Why isn't Joel Campbell being picked ahead of Sangogo?

A bit of thought never seems to come into it. Looking back over ten years ago, our success came about because Wenger assembled a team that was head and shoulders better than anyone else in the league. We then conspired to win about half the things we should have with that squad.

that is an interesting idea, is did Wenger underachieve with the team he had. it was just before all the money bags arrived. We had Campbell, Cole, Vieira, Pires, Bergkamp and Henry. 6 players who could get into any side. Some of the best players ever to play in the country. Yet couldn't make enough CL progress or retain a league title. I do believe that if that team played now, they would still win the league. You look back and they have everything power, pace, skill and goals from anywhere. We as fans were blessed and it will be generations til we see anything as good.

We most definitely underachieved in Europe and to say anything less would almost be a criticism of that lot of players.

Wenger's reluctance to knock his opponent out senseless when on top is probably why we didn't retain a title which we most definitely should have done.

And the only way you were going to retain a title when Ferguson was in the frame was by being absolutely relentlessly ruthless without letting up.

What is Wenger playing at?

differing shades of average. what difference will it really make?

add giroud who is only a couple of grades above that and the problem upfront continues. there is always a gap in wenger's teams in recent years to sustain any long term challenge for the two big trophies.

Wenger likes a challenge. That`s why when you look at every team we've had since 2006. He always had at least one player that handicaps the team and he plays them regardless. He`s either a masochist or a psychological terrorist.
