"It wasn't overly rash. He put his foot up to win the ball and carried through. The referee called it reckless and he [Greer] has to pay the consequences," he said.

Hmmmm...there are very few things I would disagree with you on Danny but... :hmmm:

Yes, it's out of the Arsene Wenger Coaching Manual and I understand why he said it.....but we're not fucking blind are we? He could have at least said, "it was perhaps a little rash" or something. That's still putting it extremely mildly but at least acknowledges that Greer did something wrong. Saying it wasn't 'overly rash' just looks a bit silly really. Is he saying he shouldn't even have been sent off?
