Arsenal already inquire UEFA on the eve of the match and said they can pass msg thru 3rd party. But it reversed during the match that why Wenger fumed in second half and didn't do post match interview.
This is a freaking important match to get 30m pound in our lap and decide whether any real talent will come to our club this season, so, just shut up and stay behind the club whatever they do and behave like proper fan.
Next leg we got RVP and hopefully Jack, so we can score more. Positive people, positive.
Before the play-off, Arsenal had checked with UEFA that Wenger could send messages to the coaching staff via a third party and, as a result, first-team coach Boro Primorac passed instructions from Wenger to assistant manager Pat Rice on the touchline throughout the first period.
However, UEFA warned Wenger at half-time he was contravening the rules and as a result he withdrew from communication, although Primorac appeared to continue to make phone-calls, which may prompt the governing body to investigate whether Wenger attempted to bend the rules.
After the match, the Gunners boss felt that as he had not been involved in proceedings in the usual way he would not attend the post-match press conference, which in itself could lead to a fine or another ban.
