the hilarious thing is Hleb of all of those, managed to win the champs league in another country AND come back and get the league cup against Arsenal, and he was too crap to actually play for Barca and Brum barely played him because he was so crap.
Yet Wenger favoured Hleb over Pires, one of the three best players ever at Arsenal, and Reyes, who was very very good and miles better than Hleb.
Both Pires and Reyes have said before that the champs league final was the final straw for them, Reyes was dropped for Hleb completely despite Reyes contributing significantly, he started eleven god damned games and was very good, yet Hleb got the nod for the final, then when Lehman got sent off we took off Pires rather than Hleb, I think both decisions cost us in that game badly.
