Wenger just doesn't like referees (But then again, who does?)

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has been pretty good recently when it comes to moaning but he was back to his best after last night's draw at Dynamo Kiev.

Wenger was furious at the lack of protection afforded to Theo Walcott.

"The referee should have sent off the left-back three times at least because he destroyed Walcott."

Wenger also moaned about the extra minutes. It seems that he and Sir Alex Ferguson have real problems with understanding the system.

"I wanted to understand how we had only three minutes of injury time, and then only played one minute. Every referee looks to have a different computer to calculate the injury time and still I do not know and really understand how it works. It looks like it is through the inspiration of the referee and he could not explain it. He just said it was enough."

In relation to the game, Wenger was reasonably pleased with a point although he felt they should have three.

On the back of a four game unbeaten run he now takes his side to the one place he hates to go. Bolton will not be going easy on them at the weekend and it is a real chance for Arsenal to show that they have what it takes.
