kenny dalglish tells arsene wenger to pee off by baggieboy78

Immediately afterwards the cameras cut to Arsene walking towards Kenny Dalglish. Arsene said something, Dalglish looked incredulous and then told Arsene to piss off. This, apparently, has created some kind of furore amongst some Arsenal fans. Who knew we had so many puritans following us? If they’re going to get offended by somebody telling somebody else to piss off then I assume they go to the games with ear-plugs and iPods on lest they hear foul language and cursing.

And here’s the thing: if I were the opposition manager, whose team had just scored an equaliser like that, and Arsene came over to me moaning because one of his players had given away the most stupid penalty of all time, I’d tell him to do a lot more than piss off. Credit also to Dalglish for not rising to the bait offered by the risible Geoff Shreeves in the post match interview on Sky.

So what if he told Arsene to piss off? What the fuck does it matter? To be quite honest, as much as I love Arsene, he deserved it. Dalglish didn’t give away the penalty. If you want to mouth off at somebody may I suggest a certain Ivorian right back. And before people go too mental about Eboue, put it in perspective. It was stupid, and I have little time for him as a player, but the reason it was so costly is what has come before. 17 points dropped at home this season is too many. 0-0 against Sunderland and 0-0 against Blackburn in recent weeks (on top of everything else) are what’s made his error so damaging. With those four points we’d be just two behind United.
