Wenger surprised by ban

Wenger surprised by ban

29 November 2007 - 21:19

Arsene Wenger has admitted he is surprised by the one game ban he will endure after the Arsenal vs. Sevilla game when he was sent-off. Wenger was unable to enter the stands to be sent off, but has defended his actions.

  • Chelsea midfielder looking forward to London derby vs Spurs
  • Arsenal in the front row to sign Dutch striker

  • Wenger declared: "I am not saying I am an angel on the touchline, but I have done much worse than what I did on Tuesday night.



    "I am like everybody, sometimes there are periods when I am nervous and explode a bit quicker, but overall I try to control it.



    "At the end of the day I know what I have done, and I know I have not done a lot.



    "It's like if the speed limit is 60mph, sometimes you are not caught when you drive 70mph and sometimes you are caught when you drive 61. I drove 60 and a half.



    "I was surprised that I was sent off for what I said.



    "I said it was naive to give Alves time to waste that time. I said 'I bet with you he will sprint in two minutes'. It was less than two minutes.



    "I could not go to the stand and did not know how to get there."
