As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

The problem is that at the bowl i get the feeling the WOBs are very spread out so anytime they start chants they quite easily get shutdown by the vast amount of AKBs singing his praises, i think the way ahead is to keep ramping the pressure at the away games but as i said before i also get the feeling you'll see the Stasi appearing at more and more away games to 'help' the locals
This ^.
Wenger has the devil's luck. When he needs a couple wins to lift the pressure he gets them. Cue us raping Watford 5-0 with some top quality goals and Flip Flop John Cross will be spouting shit like "who could replace him?" and "careful what you wish for" and some smug shit from Paul "Worldy" Merson about "spoiled fans" and "unbelievable Jeff, Wenger has earned the right to stay".

I agree mate, you paint an eerily accurate picture of the coming reality.
I just cannot allow myself to see this as the end because Wenger has got out of this so many times before. I now how how the villains in Batfink feel when they're sure they've finally got him ... only to see him escape yet again.
Already this season Wenger has got lucky. It could and should have been 2 defeats (including one humiliation) and a red card already. Instead Ox's goal got him off the hook as far as the crowd turning really nasty against Liverpool was concerned. And how the ref didnt give that penalty to Leicester I will never know. Yeah its not easy being a ref blah blah but that was an easy decision.
So in every game where he didn't appear for 90 minutes was down to injury was it? *facepalm* I know as an Irishman you probably aren't the sharpest tool in the box, but do try and think it through eh " " " " Hey, just joking buddy!!
I do love how you criticise people for abuse on this forum whilst hiding behind barely disguised abuse of your own.
You crack me up pal.
Your late edit on your racial slur and the attempt at using some form of "acceptable" sarcastic humour to cover it is pathetic and has earned you yet another 7 day ban. That's your last temporary ban - the next one will be permanent.
Tbh, after I review this decision with my fellow mods, I might make this one permanent.
To address your post, your rank stupidity in your first sentence there is typical of the moronic rubbish you often post on here. Where did I say that?
Basically you are known on here for two things; calling regular posters "mugs" and "pricks" and your pathetic and childish trolling of SteveO. Oh look, it's three things now; racism as well. You need to take a long look at yourself, you are a disgusting individual.
We mods have discussed this issue and decided that, given Robin_L's history of at least 2 or 3 previous temporary bans for trolling/wumming and personal abuse, the racial slur is a step too far and we are making his ban permanent.
Honestly, we are reluctant to ban people here, but there has to be a line in the sand.

Boggles the fucking mind.
If he doesn't rate him, then sell the fcuker You loan out young players to get them experience, but other than that you sell players who you don't intend using in your own team. Am surprised mr economics doesn't understand that - must be something to do with no club be willing to buy our players and be expected to fully meet their wages, instead of taking them on loan and our club paying a chunk of their wage
It's probably a case of Wenger shitting himself that he'll sell him and he'll then thrive under the tutelage of another manager.

I think this is not the only case of this, it's why certain players get extensions and big wage increases too, god forbid they leave and actually make good elssewhere, especially the younger players

Way to ruin a young players development, hold them back. He only seems to sell the ones that have reached their potential, the very ones we should be busting a nut to keep.

Can see this happening as he will not sign Mustafi for anywhere near £50 million
Suppose if you want him out this is exactly what we need
Could not give a fuck about the games until he is out
Hartson came out this morning and flat out said that it is Wengers fault that Mustafi has gone up to 50mil because he waited too long. AGAIN!!
Clubs aren't stupid, the more desperate you are the more they'll charge. The reality is that Wenger, instead of swanning off to the Euro's, should have spent 75-100mil on a top class CB & a CF. Instead he dithered until the last minute wondering...hoping, hoping, hoping he could get away with what we have.
In truth had Mertersacker & Gabriel not been injured we wouldn't even be pretending to look for a CB. Our business would have long been concluded. I think it is anyway, nobody's coming because nobody wants to come to him.
Arsene Wenger, the guardian of Arsenal
After Arsenal’s 0-0 draw at Leicester, Arsene Wenger took the opportunity to enlighten those supporters who are angry at the lack of transfer market activity during this summer. Let’s take his points in turn. If I sound snide and sarcastic, that only follows Wenger’s own lead:
“The fans are highly influenced by the media and that’s part of the process today.”
Sorry Arsene, but that simply isn’t the full picture. Supporters are influenced by what they see on the pitch, and what they know about their club. They know the cash reserves that Arsenal possess, and their lack of activity in comparison with their rivals (not just Manchester City and Manchester United). They also know the deficiencies in the squad.
“Nobody is speaking about the performance of Rob Holding today. You should be happy; he is English, he is 20 years old, but I’m sorry he didn’t cost £55m, so it cannot be good.”
Again, this is a ridiculous straw man argument, in which Wenger judges black against white without accepting the obvious existence of a rainbow of other colours. You can praise Holding’s form (and plenty have) while still pointing out the lack of spending that has hampered Arsenal’s progress. Wenger afforded fewer words for his side’s toothless attack, days after expressing his belief that the club’s existing strikers could carry the can effectively.
“If I buy you for £45m tomorrow, does it mean I have done well? If I listen to you then I will have done well because I spent the money, but spending the money in itself is not the quality.”
No Arsene, it doesn’t. But that’s because you were talking to a journalist, not a striker that would help solve the club’s problems.
“I spend £300m if I find the right player. I will not forget we have 600 employees and we need a responsible attitude for them too.”
I could point out that Wenger’s remit is to ensure the success of the team on the field, leaving the responsibility for the club’s staff to others. But instead I’m going to ask why, if Wenger is so bothered about those 600 employees, hasn’t he been campaigning for them to be paid the living wage while taking home his own salary of £8.3m?
I wish there was a journalist willing to press him at a post match conference like the writer took each point above, and have the speed of thought to counter all the rubbish he says.

Me too. I'd love just one journo with a pair of balls (or tits, like Jacqui Oatley - although she needs to learn to spell her own first name ) that would answer Wenger's shite talk with the comments above.

Have you got a link to this? Can't find it on their website. Want to send it to a mate.
