Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has branded today's ex-player pundits big heads only interested in talking about themselves.

Wenger has been criticised heavily this season, particularly by Manchester United legend Gary Neville.

The Arsenal boss said: “The only thing I want is that, when people have opinions, it is documented and worked-out before - especially when it is football specialists. It is not just about talking.

"I accept you can be right and I can be wrong, but what you do not want is just an opinion that comes out just because you feel like that.

“When I watch sometimes, the guy doesn't talk about the game - he tells you his life and what he thinks about football.

“But I like to know that Schneiderlin passed to Carrick.

"Sometimes, I watch games and at the end I don't know the players who have played on the pitch because the guys don't comment on the game any more.

“The first mission is to educate people. Yes, that is fantastic because the guy who has played can explain things to the guy who has not played at the top level. It can help them understand and get people to really love the game.

“That, for me, is the first mission. To also come out and say, 'Oh yes, this game is great.' Some do it very well but the other way, I don't like so much.

“I accept critics, I think I have shown you over 20 years that I cannot solve the lot but I want people to educate and get people to love the game."
