Arsenal Player Setting Himself Up For Disappointment

Ryan Giggs has probably enjoyed the best football career ever, with his only disappointment being Wales’ failure to compete on an international stage. He has played more games for Manchester United player than anyone ever, he’s won eleven league titles, two European Cups, four FA Cups, two League Cups, amongst others, and just last season was named the PFA Player of the Year, seventeen years after he won the PFA Young Player of the Year.

Arsenal’s young forward has claimed he is aspiring to be as successful as Giggsy, although when Walcott’s age, Giggs already had a league title, FA Cup and League Cup to his name.

“I want to look back on my career and the number of trophies I have won,” said Walcott. “Ryan Giggs is the perfect example of that – he has won everything out there. I want to be remembered for that so I can show my kids and grandkids what I have won in my career.”

    Walcott isn’t anywhere near Giggs’s ability and I am an Arsenal fan.

  2. bjohnson says:

    No Problem – All Theo needs to do is learn how to dribble, beat a player with the ball, cross, control the ball, and finish

  3. Micky says:

    Theo Walcott should stick to F1 to be frank.

  4. Troy says:

    Oh the nerve of Theo picking a great player to try and emulate. Shame on him. He should know his place and not bother attempting to improve when it’s so far beyond him.

  5. Micky says:

    Well said Troy. I agree with that completely. He should choose someone with about 30% of Gigg’s ability. Bergkamp. Or Fabregas.

  6. Tom says:

    Yeah we all know giggs is a crock and walcott could run rings around him all day long……. Ooops! Did I just say what everyone is thinking!?

  7. Ade says:

    Hey Micky……. am an Arsenal Fan and respect and admire Giggs, Walcott is no way near Giggs and cant be but please Giggs is no way near Bergkamp

  8. Gudjohnsen says:

    The only chance of Walcott getting a trophy list like Giggs has is by playing Playstation 3.

  9. some one says:

    walcott can become as good as giggs if not better and the only reason giggs is such a legend is becuase of club acheivements, he has not won ballon’dor and fifa world player ONCE that says alot whereas walcott is only 20 and need to be able to score to become better than giggs…your welcome to hate me becuase i wont bother coming back to this site anyways…

  10. MusicMan says:

    Common guys…. Giggs played with Beckhams and Scholses and Keanes….:) Theo plays with Djourou and Bendtner… ok , Arshavin too… but still, Arsenal plays figure skating on the hockey field… so….. you can not expect too much off him….

  11. gooner says:

    Giggsy was a great player.
    But Bergkamp walked on water.

  12. jespermoses says:

    I think the way Walcott has been treated in the press pretty bad.He was hyped up so much after his hatrick in Croatia and then a bad half to the end of last season and the same people are saying ‘we never rated him’,'he’s not got what it takes’ blah blah.

    Don’t get me wrong he’ll never be as good as Giggsy,thats plain to see,but i dont like the way the media build up players as if they are world beaters.

  13. Alan F says:

    If giggs had bothered to turn up for few more welsh matches he might have a bit more success with them.

  14. Micky says:

    Giggs > O’Shea > Bergkamp

  15. Drabik says:

    I do think you lot are being a little harsh. Every player/person/kid dreams of being the best at what they do, and look up at the most successful people, knowing full well that they may not ever acheive that success, but using that as a motivation to fulfil their own dreams.

    Walcott probably wont win as many trophies as Giggs. He will probably not be as good as Giggs. He may not command the respect as Giggs either. The point is, so what, 99.99% of players wont win as much as Giggs, but that doesnt mean that they will disappointed that they won’t reach his successes.

    If Walcott does become a Grandfather one day, I’m sure his grandchildren will love to watch videos of him as a player, playing for one of the underacheivers in the premier league. He’s played in many important games for Arsenal. He’s also played many games for England, and scored that superd hattrick against Croatia. In fact, he could retire now and be perfectly happy with what he has acheived, even if he hasnt won the league or won PFA player of the year. Don’t let the lack of his team’s successes be a reason for a players lack of ability.

