“Arsenal have so many penalties through the season, they have to do tricks”. What a gem!
Jose Mourinho’s whingeing is so much more florid and more pithy than Arsene Wenger’s rambling attempts to conceal his anger and embarrassment at countryman Robert Pirez’s nutty passed penalty kick: “I was surprised [i.e. fucking furious] when I saw it. Pirez had scored the first one marvellously [it’s only a penalty, Arsene], so there was no reason for him to be shaky for the second [he wasn’t, mon ami - he’s an arrogant prick]. Thierry felt he was too tired to take it [yeah, like he might nod off on the run-up], so that’s why he didn’t step up [deja assez, monsieur].”
