on match of the day last night they said we have thrown away 2 goal leads 2 years in succession at wigan.
last season we went 1 nil down there before arshavin and bendtner scored
this is the kind of lazy arse journalism that people take on board and spout as fact

It isn't a fair comparison either. You'd be better off looking at corresponding fixtures.

Am I the only one that thinks that Vermaelen would be a sublime Defensive midfielder?

No, I think he would be, certainly. He's one hell of a player. His passing is superb as is his reading of the game, Bergkamp stylee.

I'm sure he'd be good, but depends on his stamina. CB's don't tend to be the best in that regard

You mean in the box...? ;)


Not as crazy as it first seems actually. Let's face it he's a far more clinical finisher than Chamakh and he's got more pace than Park.
