Sorry, was a glib reference to all the talk last summer about the inevitability of them taking our place in the Champions League. A lesson it would seem they havent learned yet...... http://www.spurs.vitalfootball.co.uk/article.asp?a=506566
It seems to me that Barcelona should extend their scouting network slightly beyond North London. Thats 5 Arsenal players that have been on this magical list this week alone.
I think that, regardless of today, there was always gonna be wholesale change there. Its gonna make it tougher to attract the calibre they were after though. Wonder if Flamini wishes he had waited a week or 2?
I think its one of those that you have to take a bit of a punt on. At 23, I reckon he has shown enough to suggest he could do it on a bigger stage, as had Benayoun previously. As did Darren Bent previously. No guarantees in this game!
Whatever he does or has done, good or bad, I will always remember him as the c*** who tried to lead the National Tema into going on strike following his dozy teammate failing to show up for a drugs test. Absolutely unforgivable.
