Arsenal boss Wenger again snaps at pundits: You have no responsibility

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has again hit back at pundits.

Wenger has already defended his team and now says pundits are not answerable when their opinions are wrong and the statistics do not back up their arguments.

“Opinions for me have to be documented," said Wenger in an interview with beIN Sports.

“We won the cup last year. You don't win the (FA) cup unless you are mentally strong, believe me. That's why I don't agree with that.

“You have to respect everybody's opinion. Pundits are just people who are filmed by a camera and give their opinion and you have to accept that but if a pundit gives an opinion and is not right in six months, nobody will come back and say: 'well, why did you say that six months ago? You were completely wrong.'

“It's just an assessment and an opinion you have to respect. The modern world, people are informed. People are informed and have opinions but at the end of the day someone had to make decisions.

“People who make decisions have to be responsible and stand up for their decisions and that's not exactly the same for the opinion.

“That's part of our job, to be confronted with different opinions and to accept that sometimes people are wrong and sometimes people are right. That's part of it. I disagree of course."
