The Problem With Arsenal (soccer thread, haters, don't read)
TheSheriff:
This is lifted partially from an Arsenal fan who is a sports columnist in The New Statesman. He says they rely too much on Vieira, (YES IT IS SPELT LIKE THAT YOU DICKS) and Henry sin't a natural centre forward, though he is a great finisher.
With Bergkamp fading, they have no Shearer-type no nonsense strikers, and Jeffers isn't the answer. What's the future of Arsenal? Pennant is average, as is Alladiere. Jeffers is good, but he's an Henry-type striker. In defence, Toure is pretty good...But Stuart Taylor doesn't impress me. Why did they get rid of Manninger?
They need to sign some good new talent soon, because selling Upson leaves them with no future team core.
Man U, on the other hand, have a sparkling future, as demonstrated versus Deportivo. And with Roy Carroll and Rodrigo, the two best young goalkeepers around they know Barthez can be replaced.
The times they are a changin, says I (Owen). And after such a short period of Gooner dominance.

gotta agree they just dont have the same home grown talent
Pimpdogg:
hardly home grown talent now is it?
they see a 16 year old who's doing well and nick him for a couple of thousand, play him in the reserves for a year and then say he's 'home grown'
and yes I am aware that is what arsenal have done with pennant and alliadiere.
ILL-Logic-AL:
Jeffers is like Henry? Doubt it very much. Plus he Jeffers is a great talent once he gains more experience. (Just look at his goal tally)
Pennant has also got a bright future ahead of him. Looked great when he was playing for Watford.
Jay ay Beee:
That's crap Owen...
First of all Roy Carroll and RICARDO (not Rodrigo) are average keepers..Barthez is inconsistent
Arsenal are still an awesome team..they have problems in defence but you can't question their attack...don't overeact here
Plus our reserves aren't exactly amazing...Fletcher looks good, but it's a long, long, hard road to make it. Both teams have problems.
On the other hand, just got back from the game RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
What a striker...the man is god! 32 goals now this season!!! MORE THAN HENRY, and he's played less games. 10 goals in Europe too, 1 more for the record in a season!
TOP OF THE LEAGUE, until tomorrow unless...(COME ON BEZ!!!!)
