"Show me a good loser and I'll show you a loser," said Vince Lombardi, the legendary NFL coach. Fair point, but you can be a gracious loser and still maintain the fire and passion that Lombardi had.
There are few less gracious losers in football than Arsene Wenger, a manager who has given Arsenal and the English game so many positives.
Sadly, it is not in his vocabulary to say: "Credit to the opposition, they deserved to win." Arsenal is rarely beaten fair and square, it is someone else's fault, usually a perceived inadequate referee, a dodgy offside decision or unsporting opponents, which is a bit rich from a manager whose teams have accumulated 100 red cards during his time in charge of Arsenal. Mind you, Wenger probably agreed with no more than eight of those dismissals.