    Giggs was lucky. He is a great player that found his way in to the hands of a great manager, who built many great teams. Giggs has never been THE STAR at united, but one of many. That is perhaps why he has never won the ballon d’or. If he was the only star in an underacheiving team, then he would have stood out even more than he has in his career, and maybe won those honours he deserved.

  16. Scott the Red says:

    Alan F – 64 caps. That’s 2 less than Tony Adams and Giggs didn’t have World Cups and Euros to go to.

  17. k says:

    Not worth wasting your breathe on this lot Drabik. As far as they’re concerned, success is being sat in front of their computer slagging off everybody elses achievements.

  18. Rollins says:

    “Giggs > O’Shea > Bergkamp”
    Well said Micky.

  19. Giles Oakley says:

    In the early stages of his United career Giggs was not surrounded by world class players – good , yes, but not great – yet he immediately established himself as a potential ‘all-time-great’, which is exactly what he has become. Even at the age of 17, when I first saw him play, he was being held up as ‘the new George Best’, which never became the burden it might have done. One of the remarkable things about him has been his consistency, even when the team is going through mediocre periods. Of course he’s had dips in form, but never for long, and when he ‘comes back’ it’s not primarily because of the efforts of those around him. He’s always been driven by deep personal reserves of pride and team spirit, plus the desire to improve all the time.The other thing that’s worth pointing out is that, on top of his personal adaptability in terms of playing as an out-and-out winger, or a central midfielder, or as a support striker (or even, in emergencies, a great left back) he’s also been able to adapt to all sorts of different formations, almost always built round the needs of someone else. Fergie has been able to put him in any team at any time, regardless of the line-up or formation, and know he’ll still deliver, as he did again on Sunday in the Community Shield against Chelsea, when he came on as a late sub and threaded that exquisite through-ball to Rooney, who gratefully snapped it up and scored majestically. Good luck to Walcott and the other young Gunners. It’s good to see their willingness to look beyond partisanship and acknowledge greatness in players from other teams. Likewise I’d admit that Dennis Bergkamp was a tremendous player. My one regret about him was that, when his parents supposedly named him after Denis Law they couldn’t spell his name correctly. That maybe explains why he won so few medals compared to our Giggsy.

  20. Mr Scooch says:

    Think you people are all being a bit stupid here! Rather than accepting what one of our players has said to acknowledge the skill and career of one of your players (and he IS a great player) you’re coming out and saying that he’ll never make it!

    Thought it’d be a bit too much for you lot to have a little humility.

    Anyway as many people have mentioned on here already Giggs is good, BUT he’s no Bergkamp!!!

  21. Micky says:

    We’re all being stupid but you’re saying Bergkamp is better than Giggs?

    You’re off your trolley!

  22. gunnergee says:

    Are you guys so much haters that even when our players are complementing yours,you still have that much veneom to cuss him for complimenting your player and having ambitions to replicate his success?

    no class at all!

  23. gunnergee says:

    playmakers are always better than wingers!

    thats bergkamp is better than giggs and why kaka is better than Cronaldo

  24. Gerry Gooner says:

    How many trophies did George Best win? BY your logic Giggs is better than him. what is wrong wih a young player looking to another for inspiration. Don’t even get me started with Giggs and Bergkamp- not fit to lace his boots.

  25. Micky says:

    @Gerry Gooner

    Why are you even here? This is a Man Utd blog.

    To all the Gooners out there….

    The truest mark of greatness is how much respect you get from your peers…

    Alessandro Del Piero once said that there are two players who make him cry….and one of them was Giggs….(the other one was definitely not bergkamp)

    Zidane himself said that if Giggs was French, he himself would have never made it to the French National team….

    That is the kind of regard that people had for Giggsy….
    Grow some Brains all you Gooner cunts!!

  28. Mr Scooch says:

    As I said, a little humility from you people wouldn’t go amiss. Don’t think any Gooners on here are saying that Giggs isn’t a good (or even great) player. No wonder everyone seems to dislike you pricks!

    And as for why are we on here? If your websites mention our players then it shows up on Arsenal Newsnow….. Brains!!!

