Bentley: Wenger isn't anti-British
Controversial Tottenham midfielder David Bentley prepares to face Arsene Wenger on Wednesday insisting the Arsenal manager is not anti-British.
Wenger has been criticised for using too many foreign players and squeezing young British talent out of the Gunners.
But former Gunner Bentley, who was dropped from the Spurs squad against Udinese in the UEFA Cup on Thursday after his outspoken assessment of Spurs' campaign, says he had no problem with Wenger.
Bentley, describing his time at Arsenal before joining Blackburn Rovers on a permanent deal in 2006, said: "I didn't like it that much.
"The environment and the banter weren't that enjoyable. It was quite different down there.
"I have to say the manager (Arsene Wenger) was always good to me and I never felt any anti-British vibe as people have suggested about him."
