Well, if anyone knows about being bitten in the ass by selling marquee players to direct opponents I guess it'd be Wenger.

Anytime something happens to work against Arsenal, Wenger whines, us fans are used to it (Wenger supporters and otherwise). Even when we were winning trophies, it was the same.

While I am not exactly a Wenger admirer, I must say that this situation is a bit ridiculous, even by his standards. Chelsea sold him for what they believe to be the most money, and fair value, which happened to be a rival. If Mata was so good that he would instantly change the entire title race, Chelsea would be playing him.

That said, while I don't think this was some scheme by Chelsea, this could come back to bite them in a couple years.