    Why are you even here? This is a Man Utd blog.

    —————————-

    Well, this Man United blog has written an article about an Arsenal player. He has every right to come here

  30. Micky says:

    Not really.

    An Arsenal blog could write about how Rooney is only fit to lace Walcott’s boots if they wanted, doesn’t mean I’m going to flock to it.

  31. Gerry Gooner says:

    A Man Utd blog quoting Arsenal players..idiot.

    Show me a quote about Ryan Giggs and I’ll give you 20 about Bergkamp.

    Heard it all before from you lot…I remember being on this blog a while ago as you attempted to argue that Cantona was better than Henry. Hilarious. Then there was Van Nistelrooy better than Henry.

    All your players are better than whoever. Difference is most other supporters can bring themselves to acknowledge the ability of opposition players- Giggs was a great player. He won last years award out of charity though.

  32. Micky says:

    Henry is a good player, in fact I’d go as far as to say he’s better than Dong.

    But Cantona > Henry

    And Giggs > Bergkamp

  33. Micky says:

    It’s amazing though, it really is.

    You have the best players in the world, but yet you always win fuck all.

  34. wazza (Bezi) says:

    @Giles : quality post mate

  35. Gerry Gooner says:

    Micky every player you had between 1967 and 1992 must have been shit so. Best etc. He won f all. Never said we had the best players in the world- that honour seems to be reserved exclusively for your lot.

    (Henry won more than Cantona though)- unless you count beach soccer weight watcher awards.

  36. Retro Riley says:

    Bertie Mee said to Matt Busby……………

  37. Micky says:

    Best never won fuck all?

    He won three league titles and the European Cup.

  38. Micky says:

    Sorry, he won 2 league titles, not 3.

  39. terry_cry_baby says:

    I have read a lot of Arse’ fans comments (in English based websites and Vietnamese based websites) and I find one freaking funny thing. They always say the same thing:
    - Henry > all of our players, that include King Eric, Scholes, Giggsy, Van the Man, Rooney, Ronnie….
    - The same goes for Bergkamp
    - Pires is better than most of our wingers, that may even include giggsy
    - Vieira is better than keano
    - petit/vieira, or gilberto/vieira are the best central couple ever in the premier league history.
    Campbell is equal to, or better than Rio, or Vida
    Then I wanna ask every single one of them, how the hell can Arse only win 3 leagues, while we have won like fourth times more??????
    And ok, if they wanna talk about the time of Japonaise Wenger, it is still almost three times my dear.
    And it is not just about EPL, in CL, we performed better than them in almost every seasons, except for a few (two seasons i believe).
    Sooooooooooooooo, how the hell can you Arse have every single player better than us????? Woa, this is beyond me. Your team has almost every single position better than us, and we outperform you guys.
    Well, my view is, Bergkamp is an exceptional player, but football is not about how you play the ball as we are not only watching circus, it comes to how you perform overall, and your contribution and your consistence. And, you know, Giggs is a better player. It is not just about trophies, it is how he adopts to our new playing style, performs well in almost every single match he has a chance to play, and acts as a mentality base for the whole team in a lot of seasons. And if you wanna count how many times that Giggs/Bergkamp contribute anything to the winning of EPL and CL, I can do it with you.
    Almost the same goes for the other players’ comparison. And one thing I recommend is that, take Fergie’s word: We are the winners, so, we have more power to talk. Losers should not compare yourselves to winners, as the facts say it all.
    Football can be a painful game, and as a matter of fact, we have taken less pain than you guys. And don’t even bother talking about one of the greatest players of our history.

    I do like this blog but really there’s no need to slate Walcott for idolozing Giggs. What’s the problem? theres no problem with the kid having a good role model in Giggsy!.

  41. Micky says:

    I think Arsenal are the only team in the league that are content with an underachieving manager year in year out.

    “Going through a team building phase” etc etc

    Fergie has had how many generations of teams? Three, four? Never stopped winning trophies though has he?!

