How many red cards have Arsenal got now under Wenger? 55-60 odd?
|
Well, he's been there a few years and more than a few games. Being a Spurs fan, you'll be used to changing managers rather more often than us. Also, you won't be used to having European games. Or cup runs, for that matter. The number of red cards is best seen in context (unmentioned by the journos when it gets dragged up again) when you're looking at a decade of football and over 500 games in charge. Check the Fair Play league for the last two seasons some time.

Proud of Sol? Not really. His best is behind him now,

His best has come in an Arsenal shirt, of course, where he got his hands on some meaningful silverware. If we going to have a tit-for-tat of derby warfare, I see your Sol elbow and raise you any number of incidents of spiteful Teddy Sheringscum needling violence plus Tim Sherwood kicking Vieira up the groin a few years ago, which was followed by spurs scoring a goal after we kicked the ball out so he could get treated. You've had some right thugs in lillywhite lately, so the injured amour propre doesn't really wash.

you can only sign with a club when your under 16 if you live less than 2 hours away

These rules are pretty silly, because they're so easy to circumvent for big clubs - just move the whole family over. The whole concept of a 'local' player is a bit daft in itself anyway - is Fabrice Muamba (arrived 1999 as an asylum seeker from the Congo, signed for Arsenal as a 16 year old) more or less 'local' than Sol Campbell (from Newham), who came through the youth system at another club and didn't sign until he was 26? There are plenty of other examples.
