Arsenal have comfortably finished above you for 2 seasons in a row.

You're being a bit silly with all this.

What? You guys would constantly reference it, what are you talking about?

ResurrectionRooney wrote:Arsenal fans are total cunts for it to be fair.  Liverpool fans ruined Sky Sports polls and Fans awards, Arsenal fans have given the official goal of the season award to mediocre goals from Jack Wilshere two years in a row now.  It demeans the award.

By the media, the fucking telegraph said Arsenal fans were ruining the internet.. must be immoral to criticize scrounging benefit seekers from Liverpool who sit in shit tracksuits all day.

It's hardly a scandal that both of those Wilshere goals won the award, I prefer that one to Alonso's disabled brothers lucky hoof from the half way line for instance.

Yes, the reason was ageing players and an owner that refused to invest. I think that's been proven by how much of a shambles Inter have become. If anything it's been proven that Benitez overachieved.

How are you going to compare a club side that plays every 3-4 days with a total of maybe 60-70 games a season to an international team that will play a respectable opponent maybe 2-3 times every 2 years  Just stop.    

No I mean there is a reason why Benitez has never been offered any of the top jobs around, except when there is a complete dearth of options i.e. Chelsea. I mean Napoli are hardly doing great this season.

What on Earth does how regularly a team play have to do with what we're talking about? Its not like Im talking about Del Bosque's record in the qualifiers, the man won 2 international competitions for God sake. The point was that its very easy to look at a great side and say that they could run themselves so I pointed out an instant where that was claimed and then proven wrong.
