What is wrong with what he said?

 

Nothing but most refuse to accept it as possible. The first team we had could have got us towards the top places last season, maybe 5th or 6th.If Boruc,Shaw,Fonte,Lovren,Clyne,Schneiderlin,Davis/Cork,Wanyama,Lallana,Lambert,Jrod had played every game we wouldn't have been far off, even closer with some solid contributions from Ossie and Gaston. It wasn't possible so we had to play garbage, KD,Gazzaniga,Fox,Gallagher. If we'd been able to keep the same base side this season and added the few missing links then our chances weren't too dusty at all. Didn't happen and now we'll have to see where we land.

Why not add Shearer and Channon for that matter ? ( At least they played when it was actually called the European Cup ).

 

Because they retired years ago. We're talking about players we've sold who are still playing, i.e. the team we could have had if nobody had left.

however Me and my buddies at Liverpool and Man U got together and rinsed them just to put them back in their place. No more room at the top table.

Imagine if someone else had posted something like this - MLG would be in their face straight away pointing out exactly what we've just pointed out to him. :D

 

Come on MLG, front up... you ****ed your pants over something that was actually a compliment/joke. ;)

MLG's only smarting that Wenger didn't mention that we do it with a 70,000 superdome.

Again, he and the press fail to address why we haven't been able to keep them all. They can sit in their ivory towers and think that all is well in football, or rather they can ignore it, but for the rest of us, we have to face reality. I wonder what he would say to the introduction of a Europe/world wide wage cap of £10,000 a week?

All thru the World Cup, working as a commentator, Wenger bigged up Saint and our player on many occasions. He was sincere in what he said and is a very shrewd pundit who often knows what he's talking about.

He does sort of have a point though.

 

Replace Steve Davis with Gareth Bale and you would add another 15 goals to thee side, plus more assists. Walcott for Osvaldo and Ox on the bench.

 

Boruc

 

Clyne Fonte Lovren Shaw

Schniederlin Wanyama

Bale Llallana Rodriguez

Lambert

 

Subs

Davies, Chambers, Cork, Ox , Walcott, Davis

 

Plus JWP, Yoshida Ramirez

 

Would have been good enough to finish above Spurs and Manu last year, perhaps even higher.

just not playing Jos,KD and Gazzaniga would probably have been enough.

No matter how good your starting XI is the real crux between winning and losing comes down to who you have in reserve because your starters aren't all going to play 38 PL matches in a season
