Guest toonlass Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 I'm really happy for Birmingham and their fans. Sod European places for everyone else, I just love when the under-dog beat one of the big clubs to win a trophy. Arsenal went in as favourites, and probably thought they just had to turn up. To see their fans crying on the telly is brilliant! The bitterness and jealousy in this thread is unbelievable man! You said you'd prefer another team winning a trophy to the team you supposedly support having a decent chance of making it into European competition. You really have no place criticising anyone. Do you really think with the team we have we could compete in Europe next year? Be serious man! Of course not. There is something called a transfer window though, and with European competition all of a sudden we look a lot more attractive to potential players. I don't think we'll significantly improve the depth in our team in the transfer window. Europe next season would be far too soon for us. Sorry for being sensible like.

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 I wonder if Larsson will sign a new contract with Birmingham now they are in Europe next season? I guess he'll at least wait to see if they are still going to be in the Premiership before deciding. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest kingdawson Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 If Arsenal were to sack Wenger, does anybody think whoever they brought in would do any better with their budget? I'd argue no. but they do have a decent amount of cash to spend. It's Wenger that decides not to spend it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the kind of money to go out and buy a top class goalkeeper or defender. Heck they were priced out of a move for Jagielka ffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 The Rooney thing seems to be a bit of a grey area. Obviously the ref saw that there was a foul, but I don't think he saw it properly, because he obviously missed the force and intent of the elbow throw. Can they still punish him? Probably. Will they? Probably not, sadly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wenger has said himself he has the funds to buy the players he wants but he has faith in his team. Hell even the board put out a statement a few months back stating they're willing to back Wenger in any signing he wants to bring in. It's no one but Wenger's fault why they haven't got a decent cb OR gk. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Wenger is just the most important cog in the whole Arsenal machine, and they have a clear philosophy about building success sustainably and creating great players rather than buying them. There's an excellent interview with the chief exec, Ivan Gazidis on the BBC website right now. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/a/arsenal/9408793.stm Don't know how anyone can argue with or criticise that. So they happen not to have won a trophy in a while, they're building a sustainable top football club for a generation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking him out and putting in a Mourinho/Ancelotti/insert top class manager in his place and the whole thing falls like a pack of cards. He's naive in the transfer market but he's the best they can get. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
