Ronaldo

7-1.

Yeah, like he knows they were both at Valencia.

Why are folk so keen to continue painting him as a bad defender. It's just complete and utter nonsense. He's a good defender and has been for a while.

I was convinced you were joking until watching the clip just now. Is he on the sauce or what?

What did Shearer say about Silva?

Top 5, my arse.

Given is good but not great. Massive improvement on that joker, though.

Christ almighty.

At least Arsene Wenger (and I hate myself for saying this) is trying to remould English football and prove that you don't need 6'3null thugs to win (even though he hasn't really proven it). The commentator said during the last Arsenal game something I agreed with: Would Jack Whilshire have been given the chance to develop if he wasn't at Arsenal? Would his size have been held against him? Arsenal the team might do better without Wenger, but Wenger's impact on the Premier League has been huge. Helped the influx of foreign stars to come in, which in turn helped change the pub culture that English players had towards a more healthy lifestyle. While he might not have won anything for a while, you can't deny he's helped sell the belief that the English Premier League is one of the best and most exciting leagues in the World through Arsenal's ventures in Europe. Sometimes I can't tell if you're being serious, or just bored sitting in your room and go out to wind people up with your short, 'insightful' replies. Sometimes I start to reply to your posts, then just go 'Why bother' and see a whole host of invisible suddenly appear! That's very interesting, and I'm sure you put a lot of thought and effort into your long post. It doesn't address my comments at all, though. Wenger is a stubborn and petty man and it's holding Arsenal back. He's being paid to deliver success, he isn't doing it.

Yeah, look at what they've achieved in the last 6 years, nowt. Arsenal can do better than Wenger.

He's a cheat, and people fall for it.

Rubbish.

Only Mourinho could have a team full of superstars struggling to score against Levante. Absolute wankstain with a horrible brand of football.

Forget world class. Mark Schwarzer would be a vast improvement.

Wenger's becoming an absolute parody.

Not a chance in hell.

Colo has looked strong in the air for a long time now.

Yes, because Campbell is a more experienced defender. How on earth is that relevant in this thread?

Shola should be the nowhere near the starting Xl. He's a step ahead of the likes of Lovenkrands, but that doesn't make him worthy of a place in the first Xl. It's mental that people want to change a team that won at Everton, based on a daft League Cup tie.

I don't think the lad's ready. He does the easy things well, looks the part and seems to communicate with his defenders. But he's just so raw, man. I'd personally partner Colo with Campbell on sun. His experience in front of a keeper severely lacking in judgement could just about see us through it.

Followed the last 15 on my blackberry on a bus from New York to New Jersey. The updates were great, lads! You're the best at what you do.

You should be banned for such rubbish.

Don't want any starters from saturday playing tonight.

He can't even strike a football properly. He's a good option from the bench but as a starter he just isn't the answer.

Bless him.
