Arsene Wenger has made a laughable claim about David Ospina

Arsene Wenger is generally regarded as one of the most decent and gentlemanly football men around.

And by all accounts his pre-match press conferences are usually affairs where the Frenchman will discuss anything and everything football related.

But this morning the Arsenal boss was especially vexed by questions about his team selection for the loss to Olympiakos in the Champions League, and why he decided to drop Petr Cech for David Ospina who made a horrible mistake against the Greek side.

And the Frenchman appears to have completely lost all reason when it comes to his goalkeeping options.

When he was quizzed about that statement the Frenchman became cranky and threatenened to walk out of the presser

Wenger’s football knowledge is normally impeccable and obviously he’s going to protect his players in public, but we respectfully disagree with him on this one.
