According to Ade gooners brutally abused him all last season, something that is so far from reality it beggars belief. The players who REALLY got abused, and badly, last season were Eboue and Bendtner. Even Denilson got more abuse than Ade.

I can't agree with the 'good D' notion, as Mannone was forced into being the man of the match. I agree on Diaby; he sometimes has some incredible ability on the ball, but he doesn't commit to defense. In this 4-3-3, Denilson should be chosen over him every time, which is unfortunate, seeing as he will be out for two Drewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025322046446330547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328101106494598665.post-86553617472621044442009-09-27T19:53:28.903+01:002009-09-27T19:53:28.903+01:00Also, point of interest - I was in Mad-Chester thi...Also, point of interest - I was in Mad-Chester this weekend and had lunch in the same place as Fergie.<br /><br />Really wanted to go down on one knee and punch himin his Scottish bollocks.

There were doubts about this boy (certainly I had no confidence in him), but he really put in a wonderful performance. Take your pick of the saves he made. For me, the header he saved from Zamora off the corner was stupendous.<br /><Rhinogoonernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328101106494598665.post-51502191559780694942009-09-26T18:35:28.888+01:002009-09-26T18:35:28.888+01:00HT and it's 0-0.
