So What


So what if Arsenal players are mainly kids - as long as they have the footie experience and skill. Because there are other more seasoned players who still lack the skill and expertise.

So what if Wenger doesn’t spend much on getting new players. After all, he’s defended his tight grip on money by saying, ‘We don’t sign superstars; we make them.’ And he has more or less proven that he is indeed capable of creating superstars.

So what if Almunia looks like he belongs more at a beach working, say, as a lifeguard rather than a goalkeeper to be taken seriously. He’s proven himself to be as good as, if not better, than Lehmann. And the saves he made in the match with Liverpool last weekend!

So what if Henry is no longer around. The other players have so far proven themselves capable of playing without him. Golly, even Henry needs to adapt at Barcelona.

So what if we’re going to meet ManUre and Froggie this weekend. After all, ManUre lost to Manchester City, didn’t they, and subsequently got knocked out of the Carling Cup too. It just shows that even ManUre is not infallible. The Arsenal kids, on the other hand, will now go to the Carling Cup quarter-finals after having won on Wednesday evening against Sheffield United; as the end of this article put it: the match was men against boys, and the men took one hell of a beating.

So all those critics out there, please, stop putting Arsenal down already.
