@the_bbq_bob

I dont recall him saying that, or it being that open, sounds more like Harry!

8:47AM Tue, November 29 2011

@rcammisola

remember reading Wenger likes quiet on the bench when arsenal in possession.

8:47AM Tue, November 29 2011

@mikerobertsoon Edinburgh

saw a recent interview with Van Persie about when he was at Feyenoord and his talks with Wenger, maybe on @arseblog ?

@abhinayp IIM C, Kolkata

http://t.co/VWSHH5fP - U' ll find his conversation with RVP in there..

8:47AM Tue, November 29 2011

@SteveWill83

Try asking @FourFourTom he may be able to help out

8:48AM Tue, November 29 2011

@Nerdyyy

I remember reading that 100%, on here too, just not the source.

8:48AM Tue, November 29 2011

@thefootyblognet UK

@Zonal_Marking that's why he sold Merson.

8:49AM Tue, November 29 2011

@chelseayouth

Is it this stuff from Arteta? http://t.co/LUlUfURv

@Botters92 London

u mean the yt video?

8:51AM Tue, November 29 2011

@ultoryan Dublin - all of it

he just points at a blank chalkboard and says to the team 'le voila!', shrugs, says 'cherchez le victoire', leaves

8:51AM Tue, November 29 2011

@sal7 Skegness

I think it was Mikel Arteta saying he gave very simple instructions

8:52AM Tue, November 29 2011

@Nerdyyy

No, just written. Haven't seen any video.

8:53AM Tue, November 29 2011

@nick_marks

do you mean with @Persie_Official when AW asked him to think about his decisions and what a world class player would do?

8:55AM Tue, November 29 2011

@ultoryan Dublin - all of it

or more seriously this on management style http://t.co/azU0NJCr

isn't "I didn't see it" applicable for once...

@CarlMWordpress

Lee Dixon has said something to that effect before.

@nagah0 yer ma, hi

This? http://t.co/WX6Kz1P8

9:08AM Tue, November 29 2011

@LeanderESPN New York

I heard he gave instructions but always kept them to exactly 7 minutes to not lose attention. That was a few years ago though

9:11AM Tue, November 29 2011

@PhilippeAuclair London

I remember Lee Dixon saying exactly that, Michael. Robert Pires too. I'll try to dig that one out.

9:12AM Tue, November 29 2011

@fantana275 SW London

Have seen the same quote, will try to dig it out. May have been in reply to a Q about why the AFC bench is so passive.

9:17AM Tue, November 29 2011

@11Gunz Milwaukee

didn't Arteta give an interview to the Times recently and he said the same thing. I think it was a week and a half ago.

9:23AM Tue, November 29 2011

@MattWFC7 Staffordshire

Alex Fynn mentions something about that in his 'Arsenal: Making of a Modern Super Club'. Do you think it's a good idea?

9:24AM Tue, November 29 2011

@FStuve

@Zonal_Marking Think RvP said something similarly when he reached 100 goals for #afc earlier this season aswell.

9:34AM Tue, November 29 2011

@LaureJames Belfast

Arteta said Wenger doesn't instruct players and instead gives them several ideas for their game.

9:37AM Tue, November 29 2011

@cj_hunt Bristol, England

@Zonal_Marking like Avram Grant at West Ham?

9:39AM Tue, November 29 2011

@Zonal_Marking

Wow that's interesting, ta.

9:39AM Tue, November 29 2011

@Zonal_Marking

cheers!

9:43AM Tue, November 29 2011

@Zonal_Marking

I suppose it has benefits and drawbacks...

9:44AM Tue, November 29 2011

@Zonal_Marking

ah i've filed now, but cheers philippe...

9:44AM Tue, November 29 2011

@Zonal_Marking

ah yeah i remember that - good point. Nice to hear you on Football Weekly the other week by the way!

9:45AM Tue, November 29 2011

@er_pino

@Zonal_Marking This sounds a lot like Phil Jackson in the NBA: players are put in position to choose best option themselves.

9:48AM Tue, November 29 2011

@SianyMacalarny

I know it's too late, but RvP said similar as well. Wouldn't tell him what to do, said he'd know or something.

9:48AM Tue, November 29 2011

@MattWFC7 Staffordshire

I suppose asking Fabregas to find his own answers is a lot different to asking Bendnter to do the same.

9:50AM Tue, November 29 2011

@Zonal_Marking

Ah you're late but that was the one I was looking for (and eventually found), so top marks

9:50AM Tue, November 29 2011

@Zonal_Marking

quite. in fact that's what i was writing about - works for some, for others (walcott) it takes time

9:51AM Tue, November 29 2011

@SianyMacalarny

Well at least you got it done!

9:56AM Tue, November 29 2011

@DarthNeel NJ all day

try this article for a quote about Wenger: http://t.co/TJj9VNua

9:58AM Tue, November 29 2011

@LeanderESPN New York

Producer Ben lets me play every now and then. 7-minute thing was a long time ago, he might have changed his mind.

9:59AM Tue, November 29 2011

@irishoutsider

flip through "The Italian Job" ? I think Wenger has a few similar quotes in there.

10:06AM Tue, November 29 2011

@FFVTechDir Melbourne

"Sometimes you can teach a player what he is doing wrong without actually telling him or him actually knowing he is wrong"
