At least in France, we still have a communist party. It is good to have my views on the State of the capitalist west (or at least the Capitalist West London) represented so coherently and accurately.

He's not talking about the political ins-and-outs, he's saying that the international game has suffered as a by-product of the emergence of young nations who have a right to compete. That's not mind-games, that's a fact. He's not blaming them for their emancipation, he's merely saying the standard has dropped, which it has. The comments about Maradona and Giggs are also spot on. It's not a double-bluff either because that statement is not gonna change the landscape of international football. He's just evaluating the structure of the game today.

George Best couldn't do it with Northern Ireland either. That quote about Maradona being able to lead Luxembourg through to the qualifying stages is laughable at best.

But what else can you expect of someone who has to stoop to such thinly veiled insults, the article is highly humourous, it's a complete joke, but by the end of it you're left thinking that the author really doesn't like Wenger and that he's just attempting to make others smirk at him. Sarcasm is the lowest form of whit as proven by a writer driven to hyperbole and exaggeration to get a cheap laugh. The author has a wild imagination, if only it were true so critcism could be so easy! The greatest insult to an economics major is to call them a communist.
