Isn't Roy Makaay ugly?
Isn't Roy Makaay ugly?
k...Anyway, I think a lot of critism has been put Barthez's way this season, but look at Wright in the Arsenal goal. The guy is playing like a complete buffoon.
From the top of my head i can remember him scoring an own goal against Charlton, fumbling poyet's shoit to gift Spurs a point, and now he gets beat at his near post from outside the area! which is unforgiveable.
I think he is under a lot of pressure, as he is trying to play well to keep his place. BUt apparently he is playing through with an injury...should he really be playing at all?

No denying Arsenal were pee-poor last night - again - especially in the first half.
The comparisons between Wright and Barthez aren't really fair, though. He has obviously made some glaring errors, which any team could do without, let alone one hoping to challenge for the Premiership and the Champion's League.
But it needs to be remembered that Wright is a young, up-and-coming keeper still learning his trade, while Barthez is - supposedly - one of the worlds best keepers.
Every goalkeeper will make mistakes occasionally, and that's forgivable - but the frequency and nature of Barthez' c***-ups are not so easily forgivable for a player of his supposed standard. While he is undoubtably a good keeper, his antics for me place him alongside Grobbelar in the goalkeeping ranks - i.e. a clown in a football kit! :-)

Give Richard Wright a break, the man showed glimpses of a world class keeper against the spurs. He basically gave us a draw, spurs are a middle rate team and they mad arsenal look dreadful.
The big question is arsenal as a whole, we have only two world class players (Henry, Vieira) and if we keep playing like this they are going to leave and we are going to end up like the spurs.
On the subject of Barthez, he is a fool and let him carry on like that. For if he does we can beat them.
All I have left to say is COME ON ARSENAL!! lets beat the man u scum on sunday.

Wright looks poor in goal. He can't keep making blunders every game. I'd forgive a couple for a young keeper but this is beyond a joke (Charlton, Spurs, La Coruna in quick succession).
And our two world class players are Henry and Viera? I don't think so! Viera has barely stepped up to looking mediocre this season. He hasn't taken control of the midfield, he constantly gives the ball away, gets caught needlessly, is a joke as a captain and can rarely even keep a shot down. Not what I'd call world class.
I can't believe that anyone could watch him this year and class him above Robert Pires who, while inconsistent, is capable of being one of the finest in Europe.

Wright had a knee problem and Wenger admitted that he should not of selected Wright for the game.

Are you talking about the Vieira that plays for arsenal? If we didn't have this man at arsenal, along with Henry and Robert Pires (i'll give u that) we would be well below midtable this season.
