Wenger needs to learn art of being good loser

IT’S official. He says so himself. Arsene Wenger is a bad loser. He’ll have enhanced the role at the Reebok on Saturday night.

It’s all of five years since Sir Bobby Robson, and then still in charge of Newcastle United, saw his team win at Highbury, after which he pointedly remarked, “Some people around here need to learn how to lose.”

So, though I’m pleased he had the good grace not to contest the FA misconduct charge after his touchline bust-up with Alan Pardew, I don’t particularly commend Wenger for his honesty. Rather, I wish he’d grow up.
