Obviously a good player but not worth risking the morale of the whole squad. |
Yeah you've got other players like Gallas for that!
oh snap! |
Ahhhhhh Lucy,
You sneak a last minute win and you come back on. Good to see you.
See the champions elect played well at Wes Ham today.

yeah, hilarious as it is it sort of applies to all the teams, like Man U without Ronaldo and Carrick and Chelsea without Lampard and Terry. As Arsenal don't really have any quality players I can't finish the sentence, but good luck hanging onto 5th this season.
I'm sure the stars will be lining up to play UEFA cup football next season

The league will be far more competitive over the coming seasons due to citehs money. |

Gerrard and Torres must be pretty fckin good then if they can challenge for the title on their own. |

Obviously if he rated him he wouldn't have let him go in the first place. You pretty much answered your own question

And Song, Denilson and Steve Sidwell are?
At the time of Palacios' trial, Wenger thought that Palacios was not an improvement on what he had - Diarra, Gilberto, Flamini etc... and he was correct and not that Palacios "wasn't good enough for a top 4th/5th" EPL team.
At this current time your center midfield is Denilson and Song and Palacios is a superior player to both of them as they are both pants. |

This sort of thing gets my goat.
You can't just go out and sign these players in the window if they aren't available.
Why the hell would Villa sell Barry?
Everton Arteta etc at this time of the year.
Not going to happen. |
Why didn't he get in for Palacios? It was Wenger who spotted the guy in the first place.
Also i've said it before and i'll say it again,Lassana Diarra(letting him go) was the biggest mistake he will ever make in his career(same as Mourinho). |

Half your squad are not top 4 players
Palacios is better than what you have at the moment.
And the reason Diarra was a pain and was making waves is because he is/was blatantly head and shoulders above anyone else in the squad that plays his role but he was never given time on the pitch. |

Draw probably a fair result. Thought we looked pretty comfortable, and would be a bit worried about the amount of pressure you didn't put us under.
Obviously Eboue should be deported.
It was oh so quiet at the Lane though.......  |
I'm guessing you weren't there then.
Arsenal must be truly embarrassed by their away support sometimes. |

Your hearing must be letting you down Al or did it not come out to well on Sky? |

As long as they beef up their squad in the summer, they will be up there as long as O'Neill stays. |
