This is not a very popular claim in the Football Transfer Tavern…
Since arriving at Arsenal over 20 years ago, Arsene Wenger has undoubtedly been an Arsenal man.
Everything that he has said and done up until this point has been focused on Arsenal and what is best for his club; so when asked what his favourite stadium is, you would expect him to say the Emirates – right?
Well, the Arsenal fans in the Football Transfer Tavern certainly were expecting that; but Wenger has instead opted to bypass his home ground in favour of one of his rival’s stadiums…
In an interview with beIN SPORTS, Arsene Wenger was questioned on his favourite stadium – and without much thought, immediately said Anfield, which is, of course, the home of Liverpool.
His reasoning for that statement? Wenger notes, in particular, the “special vibes, the songs before the game…and the history of the club”.
Granted, the Arsenal fans in the Football Transfer Tavern have questioned the nature of the Emirates Stadium with regards to the atmosphere – but surely Wenger would just ignore that?
The Arsenal fans in the Football Transfer Tavern are not too happy about this…
Our landlord thinks that it might have something to do with the lack of success seen at Arsenal’s latest stadium. Highbury, of course, was a very different animal – and was the home of the Gunners during their most dominant phase. We’ll let you off, Arsene…
