Shola [/thread]

Not that I like the bloke but how did Gullit fuck up at Chelsea exactly? One of the reasons he got the NUFC job was because he did so well at Chelsea.

The difference being a good manager came in after Allardyce who got the best out of those players, Souness was followed by Glenn Roeder who didn't get the best out of anyone. Who's to say how the likes of Parker, Solano, Luque etc would have done for us under Keegan's management? That team finished 7th under Roeder. He was an improvement over Souness. How much of that was down to Roeder though? In hindsight (with the whole season we had with him after) that late run might have been mostly the Souey weight off everyone's shoulders.

He really is a British bulldog which is why I love to watch him play. A no nonsense approach yet a very skillful and tidy one.

Souness. Although I hate Dalglish too... Souey's reign was just ridiculous. The saga just got more and more pathetic. Ending with the last month of us having to listen to his post match comments not being about the game but about how his family is important to him and comes first... Have respect for all the others the others. Ok maybe not that much for Allardyce, but certainly for Gullit.

Bit of romanticised view, which he's entitled to. But he's certainly taken on another dimension since going to ManU. Might be a step under the Messis or Kakas but he's still world class already.

As if Arsenal players had integrity and were the kind to keep their word anyway...

Grant's done really well. Come in under very difficult circumstances and just gone on with the job and they've been getting a lot of results since he took over. The man deserves a lot of credit. But aye, hopefully this Chelski era will topple soon.

Had never heard that twist on the old tale before!

Batty was class in his better years for us. Just a ball chasing, one touch passing, simple and efficient player.

Ugh... Alan Smith gives a 110%, the problem is..when your shit, YOUR SHIT.. Enough about my shit. The thing about Shola is that he talked a good game, and said he intends to give his all, but once out there, he's a lazy git.

Ugh...

that's a given though if you want to play for Arsenal.

He's a mental cunt. Yes.

That was pretty typical. Once his team are back in the lead he does his pointless tricks. He is the king of petty.

... wish it was next week already.

Good point... probably was.

Get in the Greavster!! \o/

Bit harsh on him, very good save from Lehmann to be fair. Can see United winning this tbh, they're bound to have a good patch at some point and I'm not sure Arsenal can keep them out under any pressure. How good would Hleb be if he posed even the slightest of goal threat btw? Shields the ball so well and has to be one of the best dribblers in the game, along with being a very intelligent reader of the game. But I doubt he's even in double figures for goals in his entire Arsenal career, having been there almost 3 years at this point and playing quite the advanced role most of the time. Fuk sake man. Did you think he was talking about Arsenal United?

Good. Lemon is an absolute twat as well. But aye, Ronaldo has not done much in this big game again.

Same old Arsenal, always cheating ey? Hopefully ManU will get back into this.

yeah, takes a real hard man to stamp on someone when their on the ground. Being in the army i see tough guys but never any that would square up to Alan 'did you see what he did to me referee' Shearer You never have a single good word for Alan. Always putting him down in every way you can. PS: They're

That was class. Exactly. Will always have time for Keane thanks to moment. Vieira is one of the biggest hypocrites in the game. Almost as big a hypocrite as Keane Maybe, but that quote "If you love Senegal so much why don't you play for them?" is so great

Shearer with a headband.
