Look, I realize Arsenal does not deserve to win any silverware this year. The long slump. Losing to lesser teams. Giving up the lead to Didier Drogba (I think there some other men in blue shirts there, as well, but I'm not sure they were playing) at Stamford Sludge. And the defense. The Defense! barely two minutes after taking the lead, the back four breaks down like a '67 Volkswagen Bus on a mountain highway. You can't win championships acting like that!
I love Arsenal. I will root for them to defy the odds they've created and win the EPL Trophty and the CL Trophy. But, baby, do they need some new people in defense, and some dudes on the bench, as well. Kolo Toure dives in and checks on too many plays per game to be playing for a front line team. He did it again on Gerrard on the drive that tied the game. And William Gallas for all his skill and fire is a little dude when compared to the Drogba's of the world. (The fullbacks are top notch, of course.)
Oh, and someone tell me when Emanuel Eboue was replaced with a petulant 11-year-old? What happened to him?
