Talk about bad loser. A team that didn't manage single shoot on goal, had the ball less than 30 % (also before van Persie was sent off) etc. etc....and yet he can't give credit to a much superior team. He for sure most be the most delusioned manager ever and fast losing respect in the football world. He told Pep to congratulate the ref for the victory. The worst loser in top-football so far.
Strangely he's totally forgotten the days when his team - particularly Pires & Henry - set en benchmark for diving skills (incrediblyl the press seemed to ignore all the penalties gooners got for dives not to speak of thos they didn't get when their players made what must be a record number of dives).

Arsenal’s Bold Wenger Retorts: “Dictatorial” UEFA Must Apologize, Not Us!
Angela Asante, March 10th, 2011
Punishment from UEFA is about to fall upon Arsenal’s Samir Nasri as well as Arsene Wenger. But the Gunners’ coach is resolute to fight for his right with loud calls.
Arsene Wenger has actually been charged with improper conduct based on incidents that happened during Arsenal’s embarrassing defeat away to Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League. According to reports, it is very likely that the Frenchman will receive a two-match ban for abusively clashing against referee Massimo Busacca in the tunnel.
However, nothing has been confirmed yet as it is understood that it is only on March 17 that the issue will be heard. See these links for a better view of the topic. But UEFA’s decisions have apparently raised Arsene Wenger’s eyebrows. The Frenchman was quick to refute any allegations on Thursday. He told the media:
“I deny completely any charge. I don’t understand where that comes from. It’s a shame, for me, that the referee took the decision to send Van Persie off. It was the wrong decision.
“The first leg was a fantastic advert for football and the second game has been destroyed. People now will only remember the sending off.
“It would be good for UEFA to show some humility and to apologise for what has happened, not charge people who have done nothing wrong.
“We are out of the Champions League. We have lost one of our big ambitions. We have been punished with a lot of damages and, on top of that, we have to say sorry to Uefa!
“We have done nothing wrong. They organised the competition. They named the referees who come to the games.
“When you have a football game of that stature, you cannot come out with decisions like that and show a lot of arrogance on top of that.
“We can all understand that we can make wrong decisions, but after that, it becomes dictatorship. It’s not any more common sense.
“This decision frustrated us and frustrated everybody who loves football. You can check any statement I made on television after the game.
“If I have done anything wrong I am ready to be charged. As for what is said in the tunnel, if you can get only one thing where I have come out on what has been said against me or against the referee during my 15 years in England, I will pay for you to have a big holiday!”
Arsenal may have clinched an awful record according to Opta, but their coach, Arsene Wenger, may also make history. What if the Frenchman ends up inspiring football for a dramatic change when it comes to freedom of expression and justice?
Should he be right or wrong, Arsene Wenger may receive a lot of jeers from football fans for his resilience presently. But sooner or later, the Frenchman may end up earning the respect of many for various reasons – once again, related to controversy.
And here's some stats Whinger very conveniently "did not see"(from a forum)....
1st leg at the Emirates:
1. Legal Goal disallowed to Messi when the score was 0-1
2. Blatant handball in Arsenal's box when the scored was 0-1, 1st half
3. Penalty on Pedro (as clear as water) when he was 1 to 1 with your keeper and was fouled from behind, which should have been a straigth red card for your defender, when the score was 0-1.
4. Song who picked a yello in the 6th minute should've been sent off at least twice.
After the game, did we cry???? NOOOO!! We congratulated Arsenal since we could have thrased you in the 1st half, and we didnt... We did self-criticism and learn from it, despite that if we had had all this decitions right the score could have been very different.
2nd leg at the Camp Nou:
1. CLEAR PENALTY on Messi in the 1st half, not given...
2. Van Persie (your "great player") was involved in 2 bundles in the 1st half. He picked a SILLY yellow card in a throw in, in which he lost the sight of the ball turning around as the ball was coming towards him, to look for Alves face to slap him... He was VERY LUCKY to get away only with a yellow, since it was aggresion with no ball.... And then in the famous 55th min, after being forgiven by the referee a straigth red and being involved in 2 scraps... he kicked the ball once the referee had blown his whistle... which is a yellow card in England, in Spain or in the Moon... IT IS A YELLOW card.. the thing is that the referees many time just warn the players... but Van Persie had been giving trouble already... Was really the ref the one to be blamed, or Van Persie? or probably W**ger for not substituted him at half time when he was very agitated????
3. 2nd yellow card not given to your defender when Pedro was fouled in the box (penalty)
Do you really think that the referee benefited Barcelona, or just do not have a clue about football or just Arsenal are a bunch or bad losers, JUST LIKE W**ger IS.???
