Wenger is the most overrated manager in Premier League history.
Here's why;
– Arsenal are a big club, and he only won 3 Premier League Titles in 22 years.
– Wenger only reached ONE Champions League Final despite having 22 attempts.
– Wenger only won the Premier League whilst it was a 2 horse race 98, 02, 04. As soon as Chelsea came along, then Man City, he won 0 Premier League Titles.
– He was apparently famous for finding unknown talent for cheap, which he did with Henry, Anelka etc. Yet as soon as the stadium was built, Wenger FAILED to repeat this, and the stadium was blamed for him not winning the Premier League. Why couldn't Wenged find the next Henry, Viera etc during the stadium building years? Oh, yes, he couldn't handle a Title race that was more than 2 horses.
– Wenger actually went 9 whole years with ZERO trophies.
– Big clubs are measured on winning two things. Domestic League Title and Champions League. Nothing else.
So, yes it was good for Wenger to win a few FA Cups, that isn't the ultimate aim of a big club and a so called world class manager.
– Apparently Wenger invented fitness, diet and nutrition. Big Sam was already using sports science and nutrition in the 90s, whilst he was in the lower leagues.
– 1971 – 1995 was 24 years BEFORE Wenger.
Arsenal won 3 League Title and 0 Champions League Titles.
1996 – 2018 was 22 years (almost an identical time frame).
Wenger years.
Arsenal won 3 Premier League Titles and 0 Champions League Titles.
Did Wenger really improve Arsenal? Or did he just win what the club had already been used to wining in an almost identical timeframe.
Yes, I know.
The Truth Hurts.
Wheelo was an operator
Ryan shawcross another prick who done Ramsey
Stoke City Legend ❤
Miserable git. Nearly ruined football.
Ashley young vibes with the spit
Great manager. Did more on a shoestring budget that a lot of others who spent big.
Would love to see him manage Wales. Does wonders with limited resources.
Second time he’s lied about the Vieira/Lehmann story. They left a long time before that game so they were never there. Wipe your gob you little weirdo
The game Arsenal lost to Stoke in the FA Cup 3-1 Delap did play, so Tony's memory is obviously failing him. It was the 2010 FA Cup Fourth Round.
Love that Tony Pulis…pure class!!!!!!!!!
Did Tony make you take off your shoes 😂😂😂😂
Tom interjects at 2 mins into the main podcast. What a question 👏🏻
Why did Tony lie?
Delap not only played that match but Stoke scored from one of his long throws in the second minute.
Im so glad stoke are where they are right now. Managers like TP are relics. Stoke city fans booing Aaron Ramsey as he was being stretchered off with a horrific injury caused by one of their orcs is the most disgusting things ive witnessed at a football match.
Always wondered why Rory Delap was allowed to dry the ball with a towel I assumed that would be against the laws of the game
Wenger is synonymous with Stoke supporters?
4:42 Ewwwwwww!
Liar.. you condone these lies.
I am pretty sure I saw delap at Southampton under Strachan using the rocket launch throw tactic many times before his Stoke days. Was a great servant to the saints.
In that match where Myhill put the ball out for a corner Windass went and did his warm-up just by where Delap was going to launch a long throw. Windass got booked for it😂
it gave Wenger nightmares for years because everyone started doing it to them 😂
What i'd give see Pulis back At Soke, LEGEND !!!!
4:47 that's gonna leave marks
Stoke's throw ins are a part of Premiership legend. Was of course aided by the height and physicality of the squad: Kenwyne Jones, Robert Huth, Ryan Shawcross and later Peter Crouch – as a goalkeeper, you knew you bloody earned your pay playing Stoke that week
Hey Tone, a manager doesn't wear sliders
From memory, I think Rory Delap was one of those whose throw in was (ridiculously HUGE!!!) and yeah wasn't an incredible player by any stretch but that was one part of his game that stood out anyways
Stoke wanted a facy manager with a fancy playing and guess what, things went downhill….
TP was Stoke as we knew the club.
It’s: at a loss for words. Not: lost for words. Jesus. That doesn’t even mean anything.
Ask him why he lied about Ramsey after his player intentionally broke Ramsey’s leg? This guy is a scumbag.
The thing is, anyone can train themselves to do a delap throw in, start with a light ball work up to heavy ball, by the time you can throw the heavy ball far the actual match ball is like throwing a balloon… It's a learnable skill, not a random talent ✌🏻
Nice little story at the end but Delap DID play in that FA Cup tie against Arsenal……………

I couldn’t understand the obsession with Rory Delap’s long throw. He obviously had more to his game than that. Also, Steve Sims was doing this for Watford in the 80s. And I’m sure he wasn’t the only one.
Definition of narcism – Tony Pulis
Nasty piece of work! Sent players out to break legs!
Rory Delap was my nemesis as a kid 12/13 years old, he was left back and I were right winger.
I'm not lying by saying I usually got the better of him. I was very good as a kid and played for North East of England at one time Wembley Arena paper boy's 5 a side. Always used to make me smile throwing those bombs in to the box!! 😂
How the hell did no one at Stoke know Rory had a long throw-in? He was doing it for years at Saints before then 👀🤔
Vieira and Lehmann didn't play for Arsenal whilst Stoke were in the premier league?
You take your shoes off in my house 🏡 😂
Tony your wrong .. we scored off a throw in . Fa cup 3.1
Tony Pulis and Stoke were a really good side that gave everyone a game.
The ego on this guy who’s won ZERO. 🤣🤣🤣
Lol Tony Pulis say na Olorwayjana. It's Seyi Olofijana bro
Have you heard the Goldie Lookin' Chain song about Tony Pulis?
Bellingham's goal for England yesterday was "made in Stoke". Had Arsene had his way, England would be out of Euro24
At one point in 2014, Stoke had Rory Delap plus Ryan Shotton and Geoff Cameron. The latter two could throw the ball almost as far as Rory. We genuinely had 3 Quarterbacks and several teams got caught out by it.
