"When Arsene Wenger was going whole seasons unbeaten he was Le Proffeseur, now he's more like Basil Fawlty."We wonder how long it took him to come up with that one. A few Twitter-heads were very impressed with Jamie's witty remark though. https://twitter.com/BillyKilby/status/827850696590520320 https://twitter.com/unkleredrum/status/827850771244937217 https://twitter.com/AdamDriscoll92/status/827850973997580290 It's not the first time Wenger has been compared to a John Cleese character (Cleese played Basil Fawlty in Fawlty Towers) and it reminded us of a classic RTE panel argument from 2008. Speaking after Arsenal's defeat to Liverpool in the Champions League, Eamon Dunphy said an exasperated Wenger reminded him of Cleese in Monty Python and started laughing. Liam Brady didn't like the comparison and things got heated, watch the clip here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbsNn9qACOQ Clip via YouTube/rayfoleyshow Maybe Graeme Souness fed Redknapp the line... Surely he fondly remembers all his Montrose arguments.
