Transfer deadline day Q&A 4:56pm on 02 Sep 2009 21. At 2:49pm on 02 Sep 2009, GingerGeniusNW3 wrote:
Phil: you say "Four years and counting makes this a season when silverware needs to come to the Emirates."

So if silverware NEEDS to come to Arsenal this season, what happens if it doesn't? Wenger is sacked? We get the usual 'next season will be the big one' jargon? Or will Wenger just continue overseeing the clubs longest trophy drought for 22 years?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Wenger also oversaw 3 league titles, 4 FA Cups - TWO MAJOR EUROPEAN FINALS before you start harping on about the Cup Winners Cup - That wasn't a major european competition not to mention the Invincibles and probably the best football that England has ever and will ever see.

Arsenal are in the strongest financial position (self made not Dubai bought) in the Premier League, which he has overseen, not to mention the array of talent that continues to develop and get better with the promise of more to come off the production line. Not a single Arsenal player that he has let go, has ever gone on to have the same impact in any other team - Vieira, Overmars, Petit, Hleb, Campbell and even Henry to a certain extent isn't the player he was at Arsenal

Arsene Knows - Have faith, the makings are their that this could be a special season
Transfer deadline day Q&A 2:00pm on 02 Sep 2009 Phil, I think you'll find that Michael Turner was signed by Hull from Brentford, who I believe will be receiving a chunk of the cash from his sale to Sunderland. Aside from that error - Good Article!
What do you think of the fixtures list? 1:31pm on 17 Jun 2009 The fact that Arsenal face Man Utd, Chelsea and then Liverpool in the space of a week and a half during Jan/Feb is a joke. That sort of intense game is hard to play twice in a row, never mind 3 times. I already think that those three games will probably be the defining moments of our season
Classic British Grands Prix 11:11am on 11 Jun 2009 1987 definately
Classic Chinese Grands Prix 11:39am on 09 Apr 2009 I vote for 2004, amazing race, one that was actually competitive. I agree with the classics idea as well. It seems strange to not have a Canadian GP this year and especially as you can't really show just highlights from last year's valencia and singapore races, and you won't have anything for Abu Dhabi, obviously

BTW I love this classic's highlights blog, more where this came from please!
A draft amendment 7:53pm on 29 Apr 2008 I think to suggest an NFL style draft in the premiership is ludicrous. How can you draft people from all over the world. American Football is only played in one country with a proper competition unlike football. Can you really see young Argentine and Spanish players signing up to an English draft? How would clubs in Europe buy players in England and vice versa. This type of transfer system could never work for football as it is a truly global sport, unlike the NFL where this year's draft only caught the imagination of the Americans.
