Wenger on Jesus?

Its been a topic of hot debate ever since Saturdays game finished – was it a stamp or an accident?

I am pretty convinced having seen all the replays that it definitely was a deliberate stamp on Van Persie, but obviously the only person who really knows is Adebayor. It all ended pretty badly anyway, not just for Van Persie but for Arsenal much to my disappointment being an avid Gooner!

Anyway I just saw a good quote on BBC Sports ‘Quotes of the Week’ page, this from Arsene Wenger after the incident and the match:

“If somebody stamps on your head in that way, you wouldn’t say, ‘thank you very much’ and turn the other cheek. Only Jesus Christ did that.”

It’s quite funny how someone could be trying to think up a way in to talk about the Gospel with someone for a long time and then Wenger, who to my knowledge is not a Christian, comes out with a great one like that! I wonder if Wenger knows why Jesus did turn the other cheek? If not I really hope someone tells him, imagine how great it would be if the Arsenal manager came to know why Jesus turned the other cheek!
