Chairman of Wigan seems to think using the term "chink" is acceptable, give me strength

[Otta]

He also said Jews go after the money.

So that's original.

I'm just gutted I married the wrong Jew, we're bloody skint.

I saw that quote, beggars belief.

Hate diving and simulation of any kind and thought I could occupy the moral high ground after Barkley's antics but Tomkins is a feckin disgrace. Big fine AND a public apology - the least I expect.

Well its been a grudge match since the 90's and you expect to see some claret spilt every now and again.

Anyway - as you cant drink within sight of the pitch, they must keep red wine in their hip flasks. Get a proper drink.

It was at the Emirates - I think it was probably a viscious argument over Kusej's direction of Idomeneo

[Mick Mac]

I had to Google that. Maybe you would fit right in at the Emirates nowadays Quids.

arsenal are turning into a joke i mean they have decent players but just cant get a win. maybe man utd are going to get a top 4 finish afterall and liverpool i dont know what is going on with them. chelsea definitely winning they are not going to lose that many points till the end of the season.

[Otta]

Liverpool simply don't have the players to challenge.

BUT

I disagree with Phil Neville that we're basically where we should be with that squad. We're playing very badly, but if Rogers can sort that out, then we should be challenging for top 4.

[nicklas]

Yeah i definitely agree with that liverpool have a good bunch of player that can play good football its just they have lost there chemistry they are not playing fluid nice football like they were playing last season maybe due to the absence of sturridge and the lost of suarez who is such a good finisher and player. same situation with arsenal they have the player just cant play. need to learn how to play.

[Otta]

Also, Suarez's goals last year covered up the fact that we were conceding a ton. We're probably not conceding any more now, but we're not scoring at the other end.

In my humble opinion, Rogers needs to sort the defense out first, then start thinking about pretty football. Liverpool were a joy to watch last year, but right now we just need to think of points on the board before we can think about style.

[nicklas]

talking about suarez. he scored a nice one yesterday for barcelona his been playing really good in every game.

Where would City be without Aguero, he was stunning in last nights Champions League game against Bayern

PD, nice diversion from you own team's deficiencies. Where would Arsenal be without Sanchez?

[Parkdrive]

I'm well aware of those, but Aguero is nonetheless a baller

[jackwelts]

Yeah if only aguero played like that in the world cup argentina would have defently won instead of germany.that was excactly what they were missing.

[Jah Lush]

Agreed he's a fantastic player. Where do you stand on this Wenger out nonsense?

[Otta]

Is it nonsense?

I'm not saying I agree with it, but I don't think it should be dismissed. He's hardly got a record like SAF.

[Alan Medic]

I can't see Arsenal ever sacking him though if the French national team job came up it might give him a way out.

It's a difficult one. He has done a tremendous amount for the club and the methods he introduced when he arrived are now being widely used by other clubs. He has left us a great legacy, what with the stadium etc. I'm not for sacking him but do feel it's time for a change. Exactly who we'd get in is open to debate. Rumours are rife about his successor, Klopp, Guardiola have been mentioned, I'd quite like Ancelotti. Can't see him walking away from Real though.

Or conversely where would Arsenal be without Wenger.

ETA: whoops, only just noticed jah asking same.

[Ladygooner]

I want him to stay. Every season we get the same boo boys. Be careful what you wish for as a replacement

[Parkdrive]

Like I said I'm not for sacking him, but there have been times in the last few seasons when his tactical naivety has cost us dearly. Certainly some of the players need to shoulder the blame equally, and some should be moved on. But I really think we need a freshen up, but not by sacking him mid season. The club should, if it hasn't already, be looking at a long term successor.
