Arsenal feels for Sir Alex after defeat

Arsenal feels for Sir Alex after defeat

24 October 2011 - 06:32

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has offered his thoughts to Man Utd manager Sir Alex Ferguson, after United were trounced by city rivals Man City on Sunday evening.

  • 100 percent fit: Enzo Maresca provides update on Chelsea midfielder
  • Chelsea & Man Utd want to sign Vitor Roque?

  • Arsenal had a trouncing of their own earlier in the season, when they travelled to Old Trafford and lost in shocking fashion by 8-2.



    Wenger, though, feels sorry for Ferguson.



    "It's a surprise," Wenger said. "But France nearly beat New Zealand in the rugby and that was a surprise.



    "Like when we lost 8-2, the big scores have no special meaning, it only means something special happened in the game.



    "When you are in a position where you have to attack with 10 men against a good side you are vulnerable. It's not that you lost three points, but the emotional aspect of a result like that remains in your head."
