As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.
Yeah, but there is good in his play, same with pingpong (as well as a number of others Bentley Upson Hoyte Jerome etc etc) I know the stats on injuries are dead easy to do, you are either out or in, but do we manage to mess up more kids than other teams? Citeh I would think rank high on that one as well.
We invest so so much yet regularly players end up not making it inspite of the talent thay have. Is this yet another trend

I think the trend is other "smaller" clubs don't have the money we have and call it a day on a young player long before we do. They see he is not good enough and cut their loses. We (and by "we", I mean Arsene) have the money to take longer before cutting the player loose. Wenger also has an ego that takes ages to admit to itself that he got it wrong. Other clubs/managers are more pragmatic.
We would also have more players on our books. So it looks like we are ruining loads of young players compared to other clubs but I'd say the percentages are probaly the same.
Lost your manager and half your team? Never mind Saints fans - the answer to all your prayers is just around the corner. Surely Barca and Real aren't going to sit back and watch Saints snap him up?
You've gotta love the idea of lazy, egomaniac, taxi-loving Nik being trained by c--ty Keane. It'll either end in a swift Jan exit or with him actually becoming the best striker in the world.

But also comparable with the lady as well, if the lady is a slag. Both have had fuckloads of fat sausage in their mouths.
Only difference being the lady would score more goals than the Fat Drunk.
