    He isn't a bumbling idiot, but he needs to stfu about other clubs when we are the ones selling our best talent to them in order to fund whatever it is that gets done with the proceeds.

    No other team has complained more vociferously about City. Yet half the nucleus of our first team is now on their bench.

    I just refuse to believe that Wenger, whatever his rhetoric, can't see our weaknesses. The idea that a man of his ability can't see what every fan and pundit can is ludicrous. So what's going on?

    I think Wenger has too much faith in his players to show resilience when up against the odds. I think it's part of his development plan. To show faith in players and give them a chance to perform. But when we're dealing with fatigue, injuries and players lacking confidence, he has to do something about it and place winning over development. For example, I can understand why he constantly plays Walcott down the right and on his weaker side. It was the same for Jack. I couldn't understand why he had him playing in a deep defensive position when he'd best suited playing further up. When you listen to his comments and interviews about that sort of thing, he says he wants them to develop their weak areas and not do the easy things that come as second nature to them. It's great development and really good philosophy and I like to hear his thoughts and that sort of thing, but it also drives me nuts that we sacrifice so much for it.

    Yeah, I said it bitch! Do something.

    It's a combination of both.

    Harsh on PnG, but I'll go with it.
    It's better to burn out, than to fade away.

    Back on topic - how ironic that in today's Forbes list, we are the 10th most valuable sports team in the world!

    1. Manchester United (football) - $2.23 billion

    2. Real Madrid (football) - $1.88 billion

    3. New York Yankees (MLB) - $1.85 billion

    3. Dallas Cowboys (NFL) - $1.85 billion

    5. Washington Redskins (NFL) - $1.56 billion

    6. Los Angeles Dodgers (MLB) - $1.40 billion

    6. New England Patriots (NFL) - $1.40 billion

    8. Barcelona (football) - $1.31 billion

    9. New York Giants (NFL) - $1.30 billion

    10. Arsenal (football) - $1.29 billion
