Wenger's acceptance speech doesn't wash

EVEN with explosive forward Alexis Sanchez in the side I don't trust Arsenal to do the business against the top teams.

Arsene Wenger says Sanchez has settled so fast because "he feels accepted by the other players".

Hmm, not sure I'm with you on that one Arsene, he probably doesn't need Theo Walcott and Danny Welbeck patting him on the back to feel good about himself.

Surely it's just because he's a brilliant player?

Although maybe Mesut Ozil's struggles in adapting are because he feels unaccepted by his team-mates. Maybe they bully him and hide his left boot every week so he has to play with two right feet.

There's one big difference between Manchester City and Arsenal, despite City boss Manuel Pellegrini's claims to the contrary. He said: "I don't think this club or this team is just money. It's not money... Maybe the media say it's just money - it's not money."

Did someone mention money? It hadn't even crossed my mind.

My mum taught me that it was impolite to talk about money, so let's just say I'll be having a monkey on City and a pony on Sanchez to score.
