the wigan game was a joke and showed the difference between arsenal and manu/chelski. still miles ahead of manC and liverpool though. i dont think manu/chelski could have coped with having there biggest players out to injury for most of the season either though. at full strength and with the addition of a big finisher arsenal are a real force to be reckoned with.

I keep hearing this from Arsenal and Man Utd(not so much).Chelsea have also had some of their key players out injury this season.Essien,Ashley Cole,Bosingwa,Carvalho,Alex,Cech,Mikel maybe out for the rest of the season and like other team we lost players due to the African Nations cup.

Which is down to Venga's ( ) reluctance to spend and over reliability on youngsters.

So Micheal Essien isn't one of Chelsea's biggest players.

RVP has never scored more than 11 Premier League goals in a single season.

Chelsea and United have had big players out for large parts of this season.

RVP has been injury prone all his career as have a number of other Arsenal players. As others have said It's Wengers fault for relying on these players, and Chelsea and United have coped better due to the better players in their squads.

RVP was having the season of his life before injury. Always been made of glass and foolish to rely on him alone.

Eduardo WAS a great finisher. That tackle maybe hasnt ended his career but its ruined him mentally.

Its Arsenals fault we have lost the league for not buying. end of. Depth is laughable.

If we had got a striker in in Jan then maybe it would be different. Doubtful with the current choice of CB & GK

Hopefully we will see signings( havent said that for ages lol)

He has shown no respect to the team or manager a number of times now and if the reports are true complains a lot about the English culture (fair do that's his choice but Russia isn't a beacon of light is it) but his biggest thing is the tax he has to pay. it's his job so you can get that to an extent and in Spain he'd only pay about 22% not the 50% here (although I doubt in reality they do via various work arounds) but he must have had some idea before coming to England.

Basically he's a half decent player who's too big for his tiny boots. Wenger needs to go mental on his *** (no homo)
