Spurs squad built for around £80 million. Arsenal's squad built for around £30 million. Moved to new Stadium and maintained up four position. Wenger is not going to be sacked.

I think get rid of Fabianski... what a muppet is he? why oh why do we play him think Manone is way better then him.
What we need to replace is deffo a new top class keeper, and 2 new defenders everything else we are good enough in, or perhaps another striker for when van Persie is out and why didnt Wenger play him?

Re: Football : Season 2009/2010
 

I was aghast at the decision not to play him considering how much better Arsenal looked against Spurs with his introduction. It's worth bearing in mind that a large amount of first team players, and their back-ups were out of the game. Wenger probably didn't want to risk Van Persie considering the risk he took with Gallas and Fabagas against Barcelona which ended their seasons.

Arsenal don't need as many players as I think people make out, for a start it's unlikely will we have so many players out at once again like we did for the run in but despite that crisis we still had a strong midfield. So I don't think we need any more depth there, especially with Ramsay and Wilshire being back next season.

In Attack we have Persie and Bendtner, and probably Chamakh soon.

It's defence where we need to buy players. A new defender especially if Gallas goes AND a new defender to cover for when any of the current lot are gone. Obviously a new keeper.

I think this result highlights the difference of when teams have something to play for and when they don`t. Any team challenging for whatever that may be would much rather be playing a mid table safe team than one that could still end up in trouble (or just needs points to confirm safety)

Well done to Wigan, what a rubbish weekend to be a City fan :(

Still think Utd where stuffy!!!!!!

Re: Football : Season 2009/2010
 

the 2 new defenders is mainly to replace the grannies of the team ie Campbell and Sylvestre and to provide cover for when the others are injured. but I agree with what you are saying Damien, the team is big enough in itself. oh tbh wouldnt mind to get rid of Bendtner either now we have (hopefully) Chamakh coming in.

Re: Football : Season 2009/2010
 

Well, being a City fan, you would think that ;) :D

Play to the final whistle, you would have thought that they would have learnt that by now ;)

We didn't play to our best, but it was still more than City.

Re: Football : Season 2009/2010
 

Oh. My. God.

Scholes you beauty!

And Chelsea and Arsenal lost.

*cries*

Pity whoever did this can't spell trophy.

Ayup, the United fans seem to have woken up, not been many posts lately (except to slag off Donkatov), wonder why? :p:

City fans are used to it. We go together like cow pats and flies :PP:

Re: Football : Season 2009/2010
 

Too true...City is the polite, Sunday name for you ;)
We've always been here ;)

Re: Football : Season 2009/2010
 

To be honest i think it was a poor derby match, neither keeper had much to do and both teams could have nicked a goal here or there. The result didn`t really matter as much to us (or so we thought) as most thought Chelsea would beat Tottenham. Taking the positives out of it, if Utd had lost or drawn maybe they wouldn`t have had the incentive to beat spurs when they play them soon, now they now it`s a must win game which is a plus for us.
It`s like when Liverpool host Chelsea, can you see the Liverpool players giving it 100% to win the match?
I can`t, i reckon most will just put enough in as to make it not obvious but so that Chelsea win. For City it now all comes down to the home game against spurs, which i have a bad feeling we`ll lose :rolleyes:

Well done Inter, great result.

Looked like Ribery wanted to break his ankle!?

And that red card for Lyon was poor. Not liking Munich right now.

Re: Football : Season 2009/2010
 

Fully agree with you Damien, i thought on the night the referee was top notch apart from that one decision (possibly the no1 ref around). Not sure if it influenced the game much though, Bayern looked like they would score at some point but Lyon where absolutely shocking even when it was 11v10.
United must be more gutted that they wen`t out to Bayern, as it looks like a final spot is a formality.
As the commentators said there are quite a few better teams than Lyon allready knocked out.

Ribery=£40-50 million..............Your havin a laugh :p:

Wigan might be looking for someone else to drive their team bus...
