I cannot BELIEVE you just put Song and Essien on a parallel.

AGooner said something back in the early part of the season "He runs the attack, but he won't always show up on the final assist. He assists the assister" or something akin to that. If You watch the highlights from yesterday's game and that backs up his opinion completely.

Wigan: Kirkland, Gohouri, Watson, N'Zogbia, Moreno, Bramble, Rodallega, McCarthy, Melchiot (c), Diame, Figueora.
Subs: Scharner, Scotland, Moses, Gomez, Sinclair, Boyce, Stojkovic.

Arsenal: Fabianski, Diaby, Sagna, Rosicky, Nasri, Walcott, Silvestre, Clichy, Campbell, Eastmond, Bendtner.

Subs: Van Persie, Vela, Mannone, Eboue, Traore, Merida, Henderson.

Looks like a pretty awful team from us. Might go out and enjoy the sunshine rather than watch this if that team is confirmed.

Correction - Modric has 4 EPL assists (Liv, Ful, Wigan and Sunderland)

Lennon has 9 in EPL

Dualist wrote:You got to rate attacking ability of players by end product and video evidence. I use statistics because I'm no good with words and I don't take words for granted. Stats/facts are reliable..

Arsenal: Fabianski , Diaby, Sagna, Rosicky, Nasri, Walcott, Silvestre, Clichy, Campbell, Eastmond, Bendtner.

You mean you can't rank a footballer's worth accurately using nothing but statistics/data like the Castrol Index or Carling Opta

Are you seriously trying to tell me that Henry wasn't the best player in the world as recently as 5 months ago ?

With Denilson and Song out we don't have much option for DM. So what's wrong with Manuel?

Having a team from outside the big 4 in CL won't be great - United, 'pool, Chelsea and Arsenal have lots of experience of playing CL and EPL and even they find it a struggle.

Spurs would do a Real Sociedad/Celta Vigo.

He similar to Iniesta in that he deeper he plays, the more responsible & conservative he is.

Sandro's coming in the summer, so we'll see what effect that has. 'arry's definitely looking at ways that we can be more flexible tactically.

I think Almunia may have played his last game for Arsenal

Can dream anyway...

Had never heard of him in my life before. Any other Arsenal fans want to admit the same?

@ Super Madrid Leeds also did the same thing. Think it's very possible for Spurs to do well in the CL.
