Wenger – Football is difficult if you are not United!
Arsene Wenger understands that it has been difficult for all the new Arsenal players coming in to handle the great expectations immediately placed on them while they were still settling in, but he now feels that the squad have the “mental strength” to deal with the criticism.
“Football is difficult if you are not united,” Wenger said. “When you are not it becomes impossible.
“One strength we do have here is that we are united and we can fight against adversity. When you are at a big club you have to have the mental strength to fight against that. There are periods when people say you are much better than you are and periods when people say you are much worse than you are.
“People forget that we had to go through a very difficult period with transfers. We had to give absolutely everything to qualify against Udinese and every time we paid a heavy price after that in the championship.
“I would like to show you some critics after the Newcastle game when we drew 0-0. We got slaughtered, played with ten men, Newcastle are unbeaten and nobody talks about it. We were playing in a very difficult environment from the start onwards and that is not easy for players who come to this Club.”
I guess I need to apologis for the headline, although that is exactly what Wenger said. But it is unclear as to whether he was talking about Manchester United or Newcastle United!

Wait, just because he says “Arsenal are not united” dosen’t mean that he referring to Manchester united or Newcastle united. Isn’t it possible that he is just referring to unity togetherness? The seems to suggest just that.

Please stop with the sensationalized headlines.
The only reason to capitalize “United” was to mislead people.
