Bascombe hits the nail on the head

So you are saying that we are richer then Arsenal?

eh?

[einar]

Well, apart from the fact that they don't have more money.

You seemd to be agreeing with that.

No mate, I was inferring that they don't have 15,000 more than us every game, they might have the capacity for it but they aren;t filling it every game

Sorry mate, misunderstanding.

They are better of financially though are they not?

I would say so, but I think that's purely down to being a London based club and being able to charge through the nose for tickets. But if you look at the collective debt, then I suppose we're better off. The point is Wenger has been given time, time a lot of fans dont seem prepared to offer Rafa.

Fortunately that is a minority though.
The board will keep backing him and hopefully find him some more cash.
This would be a different team IMO with Simao and Alves.

Could Wenger, Ferguson or Mourinho do any better with our squad? Maybe...

All I know is this. Ferguson could get the best out of Gerrard. End of story.

If Gerrard was playing under him, he would be frightening.

You've got a very short memory, mate. Apart from these last couple of months Gerrard has been a phenomenal/frightening player for a very long time...one of the premierships most feared without a shadow of a doubt.

True. He has been very good. Probably why he gets the "best midfielder in the world" tag so often.

I'm just saying that if Ferguson was the guy calling the shots, I believe Gerrard would get better. Its all mental man. You can see it in the way Utd play. They're tough as all ****. Could you imaging how good they'd be with Gerrard there instead of Carrick or scholes? I don't even want to think about it.

Benitez is a great tactician. An academic of the game. But I just think that Ferguson has the edge over Rafa in the "motivation" area. You gotta remember that these are football players, I'm guessing that some of them are not that smart. And alot are just boys. You have to know how to motivate them.

I hate Utd with a passion, but you got to give it to them. They just believe they are winners. It doesn't matter who's in their line up. And as far as I can remember you never hear if they've lost a match how they are "missing a player" and thats why they lost, or they "played the wrong formation" etc... They just get on with it.

We've used just about every excuse in the book. I'm sick of excuses. not good enough means just that- Not good enough. We have the potential,I just think it comes down to the right motivation.
