    Oh Arsene was always very good at top 4 finishes despite all the challenges he faced.

    The issue seemed to be that so many of those challenges were created by Arsene Wenger. As such, I'm rather less understanding.

    I'm not having a pop at AW, y'know.
    When I was young and full of rage
    I hated Tottenham to the core
    But now I've reached a gentler age
    I hate the fùckers even more.

    Nice chaps don't let Ronaldo score from a free kick about 75 yards from goal in a CL semi-final, Burney.

    Those are the actions of an utter c*nt.

    We finished there despite him, though. And half-decent goalkeepers aren't that expensive.

    Starting with Aliadiere in that semi-final.

    Old AW doesn't really believe in defence, does he? He should have been born Brazilian.

    He had that uncanny ability to turn himself into vapour at times, but in general he was a decent shot stopper and, importantly for an Arsenal keeper, quick off his line to fill the space behind the centre halves. He really wasn't that bad.

    Oh, fück yes! I'd forgotten that!

    He'd got away with dropping Henry in the cup against United before and clearly thought he'd push his luck.

    I may have used some language about him that day.

    I have seemed to erased this game from my mind.
    Is it the game where Fabianski went walkies and Drogba scored? (safe bet saying Drogba scored)
