Never talk about Roy Keane and this Arsenal team in the same sentence. You’ll only upset yourself.
Paul Merson got so upset that he started dreaming up infuriating scenarios that never actually happened but he can damn well imagine them happening.
The Soccer Saturday pundit went off on another rant about the Gunners being too nice – about them being the anti-Keane, if you will.
The Irish and Manchester United legend was a winner and Merson retold the tale of Keane never knowing how many players in the dressing room would be speaking to him at any one time. Then his voice almost broke again trying to imagine that happening in the Arsenal changing room.
Instead, all Merson could see was all the lads around at a two-year-old kid’s birthday party together.
“I bet all the players are there,” he blasted. “You can imagine them just sitting there with their little hats.”
Bizarre, maybe. But tell us you can’t imagine it too. And tell us that it doesn’t paint a brilliant picture of a spineless team that are not championship winners.
