Should Wenger have been approached for the England manager job?

No...There are lot other manager in the English league who are as appropriate for this job as Wenger.

Definitely! If Arsenal were able to play so well with just 10 men, imagine what they would have been able to do with the full team in place! The defense was just brilliant!\nTowards the end though, you could see they were just getting tired & couldn't really hold up.\n\nReally really sad that Lehmann had to go. What's worse is that we had a blind referee in Terje who allowed the offside goal from Eto'o to stand. Just Pathetic.

I don't think there are many jobs that Sam would really go, in terms of ambition - Man Utd, Arsenal, an international job perhaps.\n\nI think it's a question of when they have a bad season, or some external factors - his loyalty seems unquestionable

Crouch, a world class player, he reminds me of Ian Rush without Rush's game skills or game co-ordination\n\nAre we sending a 'modern' england team to germany or are we going back to the wimbledon FC stylee of play (late 80's early 90's), if crouch goes wer'e going down the winbledon fc route, we'll def. be on the first flight home (best get in touch with easyjet/ryanair's early priority booking line)

Yes....what better way to have your country represented as one of the top in the world by having your manager from the same country as your players....

Yes, he played in the French League at Strasbourg but he couldn't cut it. He was then appointed as a Youth Manager and later managed Monaco but he left because of corruption in the French League, moved to manage in Japan. Later Arsenal's Vice Chairman David Dein appointed him as Arsenal's Manager until this day.

Yeah I think Eric Cantona or Mark Hughes would be great managers for Man U. However, I think Carlos Queiroz is the best choice cos after all, he's been doing a great job with Fergie. Or maybe Martin O'Neill...or even Roy Keane? Who knows.\n\nAnd I'd be glad if noone here mention Jose Mourinho to replace our great Ferguson. He's no match for him.

Yes what a load of rubbish. And those of you who thought or think that Becks was the same. \n\nHe held the team together, even though he had his weak moments.\n\nMclaren he is a no! No! NO! Go now.\n\nWhat other England manager has run up and down the sideline with a piece of paper in his hand that he had to refer to. \n\n\nThe man is extracting the Michael out of St George.\n\nI hang my head in shame for English football and for some of the English players.

Arsenal should go and play in the French league seeing as they have very few English players on the pitch, plus they always whinge when they don't get their own way. ManU have always had a large proportion of British players in their team and are generally better.

I would not say no straight away , you lot are putting all of England's chances on one man which is a mistake. You must consider that England have a forty year history of failure concerning the world cup and now it is in Germany 40 years after 1966 , so you'll see that this is a massive motivation and we have to perform well. This will push England and make stronger and more dangerous. Besides , have you seen the squad Sven has come up with? I think our chances are real good , even without Wayne but Wayne#s a strong kid and he might make  it back and just close your eyes and imagine what would happen if england won the world cup , (imagine that whether you like England or not) considering 1966

I think i'd have to disagree with you there, I think the ultimate manager would have to be either Marcello Lippi or Jose Mourinho I mean what kind of manager pisses on the corner flags of their home stadium? Ferguson must've gone bonkers or something!

The stadium is not down to them but the farce of getting a manager is.I fear that now they have had their nose bloodied by big phil they will take the cowards way out and go for Mclaren which will be a disaster.I believe they where right to go for Big phil as his record speaks for itself (which knowing our luck will result in Portugal kicking us out of another major cup).Now he has turned us down we should go for O'Neill or Big Sam at Bolton as these two have a bit of passion about them.McLaren would just be a FA puppet and would lead England once again into the wilderness.F.A IF YOU CAN DO NOTHING ELSE RIGHT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO NOT APOINT ANOTHER NO-MARK MANAGER.GET SOMEONE WITH PASSION.

As I mentioned at that time, Arsenal's most pressing need is for Fabregas to add 10-15 lbs. of muscle, while still being able to play football with his current finesse level-- otherwise, Arsenal are going to continue to get muscled out of midfield by the Boltons of the world-- Wenger is not going to abandon the midfield pairing of Gilberto and Fabregas (when they are healthy), for at least another couple of years-- he puts too much faith in his established veteran players for him to bench Gilberto in favor of a more physical enforcer against the brute-force teams, and Gilberto is not suddenly going to become a fast, intimidating enforcer, so this leaves the only other option of Fabregas maturing into a strong enough player to hold his own against those teams... I don't necessarily think this is beyond him-- he's not any much smaller than Roy Keane, and he's only 18, so he could add the physical size to allow him to dominate in midfield, if he makes it an off-season priority (maybe he can hook up with Barry Bonds' Balco connection, to follow in the footsteps of another supreme talent who was originally slight of build). \n\n2) I continue to find it ridiculous that any Arsenal fan thinks that either Clichy or Flamini would be a suitable or sufficient one-for-one replacement for Cole-- neither of them is ever going to be the attacking threat that Cole is.. if we want to be the most dangerous attacking team in Europe, we need to have the same kind of threat from the left (Cole) as we obtained from the right when Eboue emerged... if we get that, and Reyes and Hleb continue their progression, Pires and Ljungberg will become superfluous in another season (just as they have become superannuated)... but Sean Wright-Phillips (whatever his Englishness or Arsenal connection, which seems to count for more with the Islington-based fans than it does over here) is never going to fill that need for us-- he could be a good addition to the midfield, but we would still be left with a diminished left-side attacking threat, as compared with the days when Cole, Pires, and Henry were all on song. I'd take SWP, if he wants to take a pay-cut to come over and boost our midfield, but not at the cost of Cole. I could see a 3-way deal which involves selling Reyes back to Spain (probably Madrid), and then using the funds to buy SWP from Chelsea (if they'll sell reasonably), and then moving Hleb to the left and putting SWP on the right-- but that would make too much sense, so it probably won't happen

Yes, out of all the people linked with the job he is the only on with international experience and he has the best track record.\n\nIt's the hardest job in football, choose the best candidate, not just a no hoper whose only credentials are being born in England.\n\nSteve McLaren is the only English manager to win a trophy, and to be honest with the ammount of Steve Gibson's money he's spent, 'boro should be much Higher up the league.

lol neither.Their both too old and out of shape. I Still cant believe he didnt call up darren bent.This man was fantastic this season.but instead he called up walcott.an unexperienced youth whose yet to play for arsenals senoir team. I wouldve called up darren bent and .....Beattie.That beanstalk(peter crouch) cant even use his size as an advantage when it comes to headers.Thats my Opinion.Good luck England,you need it. Go Brasil.
