    What were Neville and Carra saying was well out of order? Was it the treatment of Ranieri or the constant harassment of a legend faithful to beautiful football Arsene Wenger?

    I don't know who could replace Wenger apart from our man but they can * right off. Arsenal fans will miss the entertainment I'm sure although they don't sound very excited that much. Ancelloti is a good manager I think who plays stylish enough.

    Poor Ranieri is in some sticky mud there, I mean how could he achieve such success then be fighting relegation? I feel for him, he's such a good personality. Would hate to see him get relegated because he'd be remembered as some kind of comedy character. What he did with them in the EPL was nothing short of a miracle. Should be remembered as a legend at Leicester. I know the EPL was crap but look how much money teams spend on managers and players trying to win the * thing.

    I don't get how Neville doesn't understand why Arsenal fans want rid of Wenger. In the last 10 years they've won what, 2 FA Cups?

    It's dreadful.

    I think Wenger is the most frugal of the top managers? Yet he keeps finishing in the top 4 which is some consistency but his teams seem to lack a fighting spirit ability.

    Arsenal fans will not be happy how easy Chelsea made it look. :triplomur

    Wenger's time is up imo I have nothing but respect for him but it's time for Arsenal to make a change

    Arsenal are far too weak mentally, not good enough in midfield and haven't had a top striker for a very long time. Having Cazorla and Coquelin as a midfield duo won't win titles and neither will Giroud upfront

    Can see Sanchez leaving as he has already publicly shown his frustratition with the the squad, such as celebrating late equalisers instead of going to get the ball and get the game started again

    Sanchez is far too good for them.

    For the size of their club, yes. He took them to great heights and has since taken them backwards. They are the ultimate team of players that flatter to deceive.

    Liverpool, for all they've spent, have won just 1 trophy in the last decade. Terrible return for the size of their club and the opportunities they've squandered.

    Yep, Arsene's 2 FA Cups certainly trump Liverpool's 1 League Cup. But neither record is impressive.

    For all Liverpool's faults I don't blame Klopp for losing the Europa League final, he was up against a vastly superior team with a recent track record of success. But putting your league chances through the ringer by making it to the semis of the League Cup and then getting put out by a rather humdrum Southampton outfit is inexcusable.

    End of this season will be 13 years since Arsenal last won the league, the last time they had a comparable gap between titles was 71 to 89. Any other club would have sacked him about five years ago but Kroenke and the like are happy to have a year in year out Champions League money spinner, they always go on and on about the club's vast cash reserves that they supposedly have ready to go but never actually use. Their two main stars, as good as they are at times, are Barca and Real cast offs.

    When they aim for mediocrity they shouldn't be surprised about getting mediocrity time and time again.

    Think it's a stick on tbh.

    Him Dybala and Higuain would be frightening together.

    Rodgers has a better record then Klopp :brendy:

    Identical W-D-L Record
    But Brendan's scored more and conceded less not bad considering Liverpool fans 1 big criticism of him was he couldn't organise a defence

    Funny thing is Liverpool fans respond with "Oh but he had Suarez"

    Stelling just said that Sanchez apparently handballed it in earlier and it stood. Clattenburg looked at it at half time and apologised..

    Surely you shouldn't be allowed to look at your mistakes at half time, knowing the human mind naturally tries to rectify it?

    That shouldn't be allowed, anywhere. Dangerous precedent if the all do that, in our own league as well..

    Arsenal should have finished with 10 men as well Gibbs was last man and took out Markovic who was surely gonna get a shot on goal
