Wenger lashes out over football's fakers

Mon, 12 Mar 2012 5:44p.m.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has hit out against football Hollywoods and injury fakes, and is instructing his team not to do them.

Wenger is still livid over Gervinho?s red card for slapping Joey Barton on the opening day of the season at Newcastle.

He also thinks Liverpool?s Luis Suarez?s behaviour against his team is proof that refs are far too soft on amateur dramatics.

"It annoys me when that sort of thing happens but I know it can also happen with one of my players.

"For example, Suarez got a penalty against us at Anfield last week that was no penalty because nobody touched him.

"Everyone who has played football can understand that players try to win a penalty when they push the ball too far and go down although nobody has touched them.

"But when they roll down their sock, take out the shinpad and react as though they have been kicked like mad... that is a bit overboard.

"When you face that situation with one of your own players, you talk to them. But they already know."

Victory in tomorrow morning?s match will take Arsenal to within one point of third-placed Spurs after looking out of the race for Champions League qualification a month ago.

And Wenger thinks it all bodes well for the future.

"We have created the momentum with our recent results. For consistency, this is the best spirit we've had in the group for a while."
