hasnt wenger got enough problems!

Not really, he wins fuck all & he's still the highest paid manager. Amazing how arsenals wage budget stretches there, eh?

in all fairness nearly every team in the prem league wins fuck all of any note.

the league cup gets shared around granted.

At best, he's an overpaid youth development officer.

did he ever successfully rebuild after the invincibles?

viera, pires, henry, that long haired french bloke, overmars etc?

Real, atletico. Several others.

Petit & overmars weren't in the invincibles.

& he has proved that team was a fluke, the exception rather than the rule.

The reason why? It was full of strong, experienced leaders. Not fragile Nancy boys.

petit that was him, the robbie savage lookalike!

That's a bit harsh on petit. Good player him. Scored in a world cup final.

Savage couldn't do that on the xbox.

wengers decline with arsenal seems to have been mirrored by the french team over the same period.

i read elsewhere that barca are complaining that wenger has been kidnapping their youth players over a period of years hence the fabregas negotiations are so tense.

They never forgave him for stealing cesc in the first place.

yes, he was the first name on the list of youths tempted away.

Bruce in!

Great point esp after the 1st half battering.

Post by **Dartfrog** » Mon Aug 15, 2011 10:16 am

Great goal they scored, superb technique.

Post by **Furious Wolfie 180** » Mon Aug 15, 2011 10:27 am

Hopefully a few more goals from midfield will assist us this season.

If that chance has fell to Malbranque last season for example it would be in row Z.....

Dons off to a flyer this season
