BREAKING NEWS: Benitez to be fired after this week's Champions League game. This will pave the way for F6 to takeover as they do not want Benitez as manager of the club. The Summer will consist of LFC ridding themselves of the dead weight that Benitez has accumulated over the last 5 years which will be a major financial hit to the club in next year's transfer market. This will trigger the transfer of Torres to balance the books. Nobody is bigger than the club. Everyone at LFC understands that except for Benitez.

[center]Arsenal:Was Wright a better striker than Henry?[/center]
There’s very little positive that can be done during the international breaks but for gooner addicts it does allow an uninterrupted chance to revisit some of the old tapes/dvds.

Amazing how the heartache can return as well as the joy.

But amidst all this history/euphoria/sadness a disturbing thought came to mind. Was Ian Wright a more natural striker than Thierry? It seems almost heresy to ask but watching replays of all their goals via the “Legend” series, a few things stand out that lead me to think that Wrighty was better. Not as an all round player. Purely as a striker.

Admittedly his 128 goals in 221 league appearances do not compare with Thierry’s 174 in 254 (All games 185 in 288 appearances vs 226 in 369 for Thierry) and for sure, he never made nearly as many goals as TH.

So why the thought?

Simple really. He mainly played for us when we had a good defence, not a bad set of forwards (Merse, Rocky, Anders) and a midfield of baggage men. Think back to the Jensens, Hilliers, Schwartzs, Sellys and Morrows…really without a creative brain in their collective heads. Even The Romford Pele was very young and still with so much to learn.

Thus if Wrighty was playing, the one thought that seemed to pervade Arsenal’s play was “Bang it somewhere near Wrighty and he’ll do the rest.” And did he ever do it. Now try to imagine Thierry in those circumstances…. ‘Le Pout’ might have been double the size.

Thierry’s silky skills aided and abetted by the Vieiras, Pires and Bergkamps made scoring a great deal easier for Thierry. Wright really had to work at it.

Which leads me to comparing techniques. To my mind Wrighty’s directness leaves the feeling that purely as a striker, he shades it. There’s the ball. There’s the goal. To hell with any defenders. There’s a gap. Shoot. More often than not, a first time shot out of the blue at that. 1-0 to the Arsenal.

The first time shot was far less common with Thierry. His pace and ball control skills allowed him to set himself up more often than not…though who could decry Wright’s ball control when scoring against Everton? Certainly as good as Bobby Pires lobbing Schmeikel in the Villa game.

Be interesting to hear other views. For sure I think we might just find a place for either of them at their peak even now when the whole side wants to score!

Football rumours from www.uthinkuknowfootball..com

* Manchester City will resist any attempt by Barcelona to sign forward Robinho in the transfer window. "Robinho remains an integral part of our squad," said a City source. "Any notion of a loan deal or a permanent deal is totally without foundation. We have had no contact from Barcelona and nor would we encourage it." (Manchester Evening News)


* European champions Barcelona will test Manchester City's resolve to keep Brazilian forward Robinho by offering to take the player on a six-month loan should the Blues reject a £32.5m bid. (Daily Mirror)


* Alternatively, Barca will offer City French striker Thierry Henry in exchange for Robinho. (Daily Star)


* Hull City boss Phil Brown is tracking Aarhus' Danish international midfielder Jakob Poulsen ahead of a transfer window move. (Daily Mirror )


* Inter Milan midfielder Sulley Muntari has insisted he will not be leaving Italy to join Tottenham this summer. (The Sun)


* Atletico Madrid have reiterated their desire to sign Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Eboue, a move which could embroil them in a "tapping-up" row. (Daily Mirror )


* The Gunners also face a fight to keep hold of young Spanish midfielder Fran Merida who is wanted by Sevilla. (Daily Mirror )


* Chelsea will attempt to sign Middlesbrough winger Adam Johnson next summer if their appeal against their transfer ban, imposed for tapping up, is successful. (The Times)


* Leeds are set to sign Wolves striker Sam Vokes on loan until January. (Daily Mail)


* Stoke want defender Ryan Shawcross to sign a new four-year deal to ward off interest from Tottenham, Liverpool and Everton, who are all considering January bids for the player. (The Sun)


* Portsmouth are hoping to sign on-loan Tottenham midfielder Jamie O'Hara on a permanent basis. The 22-year-old's temporary deal at Fratton Park expires in January. (The Sun)


