Match Reaction v Olympiacos

[Kano]

Zenit won the Uefa Cup that year with Arshavin playing a starring role, not sure what them not being world class has to do with his ability to perform. I don't get the logic, we're not a world class team either but he's pretty average for us.

His performances at Euro 2008 threw him into the spotlight, he was one of the players of the tournament, in fact probably the best player outside the Spanish squad. So I have no idea how you've come to the conclusion that Euro 2008 illustrated his poor work ethic.

Maybe it is harsh to blame Wenger fully, but I really don't believe this is the same guy we signed in Jan 2009. He was so explosive. Now he can barely do the basics right, consistently gives away the ball and we'll be lucky to see him take on and beat his man just once in a game.

entirely down to the player

if you are under performing in your job but on a great wage what do you do? sit around like a cunt collecting the dosh or man the fuck up and realise what you need to do? which means either moving somewhere else or shaping up

sure, footballers are pussies at the best of times but to mope around this long and let the blame lay elsewhere marks you out as a massive fanny
