I read that Phillips piece. Pretty unfair to Arshavin, whose supposed failure has become a cliche. Lots of hyperbole, very little insight in my opinion. Well-written though.
The problem I have with Wright Thompson is his solipsism. Everything is oriented around his experience, which can be grating at times. That piece about racism in Italy was a prime example.

Also I think Cox is the weakest writer of the bunch at the sentence level, but he actually understands what analysis is, unlike most commentators. I appreciate that, because I like to analyze and form my own opinions. In general, I don't want to read poetry about the sport, I'd rather watch it. I think there is a growing tendency among writers to wax poetic for paragraphs without saying anything substantive. That annoys me, because generally I want information and insight.
