Yeah, because Rafa ruined him, innit. Pay attention.

its funny, Redknapp fans would have you believe Spurs were an established relegation battling side when he took over and somehow massively improved them.
Fact is Spurs were the established 5th side fighting for 4th, they sold their main striking partnership and Pav/Modric took a couple months to adjust, since then Spurs have been exactly where you'd expect, except of course spending a lot more on wages with a bigger squad making a loss....... who would have guessed that when he was appointed
I find it utterly hilarious Wenger thinks a non injury prone player doing some light training and a few games will kill him, but Fabregas, with the same injury being redone constantly who played all summer, is rushed back for games time after time then played for the full 90 minutes every game till he's reinjured.
Theres about 10 games this season that subbing Cesc from 60 or so mins on would have been completely safe, games were were utterly dominant and leading by either a small or massive margin. Instead he played him till the last seconds, replacing people without the same injury issues, and then Cesc gets reinjured.
Essentially Wenger's opinion on how much and when people should play is irrelevant, he's a complete idiot on the subject.
Hell if Cesc wasn't injured as much we may have won the title as we are so completely different with and without him.
Any sports science/doctor/anything will tell you the chances of injury increase over time as you exercise, IE chance of injury in the final 10 minutes is exponentially higher than the first 10 mins.
let him play, he wants to play, no reason not to, its only the under 21's but still a chance to actually win something for England and have someone whose won something in the team, something we're short on.

Heh, well, I think managers of all teams hold a little sway with their players like that?

Pretty much.
It's just club V country argument again. Clubs won this time, with Caroll and Wilshire. Does the National team no good, and there is really no excuse as to why a few more games and some more light training would "damage" a 19/20 year old professional sportsman.

Well to be fair, we were at the bottom of the league on the 2nd of december or whatever it was. I've not heard fellow spurs fans myself say that we were an established relegation battling team. More the "what on earth are we still doing down there, this isn't how it's supposed to be" sort of angle. Redknapp came in and just put that confidence back in them all. The majority of the squad was of course there.
And I agree the selling of the main striking partnership ruined us. But then with both Keane and Berba wanting to play for the teams they've "supported since childhood" there was very little we could do.
The squad is a bit too big. Nobody would disagree with that and we obviously all want to trim it. The club and supporters alike. But I don't think the current wage set up has left us in trouble by any means. Daniel Levy and Joe Lewis are too shrewd to let it get like that.

Hah that's ridiculous.
And I dunno what you're laughing about, you'll not be able to hear the other side of the stadium in a couple of years.

The only reason we're not last is because 1) There's 60,000 of us and 2) Away fans.
You could fall asleep at the emirates sometimes. Also...
If they did that during spurs/man u/chelsea then we'd be top.

Not sure that's a statement I'd be proud of making. I'm proud our fans turn up regardless of who we're playing.

A fair few times this season at Anfield you couldn't even make out there were any away fans in the ground (and atmosphere at Anfield was crap this year), yet on the Sky coverage it looks like we'r being consistently out noised by 3k or so away fans.
I also love how every pic on that shows the teams fans chanting and celebrating, except Everton .. which is just a pic of them abusing Stevie G Lol.
