ANR reply from Toby Robinson
Hi Myles.
I will never forget a couple of years ago Arsene said “This team deserves to win something.”
Arsene is bringing all these young players into the football world to believe they deserve to win things because they play beautiful football without actually having achieved it.
The ONLY time you can say you deserve something is when you have actually achieved it, not a moment before.
This current Arsenal squad are a mirror of Arsene’s personality.
I can say this because Arsene built this whole team and squad from scratch, almost every squad members football personality has been created and shaped by Arsene, this is the problem the squad expect to win things without having the experience of how to win things.
Myles, has Arsene ever won a trophy at Arsenal without players he inherited?

He’s always won his trophies with experienced players.
Lee Dixon and Lauren, Seaman and Lehmann and Sol Campbell, all were winners before Wenger got hold of them
The baby of the Invincibles was Ashley Cole and he was 24.
Which is the average age of the team that has just contested the Carling Cup Final and lost 2-1 to Birmingham in 94 minutes.
Bad mistake by Djourou, Zigic scored.
Bad mistake by Koscielny, Obafemi Martins scored a tap in.
Alex McLeish is a good tactician who has managed six cup finals and won six cup finals.
Seeing that Zigic could not run at all after about 65 minutes, and not fancying extra time, McLeish brought on two sprinters. And one of them them scored.
Wenger would never take an experienced striker on loan from Rubin Kazan.
He is too fanatical, too ideological, too much of an ayatollah to do that.
He would never make a pragmatic or imaginative loan signing because it might disrupt the pecking order among the precious babies behind the 16-foot electric gates of their Colney Crech
He would say, “That would kill my kids. If I did that, I couldn’t have Bendtner on the bench.”
Yet again, Arsene Wenger has proved me right.
It’s very sad and annoying for my friends because they’re all Gooners.
Everything I’ve said for the last four years was clear at Wembley yesterday. He’s lost his last three finals. He was very lucky that Lee Bowyer wasn’t given a penalty after 2 minutes and very lucky that Szczesny wasn’t sent off for bringing him down.
The linesman got it wrong : Lee Bowyer was onside.
Wenger was 1/4 favourite to beat Birmingham. He failed again. His centrebacks failed.Djourou and Koscielny made two stupid decisons which lost that game.
I REST MY CASE. And my uppercase.
