What an awful winter for England.
Yeah that Ashes defeat made it truly awful!
Absolutely! When Ponting et al were giving it all the big licks before England had even got on a plane, we just knew that it'd be impossible to win a test, 5-0 defeat was the obvious outcome.
A truly awful winter then followed, the best they could manage was some piddly 2 inch high purple thing. English cricket is on it's knees and WC Grace is turning in his grave.
Sack the board and sack the manager I say, we should have won that last game hands down, posted 3000 runs without loss, and skittled them out in 10 balls, it's Wengers fault. Quarter finals on the back of a five month tour simply isn't good enough, we can't use the injuries as an excuse, Geoff Boycott was up there in the stands, why didn't we play him? Thierry Henry would have mashed them, but we sold him. Luke Wright is just a product of the youth system, he'll never make it, Wenger should have stuck with Gower, but then he's over 30 so was offered a smaller contract.
Repeat ad nauseum in any Arsenal thread you care to find......

Boycott's agressive batting style would have scored you 4000 in 50 overs for sure,that is if he didnt run the team out first.
