Tbf, he doesn't have any ammo.

He's talking some sense though :shrug:

Basically saying what happened last night masks the problems we have.

That said, I don't think there are too many gooners who think Henry is the solution to our problems. It is just nice to have him back, and a great moment last night.

We all know we need to spend some dosh.

I hear what you saying, and sometimes he does talk sense, but he does not need a reason to tear into teams most times, he just does maybe for ratings lol.

like you say we know we need to spend the cash and i believe Wenger will i really do, even though people will say look at the last 6 years, but i thing we will do the best to get the players we need.

The quality was of such a high standard, it's near on impossible to replicate it.

We should be adding a bit more quality, and Wenger should be more ruthless with the underperforming players, but it's easier said than done.

Nobody is saying that we haven't made mistakes, and by our own standards, we should be doing better than we have, but harking back to a one in a million team is just stupid.

Thing is there's teams out there who play much better, imaginative football City and Spurs being two.....these days we're really nothing special, Henry just made me realise how ordinary we are we really don't have too many stand out players.

Wenger's eye for talent seems to have gone, I'd say when he first arrived he signed the right players and with the hunger to succeed and quality they did all of the rest for him, a bit like Henry the other night....he's a good manager for sure, but it's become very clear in the last 6 years he's not as good as many believed, he's got far too many flaws to be.

Just shows quality is worth paying a bit more for, buying these cheaper players generally doesn't work too well.

Hmmm. Not going into a debate about Wenger, as none of us know the full story, I'm sure. There are certainly things he has gotten wrong, but he has also gotten things right over the last 6 years.

It's a different world mate. In so many ways to when Wenger arrived.

You say City, but I don't think they're that good. And the players that are top draw cost one hell of a lot of money. 250mil they've spent in two years....and nothing is assured at this point in the season. They're out of the CL and the FA Cup.....and i really don't see anything, anywhere near what we were in our prime. Hell, I'd back Utd to win it again on pure desire alone.

Like I said, there are things wrong, and Wenger is definitely to blame for some of them. But we can't look back and demand the same, because the landscape has changed dramatically. We should be making the best of what we do have, and hopefully we can (if the desire that Utd have is anything to go by, and the shit they have in their squad, we can surely do the same)....I won't hold my breath, because I think there are too many other forces at work both internally and externally....but I think you're looking for something which is unatainable in this day and age.

does not mean you should go too overboard though does it, if that was the case we'd have ended up with shite like cahill paying over the odds.

This is the thing, heard so many cunts today attempt to WUM with stuff like "oh it was only Leeds", "papers over the cracks" etc.

Well, who the hell is saying otherwise? Doesn't matter who last night was against, Spurs, Leeds, who cares, it was about Henry and Henry only, nothing else.

Some people just need to have a day off.
