At kickoff, Arsenal’s average age across the team stood at 24.27, rising to 25.81 by full time as they chased an equaliser.
City’s average, by contrast, stood at 25.54, although that fell to 25.27 after Sergio Aguero was introduced in the 32nd minute for Aleksandar Kolarov. Abdul Razak took the place of tiring Owen Hargreaves in the 79th minute, meaning that by full time, City’s average had decreased to 24.18—surprisingly lower than Arsenal’s starting figure.

Yes, players should desire to win trophies, they should also remember their roots, the start that enabled them to be where they are. I believe it's call loyalty. It's important too.
LOL so nasri should have stayed at Marseille then.MSP said:this one is mind blowing, man would think Samir was raised up in same street where Emirates are, lol

Same for us re Distin. I don't understand it. They honoured their contracts but weren't happy with the direction their clubs were going in at the time. Shame that Distin made a terrible mistake in that respect.Le Grand Fromage said:I know its difficult for football fans to be rational over something we care so much about but I don't understand
- why Gooners vilify Nasri , who was coming to the end of his contract , let the club know he was not going to sign another and allowed Arsenal to get a really good price for him
- Fabregas on the other hand had a few years left on his contract,and made it clear he would not go anywhere but Barcelona , so Arsenal had to sell possibly for less money than they would have got in an open market.
As I see it Fabregas should be the target of their bile.

The 'he went for the money' angle trodden out is getting weaker and weaker. Some interesting stats about the Carling Cup teams, also.
yeah, i see what you mean, but he would still have left about the same time dunney did i think. (lack of starts)Prestwich_Blue said:Same for us re Distin. I don't understand it.
