Is it Wenger or Wanker
He now says Man U's run in was easier than there's
their last two games were quite easy [against Tottenham and Charlton] and we had difficult games."
Arsène Wenger claimed last night that Arsenal are the best team in the country, despite seeing his players surrender their title to Manchester United.
The Frenchman congratulated United but insisted Arsenal's success in finishing second in the Premiership and reaching the FA Cup final confirmed them as England's finest.
"There was a very small difference between the two teams," Wenger said. "I think overall, if you look at the FA Cup and the championship, we are certainly the best. But in the championship [United] found their form at the right moment."
No one, though, will feel there has been the shift in the balance of power Wenger predicted after Arsenal won the title at Old Trafford last May. The manager has no regrets about those comments or remarks that Sir Alex Ferguson saw as over-confident.
"We don't want to be second best," he said. "We want to be the best. I know in this country it looks suspicious or arrogant to come out and say you are ambitious but we are ambitious and we say it."
Wenger is adamant that Arsenal would "certainly" have retained the title had they not let slip a 2-0 lead at Bolton but dismissed suggestions his team "threw away" the title and said they had been "unlucky" recently.
"It wasn't psychological," he said, preferring to point to the absence of players including Patrick Vieira and Sol Campbell and what he described as a difficult run-in against teams fighting for survival in Bolton and Leeds. But he conceded: "In recent games we conceded every time two goals. You can't get away with that."
Arsenal's nine points from a possible 21 compares with United's 19 but Wenger said: "I don't think Manchester United were flying. They were consistent. They found a consistent defence but their last two games were quite easy [against Tottenham and Charlton] and we had difficult games."
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
