Arsenal boss condemns Blatter comments


Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger thinks that the comments made by Sepp Blatter on racism were appalling, but also thinks they have been taken out of context in England. Wenger feels that there is a strong feeling of discontent for Blatter after England's failed World Cup bid.

"I think there is a personal battle between the papers and Sepp Blatter and Fifa. There is some bitterness as well from the last World Cup decision," said Wenger.

"But that all does not mean that Blatter can say we do not have to punish racist comments. I think you have to. I am for zero tolerance."
