Given should have got hands to Adebayors goal.

adebayors my fantasy team captain  8)

Top Gear on Dave. Wave to Red Chris for me though.  :D

Come on Newcastle!

Yesssssssssssss. Nice one taylor!

Premiershit football.

Who gives a fuck.......................................

I can't believe Newcastle only got a point, they never stopped trying!

shame Newcastle didnt actually play any kind of recognizable football tho - Man of the match SMITH!! youre having a laugh!!
No wonder English football is going down the pan ... managers like Allardyce building teams of thugs who just run around madly for 90 mins ..

wheres the skill????

Newcastle deserved to win, quite disappointing result for them but better than nothing I suppose.

On another note Wenger is such a moron, not long ago he made himself look like even more of an idiot by absurdly claiming that Alan Pardew was racist for complaining about the lack of British players playing for Arsenal and now the fool is saying that England's new manager must be English?? Absolute nonsense.

If anything it's more important for English teams to have a certain number of English players, the nationality of a manager who does'nt even play is completely irrelevant. I'm sure he'd love us to get some shit English manager so we can continue to play way below our full potential. What an absolute cunt.

I hope the FA completely ignore his worthless comments, why they feel it's necessary to consult Wenger, Toshack, Platini and Beckenbauer I have no idea, it's not in any of their best interests to see England succeed.

Was a good game, more Arsenal fans in our end than that of the townend on a derby day! Wenger a nonce ben whatever your name? Swindon would die for a manager with 5% of his football intelligence!

Yes he is probably a nonce too, you're right there.

ben. you are just blinkered by your hatred of the arse.
wenger is the best manager in britain.OPINION!!!!
and the fa would be wise to take his and fergies advice imo

There would be no better man for turning around England than Wenger, but it will never happen.

Lets fucking hope not. Wenger's not even close to the best manager in Britain, there's no debate there.

:Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Who is then?

Dave Byrne?

Seriously have a look at his record compared to Ferguson or Benitez, there is simply no comparison, it's an insult to them to even discuss it and it's not like they're the only two who're better. He's not even won anything in Europe over his entire career - and that's a prerequisite to even be considered a top class manager.

look how he turns nobodys into superstars.then flogs them for massive profit when he's had the best out of them.look how he never spends as big as either fgergie or benitez when getting players.and dont come out with the tripe about wages, as man u and liverpool would be as high if not higher payers than the arse.look at the football arsenal play.
the bloke is as near to a football genius as you are going to get

you're wasting your time arriba, he's just a troll.

Wrong again, Arsenal's wage bill is higher than both Man United or Liverpool. http://arsenal-mania.com/?page=articles&article=3061521&from=rss&title=  Yeah
£80 million a year is nothing to spend obv. Why is anything which proves you wrong tripe? It's even on an Arsenal website ffs. Benitez has only been managing top division teams for 6 years and already has a more impressive list of honours than Wenger despite having less money to spend, Liverpool also finished higher over both of the last two seasons, not to mention winning the champions league, there is no comparison. Why are Arsenal fans so deluded?

 :soapy tit wank:

both henry and dein are no longer there.old article.income at arsenal has increased massively since the move to the emirates too.

Those are the most up to date figures from last season and yes higher income means the wage bill is likely to be even higher now. Note it's not really relevant which year they are from, it simply proves Wenger has had ridiculous amounts of money to spend over the last few years.

i'd be interested to see what the expenditure comapred to income for players is at arsenal during wengers time there?
then compare that to fergie and benitez,and any other manager you like ben.

There is no way Wenger could manage England, he has a team full of foreigners for gods sake. He couldn't go out and buy the last talent from another cluband palm them off as hs own for England.

That's true. In Mourinho there is a manager whose main strengths are tactical mastery and getting the best out of players - exactly what you need to manage a national side. Perfect for England, some would say and they'd be right. Wenger is known for finding young foreign players and developing them, not really going to help England too much.

Arriba, find some figures on all the respective transfer dealings if you want, good luck trying to prove he's the best manager in England, why not try and prove the world is flat too?

i cant be arsed ben.nor do i think wenger should be england manager.mouriniho or redknapp would be best imo.
 but he is in my opinion the best club manager in the buisness.and i think you would dig out the figures mentioned if you thought it would prove me wrong :wink:

Nah I had a look for some but could not find much.

I agree every team like newcastle who are no where near as good as arsenal should try and outplay them :roll:

It's called having a gameplan to get a result.

If they went out and tried to outplay Arsenal then they would get hammered, you play to your best strength and on evidence of Newcastle's performance last night that was passion and commitment.

Great result today!  :D
