    Parky shouldn't have been appointed to replace Pardew, he was too tainted by association, and his efforts at keeping us up were poor.

    But, he did a pretty good job in his first season in L1, and brought in some decent players, such as Burton and Richardson. Unfortunately, we'd lost too many good players in his second season (Bailey, Shelvey, Richardson) and brought in dross, not helped by the terrible finances. The big question is whether Parky would have done such a good job in the summer of 2011 with the budget and clean slate Powell had, I suspect not, but that we might still have got promoted...

    Im sorry but I totally disagree, we should have gone up with that team.
    Should have gone up? With an ageing and patched-together Deon Burton as our sole striker for most of the season?

    Millwall had Morison, Norwich had Holt, Leeds had Beckford....we had Burton, Mooney, Forster and Sodje. There's your answer right there.

    Liked Parky.
    Got good results with average players.
    Commentators saying Bradford on their last legs - they really don't watch the lower leagues do they?
    If they did they would know that this does not happen now. They were comfortable considering they were facinig Arsenal! It was not about fitness, it was about ability and skill. Arsnil had the skill but lacked the desire.
    No one can say that our Charlton side were not fit enough under Parky and it was one of our few strenghts. In fact, not many sides in any football league side are unfit, just a few "getting more mature" players that may lack pace.

    Bradford are the new wycombe


    Does that make wenger the new reed

    They are going to get pelters tomorrow its quite an astonishing result when you think about it in a football sense

    Arsenal wont win the league or the league cup they more than likely wont win the champions league meaning for wenger to survive the next season before the fans wholesale turn on him they must win the fa cup

    Wenger (& Ferguson) sell top players for big money and still finish top 4 year in year out - what's not to like?

    I bet Goonerhater is well gutted.

    I dunno about that. Don't think Parky is on the "burn" list is he? GH is probably suffering from a mild touch of cognitive dissonance at worst. I think a more interesting scenario would be to put him in front of a match between a team of Arsenal supporters and one of Guardian staffers (without access to any flammable liquids or ignitions sources obviously).

    Blaaady ell! Well in Bradford. Have a soft spot for em because of their tradegy. Good to see them in a semi final. Will be cheering them on.

    The interview on sky with wenger is great trying to shrug it off as no big deal or embaressing loss just a loss against a team that defended well

    Not we had 35 shots and scored 1 goal i need to release chamack and gervinho etc

    Often with these so called shocking misses you can find a least a glimmer of extenuating circumstance - like the striker being a little bit off balance or over reaching etc but I cannot find any reason for Gervinho to miss that. He even has time to adjust his feet so he's in the perfect position. Even if he'd fallen on his arse the ball should have just hit him and gone in.

    Parky had francis, doherty in defence for us with deon burton up top and still got us in decentg positions in the league. Good manager

    Well done parky
    Could he had masterminded a similar win against spurs for us had he not been axed?

    Gervinho was a disgrace last night, even by his standards. I'm wondering if, pound for pound, he's Wengers worst signing ?

    Unlikely.

    I remember the utter humiliations v northwich victoria, shrewsbury and worst of all millwall.

    Lovely bloke and pleased for him for last night but I cannot equate him to Jimmy Seed the second in any way in terms of scuccessful football management at Charlton and I think we would still be in the third division with him if not lower (know that is speculation but only providing a modicum of balance to those stating that if he had received CP's money (on top of one of the highest wage budgets in the league as he enjoyed) we would be pushing for a Champion's League place by now).

    Would like him to go on and win the cup though and do like the man.

    Well done Parky
    But I won't forget he was the manager that led us in the most uninspiring pathetic attempt ever to stay in the Championship ...28 games, with him in charge, of shit saw us relegated by a country mile ....and he had already worked with those players, his record that season was worse than Pardews ...the decision to place Parky in charge after his caretakers reign was up there with Murrays dowie(and his enforced coaching staff) and reed decisions ....ridiculous
    Parky then picked his game up and done a decent enough job in the league for the season and a half that followed(not forgetting the humiliations at northwich and scum) and was imo unlucky to have lost the job when he did but there again he shouldn't have got it in the first place !
    And I doff my cap, to the much maligned board, who had the ballls to gamble by bringing in SCP , did Peter Varney point them in his direction ??

    As for Arsenal aren't they a rare species of football club that doesn't run with huge losses and mounting debts? They try to play football the right way .... Used to hate Arsenal as a kid but not so much now , so what they haven't won anything recently, does that mean they're newer fans are real supporters and not glory boys ..... New ground for a few and they sold out 4.5k up there , fairplay
