H_B Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 The Ferguson era is at an end, I don't see them making any real progress until they have a new manager, especially as Chelsea are now streets ahead of everyone in England. 717148[/snapback] I agree - Man U are clearly the second best side in the country, but that's not good enough for them (quite understandably). The thing is, they arent doing much worse now than they did when they won all their championships, its just that Chelsea have set new standards, which is making them look bad in comparison. A few of their better players are just ageing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Booth Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 When England played Slovakia in Bratislavia in qualifying for Euro 2004, John Motson said something like "it's strange they are hosting the game in this rundown stadium instead of at the National Stadium in the capital, Prague" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve McQueen Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Yes. Would you like to suggest an alternative as the second best side in the country? 717173[/snapback] Arsenal are the 2nd best side in the county. They are struggling at the moment without half their team & dont have the money to spent on players that Man U do let alone Chelsea. What are you basing Man U's claim on?

I think losing Vieira is a huge blow to Arsenal - they haven't really replaced him. Squad is too light on numbers and too reliant on Henry. On their day a very good side. I would bet a lot of money Man Utd are second in the league this year, which will confirm them as the second best team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David W Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Bizarrely, I thought Fletcher was excellent in the 2nd half. The only player to show any real urgency until J Spark came on. Incidentally, when will the wee ginger learn to tackle properly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H_B Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 To be fair, he had to do that given Smith is so utterly dreadful. 717263[/snapback] I felt a bit sorry for Smith - he looks totally lost in central midfield. Shows both how weak their squad is in midfield and how pig-headed Ferguson is that he continues to persist with him there. He was appalling though. Scholes wasn't much better. It's about ime he started getting penalised for those snidey tackles he puts in 3 or 4 times a game usually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francesc Fabregas Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Paul Scholes looks like God stopped caring, he is a vile little man and shoudl be spat on accordingly, as should the rest of those horrid, horrid men. Good to see Arsenal doing well, but its a bit crap being part of a one man team (ie, Henry), but what a goal! OOOFT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
