Let's face it you need a sense of humour to support the rags at the moment don't you? All that money spent and City waving down at you.

Well at least they have a striker who can score goals, perhaps your shower might want to stick in a ridiculous bid and add him to the the other players you've over paid for?

A few Arsenal players made the squad, odds on at least one will come back injured. Poxy international nonsense.

Newcastle United is a strange beast, they have all the essentials to be a very good team, but seem to court disaster on a regular basis.

As for the media hysteria following our draw on Tuesday, strangley this hasn't been replicated following the chavs draw against the mighty Maribor or the stuffing handed out to City. Shock.

I heard that too, but I'm not sure we ever made an approach.

To be honest these positions have been in need of players for at least a couple of years, it's not like this became an issue last summer, and to be honest Wenger seems to be the only one that can't, or won't, see it.

Khedira for a start, free agent in the summer

Wenger buys players with the same work ethic, and skill level as Sanchez, I can see him waving goodbye in the Summer and I wouldn't blame him. We need four players in positions I mentioned in my earlier post and we MAY challenge once again. As we all know, the money needs to be spent on the right players and in Sanchezs case, Wenger was spot on.

Usually when we f*** up like > this we bounce back hard for a month or two but > why does it have to happen at all Quite simple, Wenger is the only person that can't see what is blindingly obvious to all and sundry. We got rid of Vermalen and didn't replace him, Mertesacker isn't good enough, same goes for Arteta and Flamini, and unless Wilshere sorts himself out, he needs to go. We've been crying out for a decent, Kompanyesque central defender for ages, same can be said for a Vieira repalcement who can battle and some steel to the defence midfield position, plus we've needed a world class striker for at least 2 seasons. We the fans can see it, Wenger can't. As loathsome as Mourinho is, he saw last season that he needed a world class striker and bought Costa, we got Welbeck. We bought Sanchez and Ozil, as good as they are, they aren't what the club was crying out for. Personally I'd rather we didn't qualify for CMPL for a season, which may act as the wake up call Wenger and the board need.

Keane having a go at someone for having a career in the media, this from a man that has "written" 2 literary matersworks. The image of Jason McAteer scribbling an imginary not under Keanes nose comes to mind.
