just can't help yourself, can you? Zzzzzzzzz

bb - few on here require a history lesson on aw's virtues, strengths and "eye for talent" in days gone by You seem to!!! - you debated over a minor point regarding AW's positive influence on Adams' career which imo was extremely picky considerin the context in which it was written and as ...

has anyone read this book? is it any good? written a few years ago by a gooner called matthew bazell (recently updated)

Just on your other point N6 why the quotation marks around "washed up" in reference to Adams??? I never did say nor would I, that Adams was finished as a player when AW took over :? ............ but would TA5 have scored the "that sums it all up" left footed volley after runnin ...

bb - aw's inability (past and present) to manage strong characters is a separate point to the fact that, as a consequence, the door has always been closed to mentally strong ex-players who would have been able to influence the development (and loyalty) of new talent coming through there's a big dif...

So to sum up some of that BB, what you are saying re rvp is that the day wenger bollocked him on the sideline was the day rvp's career turned for the better ? Then why does he not bollock his players more often ? I am not advocating hanging them out to dry in public on a continual basis but fcuk me...

didn't suggest he is "deliberately refusing" rather that he's failed, persistently, to realise the importance of a strong leader (that is the captain) and this is where we've lost our way since the departure of adams swiftly followed by vieira. we all know that the missing ingredient sinc...

The captaincy should be retired, its importance died when Djourou wore it. depends whether you want afc to be successful in the future.......'71 mclintock.......'89 & '91 adams........'98-'04 adams/vieira. see the connection with winning silverware? if not, try keane, ince, neville (man.u) and ...

it's not about captaincy - it's about having leaders on the pitch and we don't have any go a goal down and the players heads drops, Sol Campbell said "when adams was captain, we still had four or five leaders on the pitch", and if he two were injured or missing we still had leaders the co...

I was going to write a more lucid response to your bilous vitriol but then realised you had to go pick your IQ out of the dustbin first. I've watched more Arsenal matches than you've sucked dangly balls you gorbellied toss-pot. Go watch some football, read a book, get an education. You're retarded....

.....couldn't have happened to a nicer fella. has been all downhill since that fluke of a goal (and foolish after-match celebration) against us in 4-4 draw Another wenger creation with ideas above his station Im no massive Wenger fan these days - but Bentley's attitude was nothing to do with Wenger...
