THE WENGER THREAD

[Blade]

Absolutely correct, that one-on-one with Valdes will haunt him forever.

Shall we go on to Le Prof's selection of Center-backs to lead us to glory?.

Vivas

[augie]

So overall he was crap.Can you imagine what the team could have achieved with someone who was actually good ..

hmmm... like what? Maybe the champion's league? Still there are people on here that will tell you Henry didn't bottle every final he played in for us.

Not me

Henry bottled in every final he ever played in his career.

That one on one with Valdes still haunts me today, I was down on my f**king knees watching that

that was the beauty of Wrighty,if you needed a massive goal when the pressure was at its most stressy you would put your mortgage on Wrighty to deliver and he always did,kind of bugs me that Henry(love him to bits,dont get me wrong,for me the best player to ever wear the red and white) totally eclipsed him in the eyes of the modern day gooner when in his time wrighty was a good as henry without a doubt what so ever,had it been wrighty in the CL final we would have won

[A11M11]

,had it been wrighty in the CL final we would have won

Amen.

[Bendtners Drinking Buddy]

If it had been Wrighty we wouldn't have been in the final

[northbank123]

If it had been Wrighty we wouldn't have been in the final

Possibly not - that goal in Madrid was class and Henry was immense home to Juve - but did nothing in the semis and even with Wrighty instead of Henry that side was still more than capable of beating Madrid, Juve and Villarreal.

Henry was absolutely devastating and in the grand scheme of things you'd pick him every day over Wrighty (or just about any other player) but you would have put your house on Wrighty slotting that chance away.

On a side note IWWW8 has always been and will always be my favourite player. Broke the mould.

If it had been Wrighty we wouldn't have been in the final

Don't agree. Wrighty scored massive goals throughout his career - and often playing with inferior team mates. Before DB10, PV4, TH14 and those top class players arrived there was a spell from 1992-1995 where Wrighty was almost winning games single-handedly at times - as in, we would stutter around doing fuck all but defend and then he'd get one chance and BANG it's 1-0 to The Arsenal. I think Wrighty at his peak in that 06 team would have thrived.

There's no denying Henry was massive in that CL run but he absolutely bottled 2 sitters in the final that Wrighty would have scored every day.

Post of this whole sorry thread right there!

Wenker OUT!

[rodders999]

So Le Gimp said at his presser this morning that the injury picked up by Welbeck last April, that initially was meant to keep him out "only a matter of days", won't see him back in action until mid September at the earliest, 5 months later

Coupled with Rosicky being out crocked until next year at least all's well with the medical department

In fact I saw a stat today that said that John Terry at 34 years of age played more minutes last season than Wilshire/Walcott/Rosicky and Welbeck combined have played in 3 years!

The Abou Diaby medical wing of the training ground is earning its keep.

That was before the meds team go hold of him.

[officepest]

For all this talk of Henry bottling the '06 final, a couple of points need addressing:

Our goal came from a blatant dive by Eboue, scratch that and we've nothing to defend. The second point is Almunia was fucking appalling that night, which didn’t help.

Lastly, Wenger crippled us by hooking Pires once we were down to 10 men; we were on a hiding to nothing as soon as Jens was dismissed.

'04 was when we collectively bottled it; in '06 we had a puncher's chance, at best.

Blade:

Why not save yourself some time by simply posting a list of every single player ever signed by Wenger and typing “they were shit” randomly by some of their names?

PS: you have omitted Luzhny.

That’s cheered me up, Rodders.

Christ, I swear that our medical department is actually a portal to some pre-Crimean war battlefield hospital, replete with doctors with shit-on-their-hands infection control and sundry doses of leeches.
