No comparison.

Nobody will remember who played. It's the score the will be remembered along with the fact the result coincides with Utd stepping up a level and us dropping even further down the order. The 6-1 was a fluke.

Doesn't seem that way. Looks like people gladly settle for average players and an average manager just to role the dice. What, if Coyle had the resources Wenger has? What resources? We made another profit on player sales, if Coyle was able to do similar at Botlon he would have. You dont have to be a rich club to pinch teenagers ftom spain.

Sorry, but were still 3-4 really top world class players away from winning the EPL with wenger or almost any other manager in the game. Those that think the only problem with the squad is the manager are deluded.


Also, cheers on the Davis/nolan correction.

Swansea mate. Arsenal were at home to swansea and you're here going on about this player and that player being out etc.

How far your club has fallen that you're talking about the players you had out. Arsenal FC should not need it's proper 1st 11 to beat the team that are clear favourites for the drop.

The fact that we're in threat of relegation this season, given that we are same club that almost won the league only 3/4 years ago is a damning indictment of the way Wenger has mismanaged this squad. Let's look at the team that took to the field when everyone was fit in 2007-2008, a season where we were looking like we could win a trophy:

===========Almunia==============

Sagna====Toure=====Gallas======Clichy=

Hleb=====Cesc=====Flamini=====Rosicky=

======Adebayor===RVP=============

7 of that starting lineup has now gone (you could include Almunia as well tbh), and not been replaced with sufficient quality. If Owen Coyle had the same resources available as Wenger, no way would he have shown such neglect in dismantling a squad and not bothering to rebuild properly.

are we at risk of doing a Leeds?

Yes.

But at least we'd beat United at Old Trafford.

No. Leeds spent money on players. No chance of us doing that.

Nah. They had money problems and could use that as an excuse.

We have a Wenger problem