    __________________________________________________________

    Didn’t Van Basten say that if Giggs was worth 20 million pounds, Bergkamp was worth 100 million pounds?

  43. Marko says:

    Ha someone said Giggs was better than Bergkamp. I’m not gonna get into a slagging match cause while Giggs has been a great player Dennis Bergkamp was one of the greatest players of his generation who’s played at the highest level and at World Cup’s while Giggs has been at United his whole career. He’s a great player but I could of won titles in some of the United teams he’s play with. And on Walcott, I think he’s just talking of a player’s accomplisments that he’d like to emulate.

  44. Marko says:

    Hey Micky are you an idiot or something? The amount of money Fergie’s spent over the years on players is ridiculous. I could manage and wins things with the resources he’s had over the years. You just saying these things to get a reaction you can’t be that stupid.

  45. izham says:

    u lot should be proud that a fellow professional named one of ur own, someone he wants to emulate (achievement wise). giggs is a great player, a great winger who uses his SPEED to good use. Bergkamp is light years ahead of giggs, he doesn’t need his speed, but his brain,vision,technique and skills to mesmerise both the audience and opponents. giggs provide us with moments of magic, but Bergkamp makes miracles happens (goal against newcastle).

  46. izham says:

    anyway all the best to all teams for the coming campaign..peace out

  47. RedMegleeker says:

    As Micky says stick to the oul Formula 1 mate and of course bucking Pussy Cat Dolls.

    As for the ever raging debate about whether or not other footie fans should venture onto other foot fans’ blogs, i think its only right that there are infiltrators.

    Its not the Stretford End we’re on here and stood beside a fat cunt with 5 stars tattooed on his right arm (original that) and a Liver Bird on his neck (dick).

    Let the slagging and anonymous baiting continue….beats hooliganism!!

    How many british transfer records have ulot set?

    How long has fergie been in charge?

    we can have nothing but respect for man utd achievements no arse fan doubts that even if they hate your team, shame some of you guys dont have as much class!

  50. MICHELDU9 says:

    hello brain dead morons.idiots plastic fans call yourself what you wish, jack wilshire is far superior to them both now.never mind in the future.he is 17 .capello says he could be up there with pele marradona etc

  51. kiko_mac says:

    you cant compare giggs to bergkamp! they played 2 totally different positions! Both have different types of attributes, but both class acts!!

    The difference is Bergkamp is one of the greatest strikers to play in the premier league and Giggs is one of the greatest wingers, two totally different types of players!

    Obviously with me being a United fan, I love Ryan Giggs but I think Bergkamp is a class act as well, but honestly to say that Bergkamp is lightyears ahead of Giggs is just an act of delusion!!

    Two totally different players but both class players!!

    @Marko

    Giggs has played at the highest level his whole life and we did not go out and start to spend, we started winning things on youth, which alot of people said at the time ‘that united wont win things with kids’. So you can take that back, werent you’s lot not calling for Arsene Wengers head because he wont spend in public (the reason why i said in public because he spends millions upon millions in compensation for youth players that is not brought upon the media attention) but after all the success he has brought you’s!

    The funny thing is that most people that complain that United buy their success are the same people that are crying that their club wont spend even though they have the money!! Jealousy??? catch yourself on man!!

  52. King Eric says:

    MICHELDUB – Shut up you patronising cunt. Who are you? Jack Wilshire looks a great “prospect” but to compare him to the Giggsmeister is a fucking joke pal. He has played about TWO games. When he has played over 800 and won 11 titles then come back and compare. As for plastic, pot, kettle and black spring to mind. Jog on.

  53. gunnergee says:

    didnt you set a record for roy keane at the time…. anyways spending money is no guarantee so thats why you have to respect fergie’s achievements but you have spent money consistently.

    Those calling for arsenal to spend money like the likes of real madrid, chelsea, man utd are the ones forgetting that it wasnt long ago when we were regarded as smaller teams than everton, villa, liverpool etc. The fact that we have punched well above our weight for so many yrs is cause of the manager. those calling for his head have no perpective much like the prawn sandwich eating brigade roy keane was talking about.

    if we do do it with youth it will be the sweetest feeling and a big fuck you to all the doubter who say you have to sell your soul to compete!

