well, at least we've never failed to make it out of the group stages
Is this true? I thought Arsenal always used to go out at group stages? Didn't you play your home games at Wembley and do really badly? I can't remember when this was.

"On this stage a 7-1 away win is an exception. Maybe I'm naive when I think it normally doesn't work like this, but if Zagreb gave the match away they should be punished," Frank De Boer said after a night that consigned Ajax to the Europa League."But I think it is hard to find any evidence in this case," he told reporters.

top ten is ozil, rvi, pique, silva, worlds best right back, villa, iniesta, xavi, cronaldo, messi.
so basically if real or barca didn't exist, they'd think rooney the best player of the year.

Complaining about Rooney's placing when this dude is in the list is some serious fiddling while Rome burns:

Barmby-level performance, imo, flatters rooney somewhat
I know goals are only part of the equation obviously, but . . .
Drogba - 2004-present (7 seasons) - 98 goals - 14 goals per season.
It's ridiculous to say that Rooney's the 6th best player in the world, and just as ridiculous to say that he should be in the England side instead of Sturridge based on current form, but to say that he's been top-end-of-mediocre over the last decade seems almost willfully challopsy.

reckon suarez can still improve, wayne is never going to be as good as that goalfest season he had a few years back.
plus suarez is a lot more sporting and seems a genuinely good guy.
