    I hope Wenger is asking the same question.

    Just amazing. Physic, Rosicky should tell Wenger the right tactics and line up since he knows.

    On a related note, Definitely WORTH READING! courtesy of

    " 10 years ago we suffered a similar faith at Old Trafford.. It was 25/02/2001. And we lost 6-1. Now we all could say that the players who were out on the pitch are worthless after such a defeat. We could say that we must get rid of them. But if we would have done this in2001 we would have lost a few legendary players. Because the starting line up in that game were:

    Goalkeeper: David Seaman

    Defenders: Oleg Luzhny, Ashley Cole, Gilles Grimandi, Igors Stepanovs

    Midfielders: Robert Pires, Patrick Vieira, Ray Parlour, Silvinho

    Strikers: Sylvain Wiltord, Thierry Henry
    Ljunberg came in as a sub. Most of these guys became "The Invincibles"

    Sometimes history repeats itself. As it did today with our defeat which brought us the painful memory back of that defeat 10 years ago. Well after that defeat we only became better. And had one of the best spells in our history even with going a whole season unbeaten.

    So if you want to throw all and everyone away…just as could have happened 10 years ago.. we maybe would never have had a title each year and an invincible season.

    So just like the away supporters who backed the team I will support the team. Yes it is painful. But nobody promised me that there would be no pain when supporting Arsenal. Nobody said that this will not happen to us. Defeat is part of life. And what is important is that we try to learn from our defeat.

    Who knows maybe the defeat at Old Trafford 10 years ago was a blessing in disguise. Maybe the pain on that day inspired the core of the invincible to their greatness later on. So what looks terrible today might just be the start of a new bright tomorrow for our club and for many of the players that were on the field today. Sometimes shit happens. Sometimes you step in to the shit. It’s painful and embarrassing. But the only thing you can do is clean up your shoe and get on with life.

    Come on you Gunners. "

    I could not have said it better.

    Not Luzhny or Stepanovs, those guys are still famous at the club for their defensive failures.

    Who said white men can't jump?

    Wow, that is spectacular. At least we don't have to worry about our keeper position. He really is proving to be the keeper we have been looking for.

    The problem with Wenger is that he thinks all of the youth players will step up and that's a very risky gamble.
