Arsene Wenger - My Fake Diary

Saturday, 22 September 2012

Following our champions league win at Montpellier on Tuesday, its back to Premier League business this weekend and we visit the Etihad to play Manchester City tomorrow.

Of course in the last few years this has become a grudge match as much as playing Spurs or United, because City have swiped many of our key players. Adebayor, Cliche and Toure - I was glad Van Persie went to United instead of City!

While we were beating Montpellier, City were playing Real in Madrid, and came very close to beating them on their home patch, leading 2-1 with minutes to play before conceding 2 late goals. Mancini criticized the disapointed keeper Joe Hart for speaking his mind immediately after coming off the pitch.

Do I detect some tension in the camp? They may be able to buy the premiership, but the Champions League is a different kettle of fish. Last year Tevez and Baloteli upset the City apple-cart, maybe it is time to reverse the conveyor belt from Arsenal to City, and I can sign Joe Hart in the transfer window.
