Ars? Wenger: Arsenal manager's best quotes
1. "Everyone thinks they have the prettiest wife at home" - May 2002, in response to Sir Alex Ferguson's claim that Manchester United had been the best side in the Premier League since Christmas that season.
2. "He's out of order, disconnected with reality and disrespectful. When you give success to stupid people, it makes them more stupid sometimes and not more intelligent" - November 2005, in response to former Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho's claim that Wenger was a football 'voyeur'.
3. "He [Sir Alex Ferguson] doesn't interest me and doesn't matter to me at all. I will never answer to any provocation from him any more" - January 2005.
4. "[Sir Alex] Ferguson's out of order. He has lost all sense of reality. He is going out looking for a confrontation, then asking the person he is confronting to apologise. He's pushed the cork in a bit far this time" - January 2005, in reaction to Ferguson's assertion that Wenger knew the identity of the players who allegedly threw pizza and soup at him after the final whistle of their match at Old Trafford in October 2004.
5. "If you have a child who is a good musician, what is your first reaction? It is to put [them] into a good music school, not in an average one. So why should that not happen in football?" - September 2009, in response to Uefa president Michel Platini and Fifa president Sepp Blatter's respective claims that the top clubs' pursuit of young players was akin to "child slavery" and "child trafficking".
6. "Sometimes I see it [a foul by an Arsenal player], but I say that I didn’t see it to protect the players and because I could not find any rational explanation for that they did."
7. "Young players need freedom of expression to develop as creative players... they should be encouraged to try skills without fear of failure."
8. "It's silly to work hard the whole week and then spoil it by not preparing properly before the game. "
9. "At a young age winning is not the most important thing... the important thing is to develop creative and skilled players with good confidence."
10. "I think in England you eat too much sugar and meat and not enough vegetables."
