Eddy Murphy is not ugly enough...

Didn't change the fact that he had a poor game.

your glasses are truly tinted...

you have truly lost it now...

Yeah right.

Ronaldo is the main threat. Get momo to man mark Ronaldo and pack the midfield with five to disrupt their passing. the only way to stop ronaldo is to stop him from getting the ball. He is impossible to contain when he runs at full speed with the ball.

not sure abt that. it's one thing being arrogant and quite a different thing being arrogant and blame everyone else for his own failure. When they went through a bad spell, he was blaming everyone else and their dogs, which I thought was just bad form. He even moan about the lack of quality players on the bench! As if he wasn't in charge of the purchasing department. That is coward leadership and I hate leaders with no b*lls.

I much prefer to beat them with another dodgy goal than beating them 3-0. Jose's whinging will keep me entertain for another year.

so it shall come to pass... we'll meet Chelsea at the semi and beat Man U in the final.

It's funny how often we have said that over the last 6, 7 years.

Ronaldo was already very good when he first arrived and credit to him, he has stepped up a notch or two this season to become the best in his position. His talent was obvious right from the word go. Gonzalez will improve with time, as was evident on Sat, which I thought he played well. But I doubt he will ever be as good as Ronaldo is now. Nevertheless, I do agree that we should keep him at least for another season.

Brilliant

very unlike Benitez to talk through the press...

11M will get you cisse, martin, saha. He is extremely good money for 11 M. You have got to be blind not to see it.

If only you have made that pledge in your "we'll gonna win the league" post...

as I alluded to earlier, United's youngster in the 90's are a freakish phenomena and unlikely to be repeated again, try as Ferguson may. Wenger has consistantly done it over the last decade. Something that Ferguson hasn't done. Not saying one is better than the other; both are great achievements imo. But I do forget that you own the fact department, so let's agree to disagree.

out of curiosity, what did he say abt Kean?

What Ferguson did in mid nineties with the five young kids in one cohort is outsanding achievement. It is also a freakish result taking into consideration the law of averages. Thus I don't think it can be repeated again. Since then Arsene Wenger has done better than all the rest of top 4 in spotting talent, bringing them in young and developing them into good (not just competent) first team players. Long list of examples stretching back to Henry, Vieira and more recently Fabregas, Clichy, Toure.... and not all of them are bought at a king's ransom as many here seem to dismiss as. This is imo no mean task. Particularly bearing in mind some of our own youngsters who at the time they were bought, came highly rated (pongolle, le tallec golden boot and MVP youth world cup) but, as it turns out, none we would really want in our first 11. In gist, the press is merely acknowleging the fact he has done much better than the rest of us in bringing young players through since ferguson did in mid-nineties. Again something that I happen to agree. Why we should find it so difficult to acknowledge other people's achievement is baffling to me but you are intitled to your opinion.

Dude, it's bad enough to agonise about a phantom final....but to agaonise abt what the press would write abt the said final??? Get a grip.

Is right. I reckon our record against the unfashionable sides in Europe is not better than those against the likes of Roma, Milan Juventus etc.

Shame that their captain is thick as sh*t

from what I have read, the acknowledged fact is that these players didn't come through the ranks but were purchased wisely. All the top 4 bought players from home and abroad, imo (and you are entitled to disagree) Arsenal has done it better than the rest. Hyped up? TBH, if we have their lot of youth players, I will be praising them to high heavens too. But of course the objective and unbias football fan in you would have disapproved of me. and I agree it's got feck all to do with either club's Youth Cup team.
