There was plenty of evidence this was the case as Mustafi was getting penalised for breathing on Ashley Barnes too heavily. So not surprising a push to the back was penalised. Maybe that's what he means (it's not).
Nah you’re way off here, Chelsea 1 were the most defensive team he’s coached by far. His Real Madrid team holds the record for most goals in a season ever.
Goals scored against the lesser opposition. He still does that now and did at Chelsea, but the big games he stifles the opposition and kills the game. A tactic he devised to stop Barcelona. He even won the Champions League in 2010 with Inter Milan playing very defensively in the latter stages.
Ca$hley.
Pseudo-philosophical attempt to get around being fined for calling the ref a ****.
That is quality. Though in truth if he did seriously believe he was likely to play more at Liverpool than at Arsenal he's probably the only one that did.
Thought that was a great performance personally.Though having said that the most wretched performance in a big game I can remember from a team of his was the Porto/Celtic Final. That was more gamesmanship than anything. So perhaps he has always been a prick.
It was just galling for a team with Stilian 'The Submarine' Petrov and Chris ****ing Sutton to whinge about diving.
Depends how much they get for them surely? Also might be able to flog them overseas if they let them go in January.
Yeah, fair shout. But if they're sold, what then? Surely replacements will be needed if there are any serious ambitions to achieve anything this season, and I can't think of anyone who'd actually be any good who'd be available. It's not like Arsenal are short on cash, so in my head it'd be a case of either a) lose them now, get the money, make do on threadbare team until end of season, spend in summer, or b) keep them till summer, lose them for nothing, spend money.
