Letters has been going toe to toe with a few recently.........I often have to the Tour de France thread for coverCan't wait to see this thread in a few hours.
(Especally if LDG and Letters decide to indulge in another round of circular head-banging).
Ahhhh.
Lolerz.
Fuck that shit man. I won't be as bored this evening.
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
Wenger in January
Wenger in May"Ideally, it would be better if they were adapted to English football because if you need players now in January you cannot wait three months before they can play for you," Wenger said. "We have always people in mind and we check out. We look everywhere.
"It's difficult to find at this period of the season but overall I feel we have so many games that it's very important to focus on the next game. We still have solutions internally with [Ignasi] Miquel [the reserve-team captain], [Alex] Song, who can play centre-back and with Squillaci, who should come back very quickly. If we find somebody at the right level we will do it, if not we will continue like this."

Wenger in JuneHe said: "We conceded 21 goals from set plays and only 17 from open play, less than anybody else.
"We have been caught on set pieces and [for the first goal] Kenwyne Jones didn’t even need to jump. That is of course something we have to correct and we have to get some experience because I feel we are sometimes a bit naive.

He needs to shut his fucking mouth."In 2003 we were also the best away team, but didn't win. We kept going and in 2004 we were very strong.
"We conceded very few goals from open play, most of them were from set pieces in a way you don't want to concede goals.
"It's something that's easy to correct. We need to improve the size of our squad. We need a bigger variety in the height of our players. We need to be more capable of fighting against some characteristics than we have been this season."

The King Is Back.
Well. Thing is, you look at the headline and it sounds stupid. If you read it and see where he says that we're too weak from set pieces and they're working to fix it...well, that's hard to argue with him. His assertion that we're not weak defensively is debatable but if he means that our defensive players are basically good enough then I agree. They're not a good enough unit though, that is obvious.Letters has been going toe to toe with a few recently.........I often have to the Tour de France thread for cover
Whether we'll actually fix it...I dunno. I'm skeptical. But I'm pleased to hear him acknowledge the set piece issue 'cos that's driven us all mad. That isn't about our more attacking style, it's just plain bad organisation.
Clearest indication yet that he's not in the market for defensive re-enforcements. Nutter.
Lies, damn lies, statistics.
Goals per game conceded (all comps)
06-07 0.90
07-08 0.91
08-09 0.89
09-10 1.15
10-11 1.10
Not sure if this is significant but this coincides with our change to 4-3-3.
To outward appearances personnel is the major factor in our defence, but I can't remember who our main guys were for 08-09 and 09-10.
Was it Kolo-Gallas and Gallas-TommyV?
Also last season.
Goals per game conceded (all comps pre Carling debacle)
0.95
Goals per game conceded (all comps post Carling debacle)
1.53
This suggests something or other.
He is essentially saying that nothing is going to change. Which is pretty much what I expected at the end of the season.
If you don’t send this signature to ten people, you will become a Spurs fan.
Wenger in "we're not weak defensively" shocker
What's new, he's always failed to address the defensive side before, why change the habit of a lifetime?
You'd have to be crazy to believe this man knows what he's doing to be honest, after 6 years you'd think he might have learnt a few things, clearly not. If he looks of his rocker on the sidelines again this coming season he'll only have himself to blame.
Ah well, bring on next summer!
We're fucked
