When Nikolas Bendtner scored the last second equalizer against Aston Villa on Saturday, his strike partner was noticeably absent in the celebrations that kept Arsenal in the Premiership drivers seat. Since the argument and subsequent headbutt from Emmanuel Adebayor in the game against Arsenal, Arsene Wenger has maintained that both players get on as friends and there’s no problem between the two.

Trust me on this one, they hate each other. If I had to count how many teammates I’ve had that truly hate another player on past teams, I’d run out of breath.

Wenger admits as much when making the comment, “For me, the emotional sympathy is not a big importance for the big players. They are winners and they respect the game so much it goes above liking or disliking.”
