Please, we deserve no high hat.
We have bad apples in our yard too.

This is one of the reasons.
Look at the net spend. It explains a lot on how we ended 7th.

Watching the El Clasico game between FCB and RMA.
Good lively football.
I'm glad our former players play at higher level football.

Beside of money, when clubs like FCB or RMA come knocking the door, very few players (at least very few Spanish players) would turn them down.

p/s
One of the players that turned them down is, Fernando Torres.

You meant Arbeloa?
Yes, I think he wanted to leave. We sold him cheap, way too cheap for his quality.

Added on April 22, 2012, 11:46 amWell, that speaks a lot on why Torres wanted to leave.
Likewise, he got fed up with uncle Roy.

By the way, Torres played 1st half season under the uncle Roy.
Do you guys aware that (limbed) Torres scored more goals than both Carroll and Suarez in 2010/11 season?

I didn't take into the account the goals he scored at Newcastle.
I was concerning his performance at Liverpool.

Why you need to combine the goals of both Carrol and Suarez?
You know pretty sure I was referring their performance at Liverpool.
Did I give a statistically wrong info? Or you misinterpreted it?
(Why didn't you mention Suarez's 12 goals at Ajax?)

I said Torres scored more goals than "Carroll and Suarez" instead of "Carroll and Suarez combined".
Which part of it is unclear? Who's on drug?
Below par interpretation skill.

Both and combined, does it look the same to you?
"Both Andy and Suarez" and "Andy and Suarez combined" are 2 different thing.

For some reasons, we couldn't beat the crossbar.
Or the crossbar beat us?

It seems good.
Suarez could be a good winger.
Meaning we need to sign a striker then.

After a series of poor results, I am not sure if he learnt a thing or two under Jose.
Obviously results were not delivered.

The team aka the players need to take the blame too.

However, players won't get much of the blames.
Because it is the manager's responsibility to appoint the right players in their right positions.
The manager should sell poor players and get good players in (unless we have budget constraints. But that is not the case).
King Kenny has got rid of most of the inferior players inherited from Uncle Roy and Rafa (Milan Jovanovic, ElZhar. Konchesky, Poulsen etc).

Luck plays its part.
All teams have equal 90 minutes to convert goal(s).
Both manager and players have 38 matches to "beat the goal post".

Surprised. Andy Carroll at 35 millions is not in the list.

Suarez on fire.

SIlky smooth here.

He is an English. That's important.

Honestly speaking, the scariest thing is, we're gone. if KK stays another season and he spends another 100millions on inferior players.

Recent transfer rumors sent chills down my spine.

An assumption.
If he spent big bucks on inferior players before he got sacked (lost the FA), we're virtually f**ked in the next season.
The next manager is very f**ked too, with no transfer budget and a squad of expensive "mid-table" players.

Many people thought their season was over when they had poor run of results.
IMO Arsenal was single-handedly lifted by Van Persie, the player of the year (of course Arsene Wenger made some impact to the team like Arsenal).

Besides, I think Arsenal has over performed this season. As they lost key players like Fabregas and they didn't spend 100 millions on players. Even if Arsenal failed, I think the management and some of the fans can still accept the results.

Speaking of Arsenal, they just made a sensible signing, Podolski.
If Van Persie stays for another season, Arsenal will have a very strong attack next season.