  54. willierednut says:

    Did’nt viera cost more or less the same as keano, anyway you cant compare giggs and berkamp they played in 2 different positions, both were great players though. In terms of henry and cantona id say henry just, campbell better rio no fucking way. Now for keano and viera, roy keane is for me the best midfielder in the premiership era, yes even better than stevie me.

  55. andsolskjærhaswonit... says:

    @ Marko:
    u are yet another person from the delusional lot out there who claim money was the sole reason for our success over the last 2 decades. Mate, tell me actually how much did Giggsy’s, Scholesy’s, Beckham’s n Neville’s of this world cost us.? Not a single penny.
    and our success in the mid 90′s n the late 90′s was based on our homegrown lads n not on £30m marquee signings. Our KIDS were the force behind which made us the team to beat. (Ask Scouse Bastard, Alan Hansen, Eh.?) We have been constantly successful and have thus made loads of money. Its not Rocket Science, Eh.? Is it.?
    And now when u have the money why not fecking use it.??
    I know many gooners who are crying for Wenger to spend the cash.
    Regarding the person who compared Jack ‘i have scored TWO goals’ Wilshere with Sir Ryan Giggs is a absolute dickhead, with a Capital ‘D’.
    About Theo, wel he can dream all he lyk but he will never even come close to emulate the most decorated player in the British History.

  56. willierednut says:

    @Micheldu9
    Your calling us plastic fans, were you one of the fans that left wen ronny scored his 2nd in the european cup 2nd leg fucking cheek.

  57. Cadelin says:

    All Walcott would need to do to realise his dream of winning things is get a transfer to United … or am I just saying what everyone else is thinking ?

    Bergkamp was brilliant but given a choice between him or Giggs would see the Welshman in my team every day of the week.

  58. Jonny says:

    Nice attitude. I notice whenever a rival player compliments United or one of their players this blog sneers at them. Walcott won’t be the same player Giggs was, but if he improves a few aspects of his game I think he can come close to Giggs’ level of ability in his prime.

  59. willierednut says:

    Arsenal fans never talk shite about united jonny, come on man its called banter mate.

  60. Wiggsman says:

    Man u > Arsenal last 60 years.

    Honestly given how well Giggsy and Bergkamp played for both teams, and the impact they had……..who would you have rather signed if both managers had the same options but 1 choice ?

    a) Giggsy as a youth player
    b) Bergkamp after Inter Millan

    Id take the Giggsy trade every time

  61. King Eric says:

    Willierednut – I disagree mate. Cantona > Henry. NO player comes close to Eric. Not just his talent but his whole charisma and character. With regard to Keano couldn’t agree more. Stevie Me ain’t fit to lace Roy’s boots. Not even in the same ball park. It is a myth that Gerrard is an all action central midfielder. He cannot be trusted to play that role, he is not disciplined enough.

  62. King Eric says:

    Jonny – Fair point but Theo is now what 20? Giggsy was tearing teams apart and twisting defenders inside out at the highest level when he was only 17 .

  63. Jonny says:

    King Eric- Fair enough mate, Giggs was incredible from a very young age, but development is different for different players- Jack Wilshere is a good example, already looking incredibly sharp for a 17 year old, but that doesn’t garuntee he’ll be world class in the future. Same with Theo, he has a lot of development ahead of him, just because he’s not top class now doesn’t mean he can’t make it in the future.

  64. gunnergee says:

    Wiggsman Said,
    August 11th, 2009 @21:24

    Giggs is a legend to me but he was tearing teams apart when defences were weaker than they are now. with the foreign imports id say rooney doing what he is doing now is playing at a higher level as the prem is better than 10-15 yrs ago. bergkamp as a youth was close to genius until he moved to inter and lost his confidence.

  65. LOL @ Wenger says:

    Was reading through the comments and someone brought up the excuse that United have spent more than Arsenal.

    Would you rather spend big on a couple of players and win trophies, or try to convince yourself at the end of every season that your players are too young to compete?

