Right. But this season, they could. Or rather, any defender we actually currently have could.
The whole sorry Almunia episode taught us well that you really mustn't skimp on back-ups as you may end up trying to win the European Cup final with them.
So we no longer do.
"Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.
"But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."
They both did ok for a little while, and as part of a **** squad.
It has taken a while but we really have travelled a long, long way.
It's an incredible long way in 5 or so years.
That first season we challenged for a CL spot, we had a back 5 of Rambo, Tomi, BW, Big Gabby and KT. And I was so chuffed after Mustafi, Sok, Luiz etc. I thought that would be our back 5 for a 5-10 years. Now, other than Big Gabby, they've all gone other than our 50 mil ball-playing CH being 2nd choice RB and perhaps 4th choice RCH.
The moment I loved Gabby was when we were playing woefully at the start of his career with us and it looked like MA could get sacked. He'd been the one positive. He was defending well when everyone else was atrocious. And when we were losing in one game, as opposed to just trying to keep doing his job well, he got the ball on the edge of our box and just tried to score goal single-handedly. He started charging up field and skipped past about 4 players before getting tackled. He seemed to be saying that if no-one else was gonna try, he'd do it on his own.
Btw, did you see the Chav's goal from the corner was offside?
