Sour Mash

Also, just on that point, yes everyone knew he wasn't a great player, but he was always popular with fans, hence the whole Benali day thing at Oldham. Plus he must have been doing something right to continue getting picked by different managers. And he was popular for being a local lad, with a spot on attitude, think everyone knows that.

I will explain this very slowly to you DellDays...£500.....for such a role....is not.....a lot.....of money......in the real world......

Edit: double post.

Try booking a real unknown Z list celeb for an afternoon. Or someone to host a corporate event. They'll charge a lot more than £500.

Correct.

With all due respect, it really isn't & you're a bit out of touch with the real world if you think it is.

You think £500 is a lot of money for something like that?

That Bayern team would comfortably beat any of the current Premier League teams, can't point the finger at Wenger for that.

How about this - anyone that doesn't achieve 5 or more A*- C GCSEs get's steralised on their 17th birthday?

I've been saying that, would be typical Arsenal. Should be a cracker tonight.

That is all true - but is it healthy for any club, particularly one of Arsenal's size, to be so reliant on one man? Maybe that has been part of the problem. He won't be there forever, so they'll have to look at life without Wenger at some point.

Which may be part of the modern game, but I can see why Arsenal fans at least expect a top 4 finish with a cup win on top every couple of years, not particularly unreasonable expectations I would suggest.

Then why not try to at least win a cup?

He did. But he also continues to win tons of trophies. Arsenal haven't. When was the last time they even looked like they might win the league?

Why would doing any better have to involve matching what Ferguson has done? There is a huge gulf in their achievements. For what it's worth I don't mind Wenger, I think he is good for the game, but games like Saturday against Blackburn is where he really lets himeslf and his club down.

Yeah thats what I mean, stupid way of doing things, but a lot of clubs seem to do it. Just another way of pushing away support out of the game altogether.

Don't think they've ever announced what our allocation actually is. It's another example of the stupid way clubs allocate tickets, as I don't think Newcastle are close to selling out.

Who wants a free ride? Pointless post.

For cricket related totty, you should have been watching South Africa v Pakistan, every break in play contained footage of a different stunner, don't think they do munters in Cape Town.

Right, so how exactly does Benali have an ego problem?

Yeah, Benali has always been famed for his massive ego problem.

He's never going to play for us again, regardless of how he does in today's game or any other for Oldham.

It's a decent ground, but away end right up in the Gods, miles from the pitch.

Right, be good if the club could keep us updated on additional allocations etc.

Where you hear that from?