    Your big money move last season was Arshavin, he’s been fuckin brilliant already and can only get better, it shows paying the big bucks brings in alot more quality.

    As for Berkamp/Giggs thingy,

    Giggs all the way, Berkamp was a genius with the ball at his feet, but Giggs is just a Premiership legend!

  66. Wiggsman says:

    Im not comparing both players talents as youths – Im saying that given the times that both players were at the clubs which player would you have rathered.

    We all know both players would have flourished at both clubs – I personally think that Bergkamp would have achieved greater things at Man Utd.

    Its a classic comment associated with Bestie….but what would Giggs ahve achieved if he played for England, infact I bet every English man would admit he is the one player they would have loved to had in their team.

  67. manutd4eve says:

    i think this argument is none sense. in EPL heres no one can compared to sir giggsy he is legends of legend full stop. dont waste ur time with asenil fans like kid walcott said he want to achieve what sir giggsy achieved in his career. same thing arsenil fans talk always neve no the history. do u morans compare with berkhamp with giggsy? cantona with henry? viera with keano? et etc dont u guys think that u r joking? personally i do admire berkhamp he was a good player and even i thought of berkhamp playing for us but didnt. for arsenil quality yes berckhamp henry viera etc etc best but manutd quality i would say only viera. but neve compare to keano. just shut up and get on with the fact arsenil is just arsenil. manutd is one of the great along side real ac milan bayern.

  68. small_mats says:

    Zidane himself said that if Giggs was French, he himself would have never made it to the French National team…

    …………..

    Were did you hear that shit…. He never ever said that.

    Gigg’s has nothing on Zidane…. what Giggs could do with a football, Zidane could do with an orange.

  69. theboogeyman says:

    Giggsy>Bergkamp.End of.

  70. Abhay_RedDevilTillDeath says:

    @ bergy

    If you think that Van Basten = Zidane then i really do feel sorry for you…..
    Besides Van basten was a dutchman just like Bergkamp, he is bound to be biased…

    So get your head out of your arse and as I said grow some brains!!!

  71. 20legend says:

    Possibly the most shiite comments i’ve seen on one topic. Ever. Sad to say there are quite a few United fans making those comments here too. Dennis Bergkamp was a fantastic player. I can see it, even through my red-tinted glasses. He cannot be compared to Giggs though because Giggs doesn’t play in the same position. Giggs has won more trophies and holds United’s appearance record. He is a legend. Bergkamp won less than O’Shea. FACT as the FSW would say. But that doesn’t describe what great ability he had. Credit where it’s due lads. We shouldn’t be slagging off Bergkamp. It’s not a relevant comparison and he definitely was a brilliant player in terms of ability if not medals. Is he better than Giggsy? Who the fuck knows for sure? I would have loved to have had them both together at United.

    As for those Arse fans getting their panties in a bunch over the actual article… Walcott is never going to win as many trophies as Giggs. Hell, I don’t think there is a single player in history who has won so much and was so respected in his career. So, YES he is setting himself up for disappointment. Especially considering Arse-nal’s recent trophy-winning success (or lack thereof). And yes, Cantona>Henry. So is van Nistelrooy for that matter. Cantona is greater than anyone you lot name, because he started it all off. So, in effect he is behind a lot more success than just those of 6 years. Van Nistelrooy is better than Henry because he was a better finisher than him. 150 in 219 games compared to 226 in 370. End of.

  72. Arselicked says:

    The way you people talk, one would think that one man makes the team.

    Its rather foolish

  73. rosskenny says:

    Alan F – fuck you! make few more appearances and all that bollocks. you ever been to watch wales play, do you see the shit he had to play with? lost 1-0 to russia in a play off otherwise hed have made it to a major tournament then all this shit bout it being the only missing thing from his career. do you think he actually thinks that himself, after winning everything? really. or u think that he just remembers all the titles hes won , hes probably played every player thats been to a world cup anyway amount of football hes played.

    what a dickhead you are to even make that comment.

    as far as the whole bergkamp thing, of course hes better, records speak for themselves. different positions ? so what! when was anyone mentioning bergkamp before intermilan. i remember the days when inter milan were going to offer the world record (£!5+) for giggsy years before alan shearer set the record. what was bergkamp doin?

    both will be remembered by their respective clubs as legends, but like someone said earlier, when you got players like del piero (and theres bound to be others) complimenting him like that and not ones from their own home country it means something.

    god did mean to rant but Alan F u fucked me off !

