    Fergie got rid of Pogba too

    I think that's been Wenger's problem for years now, his team have no fighting spirit about them for some reason.

    Mata whos never really fitted in at Man U actually done better for them, atleast chipped in with quite a few goals although also failed to really impose himself much and was also a liability defensively.

    I thought Pogba was the worst player on the park tonight, just strolled around, never demanded the ball or made anything happen, 90 mil ffs he's no worth 90 quid lol.

    I think it will end up being a Man City v Chelsea final.

    Spurs have changed their manager about 20 times since Arsene's been at the Gunners and finally they landed their man while Arsenal have held firm and believed in patience and tradition while the modern game has swept past them in the shape of Bayern and changes of management in the league every year.

    Pochettino might not get far in the CL this year but what a team he's building out of a modest budget. If Spurs beat them in the final Arsenalfantv would just be a 4 minute warning multi broadcast.

    The number is actually only 10.

    Well that's even worse, it only took them 10 managers to find the right one. Plus they sold Bale and Modric during that time

    Big fan of Wenger's early work but it's like he's turning into their Ronny. Can you imagine us getting beat 10 2 on aggregate? You think we'd be cool about it?

    10 permanent appointments since 96 is fairly modest by modern standards, and of those I'd say only Gross, Santini, Villas-Boas and Sherwood were demonstrably bad hires.

    Keeping hold of Bale was never a serious option for a club of Spurs' ambition at the time, they did well to maximise their asset. Unfortunately * a lot of that money away on the big replacement splurge but still got Real to pay over the odds.

    With Modric it was a case of let him go to Chelsea for 40 odd million or Real for 30 odd million, easy choice to make if credibility is a prime concern. They even got Real to release a lot of PR guff about some pie in the sky strategic partnership between the clubs, which iirc boiled down to agreeing to play a couple of friendlies. :giggle1:

    Whats wrong with Conte? chance of a double in his first season and he's dropped Cahill, Hazard and Costa in a semi.

    Lloris at fault for the goal.

    I've never felt he's as good as people make out.

    Can see Chelsea winning this. Spurs are just bottlers.
