‘he didn’t shake my hands’ bollocks anyway.
Really is a load of nonsense.
Because nonsense or not it is what sportspeople at any level traditionally do after competing. Boxers even hug each other. I think its called and regarded as sportsmanship….
yeah but bitching about sportsmanship aint really sportsmanship
It’s common here but much less so on the continent.
Special cunt part two
Ooh wheres ya handbags?
Why does ge look like Arjen Robben’s Spanish Dad?
Surely the urine would reduce the effectiveness of the stinging nettles lol so how getting him to sit on a rose bush butt naked instead?
The botanist who discovered poison sumac in the 18th century (I forget his name) described it as “leaving me in a fevered delirium, with a large red blister covering the whole of my body.”
I feel this might be the most appropriate botanical option for our Spanish friend. After all, roses are pretty and we can’t have there being the consolation of pleasing aesthetic value. 😉
Why would urine reduce the sting of nettle?
Also, I like the idea of him sitting in piss, regardless of what other offending plant joins him.
That would insult the roses.
Great news today about Skrtel getting a ban. That means that he, Gerrard and probably the injured Sturridge will all miss the game at the Grove. And the two banned players will also be absent for two more crucial matches. With home advantage we should see them off and knock them out of the top-four race. BTW: aren’t these inter-lulls really fucking annoying? Who gives a fuck about international football anymore? Why can’t they just pay all these qualifying games during the summer after the proper football is over? And why don’t the big nations just automatically qualify to avoid… Read more »
I’d prefer dry nettles for him to sit in – I think the piss may make them less stingy! – just saying…:-)
I think that with the piss being rather acidic, it would intensify the pain from the nettles. But to avoid further arguments on the topic, how about nettles soaked in sulfuric acid then? That would definitiely get the job done.
OK, OK! Dry nettle the ugly troll first, THEN piss on him. Better?
Shit you just said that!!! I’ll get my coat…
Go to hell Jardim and take the whole Monaco team with you … maybe Bono too 🙂
Let’s go one better. Offer him Piers Morgan as a supporter.
Force him on them please.
No club would accept an offer like that willingly.
is it only me or we are in an era where portugal is giving rise to pricks as coaches? first, it was that cunt maureen then the guy in the upward spiral of his coaching career and now this thwart. i hope am wrong though
Media hype obviously this monaco manager chap is looking for attention plus wengers record at monaco was fair.
Ah the mysteries of life. Portugal is such a beautiful country; why all the cunty football coaches?
so zizzu’s long lost cousin is actually a cunt! who’d have thought!
Hmmm kinda reminds me of Louis Litt from suits. A quite pungent fellow it seems. Waah waah waah! He didn’t shake my hand. Pfft
Okay as no news is good news time, I wanna take the opportunity to share mine. I’m heading to London with my buddies to watch the FA Arsenal Wembly game. Straight from Chi-town babe!!!
