Zubar's warning for Arsenal boss

Arsenal fan Ronald Zubar believes Arsene Wenger could risk his popularity with his supporters if he keeps criticising others.

Wenger's Gunners host Wolves following his latest attack on another Midlands club when he blasted the state of the St Andrew's pitch after the 1-1 draw against Birmingham.

Before that he attacked Stoke's Ryan Shawcross for the tackle that broke Aaron Ramsey's leg as "horrendous" and "unacceptable".

The Arsenal boss also claimed opposition teams 'targeted' his side to stop their stylish football after previously calling for a lifetime ban on then Birmingham defender Martin Taylor for the challenge that broke Eduardo's leg in 2008, a statement he later retracted.

Wolves defender Zubar said: "He has a lot to say after matches – maybe after tomorrow's game he will be saying 'Wolves players had the game of their lives'!

"It's football. If a player gets his leg broken, it's bad, but that tackle at Stoke that broke Aaron Ramsey's leg was accidental, you could tell the way the lad looked when it happened.

"I think sometimes Wenger exaggerates a little bit.

"I can't understand when a manager says something like that.

"Talking about the pitch like he did with Birmingham sounds like excuses because in things like that, it was the same when we played there and for every team who plays there.

"It's a problem for Wenger and Arsenal, not my problem.

"My job is to stop the winger or striker crossing or scoring goals, whether it be Arshavin, Berbatov or whoever."

Like many French players and fans, Zubar is a big admirer of Arsenal and Wenger.

"In France he is very popular and everyone likes him for the job he's done at Arsenal," said the former Marseille defender.

"Everyone in France likes Arsenal for the success he's brought there with French players – me as well, because I'm an Arsenal fan," he said.

"But I want to beat Arsenal tomorrow."

Wolves' only fresh casualty for tomorrow is striker Sylvan Ebanks-Blake, who is out after being laid low by a virus all week.
