Graeme Souness isn’t a fan of Arsene Wenger.
The fiery Scot has caused uproar on social media with his latest appearance on the UP Front podcast with Simon Jordan and Troy Deeney.
In the clip he bizarrely claims that the legendary manager was not a ‘football man’ and that his success was all down to just luck and timing.

He said: “I’ve been on the bench listening to what he’s telling his players to do. I’ve been working for Sky in games where he’s made very strange decisions. My take on him was he got very, very lucky at a time when French football produced its greatest ever group of players.”
“Inherited the best back five in world football and a 22-year-old [Dennis] Bergkamp. I think Wrighty [Ian Wright], there was still life in him. And then he had 10 years where he won a couple of FA Cups, because that cycle had been and gone. I’ve never spoke to him about football.
“He would never come into my office after a game, the only manager that never did. I’d go to his office after a game, he would never be there to talk football. I don’t know if he’s a football man or not. I never spoke football with him.”

Football fans seemed to disagree with his bold take.
One said: ‘Absolute poppycock from Sourness.’
Another added: ‘Arsene Wenger? The only manager to never lose a single game in a season? Souness sounds bitter.’
A third commented: ‘Honestly, one of the worst takes I’ve ever heard in football.
A fourth summed it all up: ‘Souness talking for a full minute about how Arsene Wenger wasn’t a “Football Man” and was one of the luckiest Managers of all-time. One of the GREATEST Managers in Football history berated by one of the WORST.’
