No room for Ireland, Hamann, Bojinov, Kompany, Benjani, Ben Haim, um, Mills

Can anyone remember the days when Arsenal were in the Big Four and Man City were just a bunch of also-rans? Those were great times - feels just like yesterday doesn’t it?

But now look at them, Arsenal have a tissue paper midfield, and Man City are all over this year’s Premier League like a rash, baby! They have, of course, promised us a top four finish, then bigger things to come next year.

As an aside, how must little Wright-Phillips feel about leaving Chelsea, only to find himself back at Chelsea?

Gutted.
