While this is true, Wesley didn't do anything new during the Arsenal match. He isn't as bad as Silvestre, but he is pretty good at having some horrid performances.

A win or a loss of the Premiership title is due to a number of small innocuous events that in aggregate make the difference. His innocuous mistake cost us at least a point; a point that isn't made up by a meaningless goal in a meaningless Champions League game.

Well then it's a wonder we let Rio make so many mistakes and kept him and realised that he REALLY was damned good (although still lazy and confused at times haha)

No one, not even Titus Brambel is as bad as Silvestre when it comes to dumbass goals. He's one of the most frustrating players in all of sports. He'll pull of an amazing tackle, pass 70 yards dead onto Rooney's chest, but later in the same game he'll head over the keeper into his own net, trying to pull off a pass back...so painful

Yeah, i think Wes Brown, david James, titus Bramble and Silvestre all hail from the same gene pull, they ALL got that CLUMSY gene..
