The best of the Betfair football forum

Is Arsene Wenger to blame for Arsenal's lack of silverware in recent years? Are Barcelona going to suffer a rare away setback in Valencia? Do Celtic have reason to be annoyed be officiating in the SPL? Here's what the poster on the Betfair football forum reckon...

"Wenger with his refusal to ever pull his players up has created a petulant team of sulking babies who have no backbone or guts. They prefer to cry and lash out like children rather than man up and get stuck in, backed up by their disciplinary record despite Wenger constantly bleeting on about how hard done by they are. They are a brilliant footballing side but will win nothing in my opinion as the old guard are history and Wenger will only buy pretty players now. He would never buy a Tony Adams, Steve Bould or Lee Dixon." - J0KER

"Barcelona are [1.65] away to Valencia. I know Barca are good but that's far too short surely when you consider that Barca have not won any of the last four meetings away to Valencia (two draws and two defeats). Valencia have lost Silva and Villa but still are third in Spain and in the last 16 of Champions League so they are no mugs. Barcelona were [1.9] against Arsenal, are Valencia that much worse that Arsenal? Not much in it in my view. I will be laying Barcelona all day at [1.65]. - bingbang

"Edin Dzeko has played eight games, scored four goals and got three assists - what a failure!" - stringer

"Celtic were outplayed yesterday just as they were in the other two games they've lost this season (Rangers at Parkhead and Hearts at Tynecastle) but, as in those other two games, they were denied the chance of a fightback by a dodgy decision. The penalty, which was down to the linesman rather than the ref, was on a par with Broadfoot's dive in one of the other losing games. If results always went the way of play, the SPL would already be sewn up." - Feck N. Eejit

"The three best managers in English football are Scottish - Sir Alex, Moyes and McLeish - what gives?" - timeless

"When failure means returning to Scotland, it's not surprising that they fight so hard for success." - Nocash
