It seems like every other day I see a new article with a player who is either about to play or recently lost to Arsenal singing their praises. I've decided to start a thread with links to these articles for everyone to enjoy and so that I can compile a list of jealous competitors. Feel free to add anything you find! To start we have Guy Roux and Khalilou Fadiga of Auxere: http://www.planetfootball.com/artic...8&title=Roux+and+Fadiga+praise+Arsenal&clid=3 Oliver Dacourt after the Leeds romping: http://www.planetfootball.com/artic...d=8&title=Dacourt:+Arsenal+are+best+in+Europe A little different, here's ex-Everton gk and current analyst/commentator Andy Gray: http://www.football365.com/You_Say_We_say/Andy_Gray_Column/story_42377.shtml
He's not exactly competition, but Frank McLintock, captain of the '71 Double winners, chimes in: http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2002400000-2002441854,00.html Danny Mills speaks: http://football.guardian.co.uk/comment/story/0,9753,801402,00.html And Jesper Blomqvist: http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/sporttop/page.cfm?objectid=12236429&method=full&siteid=50143 But Gary Neville disagrees (and to quote Bugs Bunny, "What a maroon."): http://www.sportinglife.com/footbal...E=soccer/02/09/28/SOCCER_Man_Utd_Neville.html
Came across this article at soccernet today and remembered this thread. He's not exactly competition anymore, but I have to think it kills Spurs fans to read this kind of stuff. Klinsmann is an Arsenal fan By the way, is anyone going to be watching this match today cheering on DC? I personally don't get FSW, but I'm having someone who does tape it to watch later.
