Wolves boss Mick McCarthy can't believe the doubters questioning Arsenal counterpart Arsene Wenger at the start of the season.

McCarthy admits he'd happily pay to watch the Gunners play their slick passing game - he just won't be very happy if he finds himself watching it in full flow tonight.

He said: "They didn't sign any big names and some people were cribbing about it. I can never understand it because the guy consistently had a team that won things.

"If not they were always in the running, the club wasn't bankrupted, has a stadium that is the envy of everyone and a team that plays better football than anyone.

"And there are people still not happy with that."