* Sheffield United are weighing up a £2m bid for Blackburn's third-choice keeper Mark Bunn. (The Sun)


* Sheffield United defender Matthew Kilgallon is being tracked by Bolton, Wigan and Burnley after contract talks between him and the Blades broke down. (Daily Mail )

OTHER GOSSIP

* LA Galaxy midfielder David Beckham has played his way into Fabio Capello's squad for next year's World Cup, as has Tottenham striker Peter Crouch. (The Sun)


* New Birmingham owner Carson Yeung has promised to go on an £80m spending spree next year with half available to manager Alex McLeish in January and half the following summer. (The Sun)


* Newcastle caretaker boss Chris Hughton has admitted he wants to take the reins at St James' Park on a permanent basis. (Daily Mirror)


* Alan Leighton, the representative of referee's union Prospect, says that Sir Alex Ferguson's apology to referee Alan Wiley for labelling him "unfit" shows that managers can no longer get away with abusing officials. (Daily Mirror)


* Bolton have complained to referee's chief Keith Hackett that striker Kevin Davies is being victimised by officials because of his previous poor disciplinary record. (Daily Mirror)


* Argentine midfielder Juan Sebastian Veron has warned his national coach Diego Maradona has got eight months to save the country from World Cup humiliation. Argentina scraped through to the 2010 finals in South Africa via a nervy 1-0 win over Uruguay last weekend. (Daily Mirror)

AND FINALLY,

* Sunderland manager Steve Bruce has joked that his controversial decision to pick David Beckham as man-of-the-match for Wednesday's England match against Belarus was because two-goal striker Peter Crouch rejected a summer move to the Stadium of Light. (Daily Mirror )


* Tottenham midfielder Wilson Palacios is set to miss Spurs' game at Portsmouth on Saturday after Interim Honduras President Roberto Micheletti told the national team's players, including Palacios, to stay in the country and party following their qualification for the 2010 World Cup. (Daily Mirror)

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only. In Wenger We Trust! by finidinwa1: 12:34pm On Oct 14, 2009
Barcelona have considered reviving their interest in Arsenal star Andrey Arshavin.

Barca made a move to Arshavin last January before he agreed a transfer to the Gunners and remain keen on the Russia international.

Sport says Arshavin is on Barca's agenda should they fail to prise Robinho away from Manchester City in the New Year.

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / The New Improved Arsenal by finidinwa1: 11:54am On Oct 14, 2009
[center]The New Improved Arsenal[/center]
Three important incidents in the game against Blackburn Rovers revealed the small characteristics of Arsenal today that are contributing to what might be a positive season.

Thomas Vermaelen was fouled, fell to the floor and got up again without moaning at the referee. He didn't get up and cover his defensive position given that he was by now almost in the opposition third. He got up and stormed forward to add a 5th offensive player and then made it one-nil. Not long after, Francesc Fabregas was fouled in almost the same spot and before the referee had time to point a free kick, Cesc was up and played a quick free-kick and the second goal came in.

These are the type of fouls that not only used to deflate the team but would get them moaning and playing straight into the hands of the opponents. Arsène Wenger would be complaining to the fourth official. This time before Wenger could make it to the fourth official, he was forced to cut his journey short and start celebrating.

Third important event was Vermaelen's all important first goal. Arsenal are so dependent on their first goal. When it comes with plenty of game left to play, they nearly always win. Right now, Vermaelen is proving a very important first goal getter. It settles the team down. Since Vieira, Arsenal has not had a mean player. Flamini was nearly there but now we have Vermaelen and he makes a huge difference.

Learning is very difficult when you don't get reward for the things you are required to learn to fix. Arsenal getting up from challenges and getting on with it is being rewarded with goals. That's a very powerful positive feedback and that should ensure that the team keeps it up.

To be honest, Blackburn barely had a team but these games are potential banana skins because such teams usually defend better in numbers and can nick goals – they managed two at the emirates. In addition, you need these games for bonding – to execute more easily the things that you do in training on match days that confirm to the players that it is possible on the pitch. Winning is good for winning the next game.

Last season, Arsenal had a dream fixture list for the first 10 games but they lost the championship in those games. Without being able to excel in those "easy" games, the team carried low self-esteem into games with more difficult teams and were easily beaten out of the race. I'd rather we drew against Manchester United and beat Fulham and Aston Villa than the other way round.
