I know it was funny - It's easy to forget just how many players Harry signed while at spurs, and just how much over the odds he paid for them - and how many of them disappeared with barely a game played - I mean he had Jenas, Bentley and Palacious until recently! I don't want to keep posting things like this but I just have to share this http://archive.arsenalnewsreview.co.uk/articles/m-2001-05-29-22-24-30.html and it'll be my last. But it's hilarious - according to this article from 2001 Wenger's summer signings in 1999 were 'nightmarish' because we lost Anelka and only signed Henry and Suker to replace him! He also goes on to say that anyone who believes a strikeforce of Henry, Bergkamp, Kanu and Wiltord is worldclass is living in 'cloud cuckoo land'!!! Enjoy
I'd go for a mix of youth and experience. We really need to rest our stars for Tuesday, which will be nigh on impossible to win anyway. Blackburn are beatable with our reserves. My team is: Mannone Yennaris Miquel Squillaci/Sagna Monreal Ramsey Diaby Rosicky Gnabry Gervinho Oxlade-C The only 1st teamer there is Nacho, who can't play on Tuesday anyway. Couldn't decided between Squillaci or Sagna at CB alonside Miquel, so we can rest Mert, Kos (who may be able to play) and Verm. Especially Verm.
Myles Palmer. Guy is a massive moron. The amount of rubbish he has spouted over the years is enough to last a lifetime.
Yep, he is indeed the ref tomorrow. http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2013/feb/15/arsenal-blackburn-rovers-squad-sheets http://nooooooooooooooo.com/
Well he was right about 2 of them. Shame for him that the other 2 ended up being 2 of the best players to ever grace a football pitch.
I don't think he's one of the ManUre refs. That's Webb, Foy and Battenburg. I think he (Dean) just hates us.
Mike Dean has got that condescending attitude that David Ellaray used to have. He thinks they are all schoolboys who need telling off.
Id give Podolski a run out at in the middle. The biggest concern is Kos and TV both doubtful, assuming theyd not play(to make it more difficult) Id go with Szcz Sagna Mertesaker Miquel Monreal Arteta Diaby Ramsey Ox Podolski Walcott It gives a couple of players a rest as well but still a strong team. We could have Cazorla, Coq, Giroud and Gervinho included on the bench in case we need them.
