Wenger Out protest thread

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.

I am raging though with this from the mirror, it's not even from John cross either. Wankers.

Hopefully there will be some more balanced reporting on it from others.
One of their 5 reasons the protest was poor was a photo of the 'no new contract' banner with the caption - the same banner could be used to protest against mobile phone companies.

Wtf? What a shit piece of 'journalism'

It's The Mirror of course it was a shit piece :)

Probably a Spurs fan like a lot of them and wants him to stay as long as possible.

Well done and frankly it's all good publicity for the cause.

Been picked up by every single media outlet and put to Wenger in his post-match presser. Surely a success by that measure?

I thought that was Bobby Gould for a moment. Well done for fighting the cause, mate.

Just done an interview on 5Live with Neil Ashton (Sun???)

Made the point that we're sick to death of the media and pundits highlighting Arsenal's faults but not attributing them to Wenger. Also said that we're so fed up because they get paid handsomely to watch Arsenal whilst we have to shell out fortunes to watch the same garbage year after year.

Presenter then did the Be Careful What You Wish For thing (what if you end up 7th when he goes?) to which I replied "We've just lost 10-2 to one of the teams that we left Highbury to compete with and last year it was 5-1 to Barca so how can anyone say that things are going great for us?

Had so much more to say but wasn't allowed time. At least we're getting our message across now and making everyone take notice.

The protest was headline news on Sky Sports.

Well done to everyone who made this happen.
The way Sky portray it there's no way the club won't have taken notice or at least been made aware.
Fantastic.

I look forward now to reading in the papers about Wenger's departure. the sooner, the better.

Well we must be the laughingstock at shit heart lane tonight.
Wenger must go now, he has gone a good job, but now it's time for a change.
Silent Stan should sell up and go too, and take that puppet Ivan Gazidis with him, or should I call them both,
Roger De Courcey and Nookie bear, (for the younger Gooners look them up)
Because every year at the AGM, Stan puts his hand up Ivan's ass and out comes all the crap,

Congratulations to all those who organised and attended the protest tonight.
You got great coverage over here on TSN who showed clips of the protest at Highbury before and after the game, as well as a piece in their pre-game show.
The last 15 minutes of match commentary and pretty much the whole post game round up centered on how much longer he can last.
Keep it up lads. From this distance it looks like the tide is turning.

Seeing loads of negative bollocks about the protest, taking the piss that "only" 150-200 took part. Feckin tossers!! At least it happened, and these lads had the bottle to do it. I wish the fact that any fans regardless of numbers are protesting, was made the issue, not the percentage. Makes my blood boil. Wish i could have attended. Sick of this bollocks!! . Put a scum fan i know back in his box tonight, and replied to a few dickhead posts on a newspaper site. Ferk them!! not putting up with twats, talking shit ab out this club, when they have no knowledge of what is really going on. :censored:

as they say all publicity is good publicity. The fact they are trying to rubbish it means it can't be ignored or they would have done that. Was a great effort.

Back pages are saying Wenger out....it's nearly over. Don't worry about negative publicity re protest, it's making the news thats whats needed. That the TV comment on it show it's relevant enough and can only get more so.
