Tabloids and the Sky crew have tried for years to picture Arsene Wenger as a bad loser.
Some cheap tabloids like the Daily Mail, Daily Star or the Sun even insult him by calling him “whinger” after every defeat.
But if you analyse all post-match comments, you will see that most losing managers are regularly moaning.
Usually it is an attempt to save face with their own fans and under-pressure managers whinge the most.
Wenger is portrayed as the “whinger” just because he is foreign AND French.
But British managers moan more. We have seen it with serial whingers like Pulis, Coyle, McLeish and Allardyce. However, the media never accuse them of anything.
Moyes accused our World Cup Winner for comments made at half-time. But when pressed to state what those remarks were he could not actually tell. So why open your mouth in the first place?
Just because you are under pressure and your club is sliding towards relegation does not mean that you can make unsubstantiated accusations about another team’s player.
Just because you have no money to spend and had to sell your star player for next to nothing does not absolve you of any blame.
Everton made a lot of rough tackles too and got a very controversial goal. Moyes choose to accuse Fabregas and it worked like a charm with the media- who is suffering the regular inferiority complex about a World Cup Winner. We saw it with Vieira and Pires.
I hope that the FA asks Moyes to prove his accusations and if not hit him with a ban for bringing the game into disrepute.
