oh dear covlad I am angry with you,
Arsenal vs Man U --- Set piece goal loses us 3 points. If that free kick and penalty had not been given we would have got +3 Man U -3 and we would have beaten chelsea and won the FA Cup
Champions League --- -penalty in the last 10 loses us the match
Im not whinging but im proving how capable arsenal are.....by the time the next season starts the boys will be raring to go and to prove they can do what they have the potential to do. We do need 1-2 decent signings and although not sure what is happening with Villa if we get him then we will be even stronger.
As Cov said correctly Wenger is a genius and if next year we win a trophy or two we will be the dominant force in English football with the potential in our squad.
However i think wenger slaps himself in the face as he always trys to buy players he finds to make him look good, why can the spend our cash on a superstar to add experiance rather than buying future players, if you always look to the future, there will never be a time to use it
Vela, Traore, Merida, Nordveit, Gibbs, Randall, Mannone, Simpson and Barazite will all be first team fringes next season and this just shows the future we have
anyone who says arsenal cannot keep up with Chelsea and Man U I beg to differ
Well to be really honest I was surprised as to how well Arsenal played for the majority of the season. But it is their lack in experience and squad depth that did cost them in the end.
Chelsea, United and even Liverpool have a much better backup to the starting eleven than Arsenal. So considering that I thought you guys were doing brilliantly to lead the table for so long.
But is when things dont quite your way that you need to count on your senior lads to show their experience and also have the ability to rotate your squad a bit to try and get past the bad patch as soon as possible. Wenger wasnt able to do that, and you just kept losing points.
I know Arsenal dont have as much transfer money as the other three, but the fact is in the end, if you want to keep your best players and buy the best players (in Arsenal's case thats players who are going to perform now) then you are going to have spend big.
Even United who used to once talk so proudly about their youth team players graduating to the first team and going on to win the league have had to change their policy and had to buy the likes of Ronaldo, Tevez, Hargreaves, Carrick, Ferdinand, Van Der Sar, Vidic and others to stay at the top.
And thats the case throughout Europe and its only Barcelona, to be honest, who are able to find quality and high impact players from their youth system like Messi, Bojan and Dos Santos, who are still crucial players in the first team.
