Fabregas sinks Arsenal for Wenger... again

Barcelona’s Cesc Fabregas does not miss a chance to remind his ex-club Arsenal just why he left them.

In his latest tirade against Arsene Wenger and Arsenal, the Spanish attacking midfielder called Arsenal a club that is "more a French than an English side".

According to Espn.com, quoting So Foot, Cesc said: "To speak English is important nowadays. I also learnt French. I had no choice.

"Arsenal are more a French than an English side in the sense that Frenchmen and African [from French speaking countries] do not speak English between them.

"To learn French was the only way for me to understand what was said and also to reply to those who mocked me."

Apart from not winning trophies it may be the language bug that also drove Fabregas out of the Emirates and back to Spain, where he has since won trophies, and presumably done speaking Spanish and English.

In fact the current fracas at the Emirates involving Theo Walcott is quite reminiscent of the way the French national team have gone about their recent past with player revolts and manager unrest.

The latest criticism comes at a time when Arsene Wenger’s position as manager is once again being questioned.

A former Gunners captain leveling this accusation will only add fuel to the fire.