    Wiggsman – less of the Man U please!

    Jack Wilshere is nothing but potential. Give me Macheda over him anyday.

    This kind of post always stirs up this kind of reaction.

    There is nothing wrong with Theo Walcott wanting to emulate Ryan Giggs.
    It is one of the greatest compliments along with comments from Zidance and Del Piero.

    There is no shame in it and that is from a United fan.
    Atleast he is looking up to the right kind of role model!

    Jack Wilshere is nothing but potential? Trust youve never watched him play then?

  77. willierednut says:

    Wilshire is just potential at the minute, 1 good game against rangers does’nt make em a great player.

  78. Wiggsman says:

    why?

    Giggs > O’shea > Djemba (2x) > Kleberson > Bergkamp

    How bout this for a comparison
    98/99 FA Cup Semi-Final
    Giggs won it for us, but the side story was that before that happened, Bergkemp couldnt score a penalty at win the game against a crocked Schmeichel!

  81. Jonny says:

    Wilsheres been fantastic every time he’s played. The press only picked up on the Rangers game because of his brace. Last pre-season he was incredible also against Real Madrid and Stuttgart. He’s not a great player yet but he’s showing all the right signs.

  82. willierednut says:

    Of puberty jonny.

  83. TH14 says:

    Macheda is good player, but he scored one fucking great goal against Aston Villa and the other goal was lucky one. Carrick did it for him. Wilshere is complete joy, though. He impressed against Real Madrid one year ago. He was one of the Carling Cup kids and he impressed this summer against Atletti and Rangers. You missed his play so better watch him on YouTube.

    On the Giggs, Bergkamp thing, they were both great but Bergkamp was absolute joy. He was the best foreign player in the EPL, the worlds best forward at that time and may be you missed watching him play for Holland. Did Giggs impress Welsh internationals?

    And for Henry, he was far more better than all Man United’s, Chelsea’s and Liverpool’s forwards. Scores count and you have seen how much he scored for Arsenal less than a decade. Even Adrew Cole was better than Van Nistelrooy, he scored a lot and he’s an Arsenal DNA too.

    Anyways, Walcott should change his idol to Shearer like ‘I want to score as many as Alan Shearer’. The kid did nothing to make Giggs his idol. United fans don’t take the respect for their players.

  84. Stephen says:

    Giggs played for a second rate side in Wales and Bergkamp played for one of the top Eueopean sides, no really a fair comparison there.

  85. willierednut says:

    Your boring th14, henry was a great player, so was bergkamp but both tanked in italy so wats your to that.

  86. Stephen says:

    TH14, you are also talking complete bollocks, bar the obvious twaddle which I have brought up, Cole was not better than Ruud you Gooners need to get over him.
    Bergkamp the Worlds best striker and will give you a hand here, lets say here 1998, What better than Ronaldo, Shevchenko, Crespo, Batistuta?
    Andy Cole scored more league goals than the Dutch Mr T and as you say so well, “scores count”.

  87. OTRed says:

    Seriously Arsenal fans must be the only fans in the world who are content with mocking other teams for spending and then taking the moral high ground after their team fall short every season.

  88. Manchuchu says:

    Since we’re going to compare apples to volkswagens…

    Schmeichal > Bergkamp.

    How about King Kong to Donkey Kong?

    Schmeichal > David Semen

    Or Arsenal logic…

    Schmeichal > Optimus Prime

    Or by what Dr Dre said about Bergkamp?

    And doctor dre said…

    ” ”

    Nothing you idiots.. Doctor dre’s dead and till today the best goal the Gayness ever scored is still Nigel Winterburn’s.
