Id love to see Merson's face when we finish in top 10. ****er. I notice that 'Big nose' Thompson didnt make such a fuss about Jurgen Krapp getting the Liverpool job.
As much as Wenger winds me up with some of the **** he comes out with, there's no doubting he's done an amazing job over the years to continually get Arsenal to be top 4. He's made them loads of money, won trophies, maybe not the league in recent years or CL. But anyone going there will be under huge pressure to come close to what he's done. Only when he's gone will Arsenal fans & pundits realise what he's done. Personally I think he'll see out his contract at the end of the season & then either move upstairs same as Fergie at Man Utd or just go off to France. What would be the point of sacking him if they don't win tomorrow, the title's gone for them this year, but they could still win the FA Cup again & still have Europe.
What puzzles me is why Arse fans whinge about not winning the league for 12 years, or whatever it is. Liverpool haven't won it for nearly 30 and they've won many more league titles, 5 European Cups / Champions Leagues and are much bigger around the world. Max Allegri will be in charge there next season. I'd put money on if I were you.
Wow, he said we're doing well, I suppose he's my favourite pundit now and I should take his word as gospel.
I'm of the opinion that the perfect manager for Arsenal has to be Simeone. He allows teams to play with freedom and without fear but solid as you want at the back. He would be a brilliant manager in the Premiership.
Yo, Merson - you ****wit please log in to view this image http://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/paul...emier-league/story-30138010-detail/story.html
I'm glad he 'tips' us to go down - the man's medically stupid and thank **** it's only the likes of Sky who employ him. Funny thing is though, I'm sure it was only around two weeks ago he was reported to have said something like: 'if they're only 4 pts adrift after this this run of games, I fancy them to stay up'.
It's more likely he wants us to go down, we all know the likely reason why without the need to spell it out.
Why do people get all upset by what Merson says. We seem to be living in an age of offended for the sake of feeling offended.
Burnley got a big kick in the teeth last week after being beaten by Lincoln in the FA Cup. You have got a great opportunity for a cup and then you get beaten by a non-league team, which is very embarrassing if you're a Premier League side. Hull need to win but these are the games that worry me for them. Against the likes of Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United you haven't got a lot to lose, but here the fans will tell you that they will expect them to win. Burnley are getting better away from home, so I'll go for a draw. MERSON PREDICTS: 1-1
