Arsenal predicts Arsenal will finish second- The Other Teams' Thread - [R]

Bout the dumbest thing I've read. Your need at the position is undeniable, so is his quality.

 

seriously, one thing I have learned about United fans, is SAF really turned a lot of them into automatons unable to disagree with anything he said did or believed.

 

Hell, I'd side with Jose on a player matter until it's proven otherwise. Just because a player has the skill of Pogba, off-the-field issues could be a big issue. Balotelli is a class striker most of the time. That doesn't mean he has class.

 

Pogba was clearly a more talented player than those mentioned for us and should obviously been playing more, and SAF made some BS statements to the media about him when he left, which seemed very unnecessary, and quite frankly, words of a sore loser.

 

Don't really see how a Pogba/balotelli comparison is at all relevant.

 

Balotelli seems to go beyond simple training ground disagreements.

 

The Borg Collective.

 

I was just going to an extreme to show my point

If a player is unhappy, it can screw with the team, regardless of stature.

 

Found this gem on the Arse board.

In what is likely one of the greatest moments of randomness ever. Behold the title of the article below. Enjoy.

Ice...in a drink...what a novel idea to an ITALIAN. He's likely pissed he didn't think of it himself.

 

A whole lot of depression on the Arsenal board for a little while now , its great to watch.

 

To be fair to cr7, it's not entirely clear what Pogba will be upon maturation. At the moment all of the 30M evaluations are based on the expectation that he'll be the next Patrick Vieira. However, he's not there yet. I have my doubts that cr7 will be right, but it's not out of the realm of possibility. 3 years ago some might have said the same of Balotelli and Inter.

 

His quality is. He was consistently outplayed by both Morrison (who had too much off field baggage) and Petrucci (who couldn't stay fit for long enough) for the youth teams; and his lack of effort for a central mid was often telling. It would be foolish to reward him over the others in such a situation, and would mean that playing well for the reserves counts for nothing. This was an opinion which a lot of people had even well before Raiola started agitating for a move, and I am fairly certain I mentioned that on the Chelsea board back then as well.

As for not disagreeing with Fergie, I am sure nice and other regular visitors can easily vouch that I have been one of the more regular critics of his tactics and transfer policies since CQ left.

 

if only SAF had listened, he might have amounted to something in the game

 

Franco Baldini seems to be getting quite a bit of the credit as well. Its still just paper success though. I doubt any of us would be surprised to see Arsenal snipe Spurs for 4th by a point once again this season.
