Football Talk 2005-2006 (Soccer)

**Mr. Monday Morning** · 10-15-2005, 06:03 AM

Bolton boss Sam Allardyce has accused Arsenal counterpart Arsene Wenger of "conning everybody" into believing the Gunners always play attacking football.

Allardyce claims Wenger is more shrewd in how he portrays his team than Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho and that, just like other teams, the north London club are occasionally forced to play more defensively.

He told the Daily Mirror: "Arsene is very good at how he portrays his team's performances. He is conning everybody. Arsenal are more attractive in terms of how everyone likes to see football played but perhaps Arsene does a better job media-wise than Jose."

He added: "The perception is that Arsenal always play attacking football and Wenger is very good at putting that over to people but it's not always true."

He added in The Sun: "When they beat Manchester United in the FA Cup final they didn't win playing attacking football, they did it with 4-5-1 and played for penalties."
