The walkway around the arena has the best meat.

Cant understand how a professional gets himself sent off for violent conduct within the first 20 minutes of a football match.
Yeah, this is true.
Don't think anyone will argue that Wilshere isn't light-years better than Cleverly.
That one guy, but I don't care to mention his name......
Well, when it comes to the first XI in big games, Wilshere will be preferred over Cleverly, but in the world cup, etc. you need more than just one first XI.
I rate Cleverley too, I must add, but Wilshere's an all round better player in exactly the same mould and three years earlier into his development. Both of them harbour question marks about their fitness, though.
Cleverley will be in the squad, but I can't see him being a preferred starter in the grand scheme of things.
Of course.

But if you're playing 3 in midfield, wouldn't you eventually play them together with a holding midfielder? Can't play the diminishing Gerrard forever, fuck Lampard and Shelvey while good isn't there yet.
The second coming.
Time for Rodwell to step up

Easy: sell. There's always cheap replacements for even the best players.
Well I'm assuming Cleverley or Wilshere is slotting into the forward most position in a middle three, and Wilshere's a much greater goal threat than Cleverley, as is Shelvey.
Cleverley could slot into the midfield position alongside an experienced player like Gerrard/Carrick/Lampard, but in two years I fully expect Shelvey to have eclipsed Cleverley in overall worth to the England first 11.

Jesus Christ, Cesar has completely lost it
Well, Hodgson seems to switch between playing a 4-4-2 and 4-2-3-1, so assuming you have a DM & Wilshere as a midfield 2, the 3rd position would either be taken by a striker or someone to play 'in the hole'. Shelvey, as an example, would be far more suited to playing in the advanced position than Cleverley even if he still has a long way to develop. Unless England switch to more of a 4-3-3 then it's difficult for Cleverley to fit.
Yup. I changed the channel. Today's fixtures are zzz
It drives me nuts when defenders or goalkeepers do something really cheeky and show confidence and skill on the ball, and the commentators just say "WHAT THE FUCK IS HE DOING DID HE FORGET HE'S A DEFENDER?" as if every time you have the ball you just have to boot the sucker down the pitch.

You still haven't learned your lesson, have you? Never bet on Arsenal
How that wasn't a foul on Wilshere I'll never know. There's a shoulder barge, and then there's that.

Don't think England have the threat on the wings and up front to integrate 2 centre midfielders who keep the ball well but offer little in direct attack. Think a holder-Wilshere-Shelvey combo could work well in a couple of years
Cazorla's in decline, Arsenal should cash in
That's what happens when you don't have Manchester City FC(r) Club Legend(tm) Patrick Vieira working for you.

Out of interest, have City come out with any Peter Kenyon-like bullshit about becoming self-sufficient in the near future?
Taarabt has been really quite this season. He sure fell off after last season.
I'm sure they want to build their academy compound first. Have they broke ground on that project yet?
