http://tinyurl.com/5uyqrsv（The Sun） Don’t brag about cash when we’re potless IAN WRIGHT ARSENAL announced their half-yearly accounts yesterday. Yet the timing was terrible. We were told about a 'robust financial performance' which was an overall loss of ￡2.5million - and compared to other clubs, these are very good figures. Yet the fact the club started talking about finances the day after a Carling Cup final defeat rubbed salt into the wounds. 联赛盃失利後隔天公布健全的财务报告，无疑是在伤口上洒盐 Because, had Arsene Wenger invested in a defender in the January transfer window, maybe Arsenal would have won their first trophy since 2005. 如果教授在一月补强中卫，也许现在已经举起奖盃 Congratulations to Alex McLeish and his players. They deserved it. Ben Foster, Lee Bowyer, Barry Ferguson and Roger Johnson were all outstanding. Despite Birmingham's excellent display, I was gutted, particularly as the winner came courtesy of a mix-up between Laurent Koscielny and Wojciech Szczesny. Sunday exposed the Arsenal team for lacking experience, even though they have lots of potential. 现在的枪手缺乏经验 I've been on about this for a while now. One or two Arsenal fans say I am no longer their hero because they think I am criticising the club when I talk about the club's lack of spending. Paul Merson gets it in the neck from supporters as well. I am just saying the likes of Cesc Fabregas, Theo Walcott, Robin van Persie and Jack Wilshere need some help. And when key players are missing, as they are now, I am not sure there is enough in reserve. 失去主力球员後没有足够的替补 Arsenal paid the price for failing to deal with the massive occasion. This set of players are used to playing in big games - yet there is a difference between big Premier League matches and a cup final. 英超的重大比赛和盃赛决赛之间还是有所区别 A few Arsenal fans have been telling me that Johan Djourou and Koscielny are the answer. They have done well recently but in a big game like this, they did not perform well enough. 球迷认为久若和柯斯切尔尼缺乏经验，一般比赛没问题，但大场面表现不够 Koscielny lost out to Roger Johnson for the header which led to the goal scored by Nikola Zigic, with Djourou nowhere near his man. And we know what happened with the winning strike. 两个人对第一个失球都有责任 There was no communication between Koscielny and Szczesny. I could certainly not see Manchester United or even Chelsea defend like that. Nemanja Vidic or John Terry would have cleared the ball. 换成维地奇或特里就会清掉那球 After Van Persie went off injured and with Fabregas and Walcott sidelined, I was not convinced there were any leaders on the pitch. Wilshere will be a future Arsenal and England captain - but it is asking too much to expect a 19-year-old to take control of the team. 范佩西下场後，场上没有领袖 You have to spend millions. Look at David Luiz at Chelsea. He is the type of player I'd like to see at the Emirates but his ￡21m price tag means Arsenal would never contemplate buying him. 大卫路易兹是应该出现在酋长球场的球员，但温格不可能买下他 Now, Wenger's team have a big week with Leyton Orient, Sunderland and Barcelona. All tough. Even Orient will fancy having a go tomorrow night and this match will be a must-win game. 对阵莱顿东方必须获胜，接下来要面对桑德兰和巴萨 I admire Wenger's faith in this team - but they must start delivering. This season, not next. 我景仰温格的信念，但这赛季必须有点交代，不是下赛季 --
