Wenger: "The fire is always ready but now it looks as though you are burned on the village green quicker than ever before.

"Rafa Benitez has done remarkably well at Liverpool and what is happening there is not down to sport or to results. It is down to internal differences.

"I am fortunate I have had the freedom and the support of my board to work as I want ever since I arrived in England. My directors understand you do not get success without that backing.

"But you need experience to realise that and I am not sure that everyone who has just bought their way into the game can appreciate that."
 
"What is strange is that a manager can pay the price for over-achieving.

"It cannot be right that the guy has put the club in a position where they never dreamed of being and, 14 games later, he is sacked.

"We are always in a fragile position because you are quickly exposed when you don't have good results.

"But if you analyse the modern game, it seems to be more and more about politics now."
