THE WENGER 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.

Funny how stories have started to appear that we are appointing a director of football and that Primoric may be leaving.

Almost like they're saying we've made changes so next season will be different....

Yes you could look at it that way if your glass is half empty.
But if your glass is half full you could say that changes are being made in advance of a new manager/coach coming..........

Smoke and mirrors to ease the contract signing under the radar, as the kids say #ArsenalPRDept :wink:

The author of this article states categorically that Wenger was the one who identified Berkamp as an available signing target.

He also categorically states that:

Bergkamp remains eternally grateful to the man (Rioch) who “nursed, cajoled, and eased me into what was a different style of football, and made my family feel so welcome in England. He talked me through the different approach needed to be successful in England.” That's a direct quote from the man himself, long after the event. He has no reason or need to kowtow to a former manager with little standing in the game today.

However insignificant Rioch was in the grand scheme of things, I am prepared to give him a measure of credit for Bergkamp's start at Arsenal. For anyone to say he deserves zero credit is bloody ridiculous.

Leicester getting to the QF's would be more bad news for Wanka :lol:

Yes, I noticed that as well. Also, they have started ( a little earlier than usual) with all these bullshyte rumours that we are going to sign such & such in the summer :blah: :blah: :blah:

From todays BBC Gossip column:

Arsenal want to sign Everton's Senegal central midfielder Idrissa Gueye, 27, in the summer. (Sun)

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger is looking to strengthen his defence with a summer move for 19-year-old Celtic left-back Kieran Tierney. (Daily Mirror)

The only alarming thing about that is they have written it as if cuntbag will still be present...He'd better not be. :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

And Eddie Jones. Don't really follow rugby but I've been reading how Jones has transformed England into a team that even the All Blacks are fearful of.
Can't knock winning every game but it does help that England have both more registered players and a higher revenue than basically the rest of word rugby combined, plus a talent pool which is only bettered by NZ.
I love rugby and follow it closely, and I have not read anywhere that the AB's fear England. The AB's fear nobody, they have been the best in the world for the past decade for a reason. Jones is a genius coach though...he got the Japanese to beat the Springboks, when the Boks were still allowed to play rugby.
Yep England are the closest to the but NZ are fearless and will dismantle the Lions this summer. Especially if Gatland picks half of the Welsh backline.

Allegri taking Juventus through with ease as well.. in other news we are playing Bayern in pre-season lol, I'm sure this was arranged before our ritual humiliation by them but you've got to laugh at our commercial team or whoever set this up, I think they are trying to rival Wanger for incompetence.

Teams that have got further than us in the Champions League in the last seven years. As you can see, they're all European superpowers:

Shaktar Donetsk
Schalke
Apoel Nicosia
Benfica
Marseille
Monaco
Malaga
Galatasary
Porto
Wolfsburg
Scum

It's fucking tragically pathetic isn't it?
What a massively shit manager you are, Wanker.

Complete meltdown from Nasri.

Fucking idiot so easily provoked by that chav and such a stupid thing to do having already drawn attention to himself by squaring up to Vardy.

More cheating from Vardy though after already having taken three or four dives.

Agreed on all counts.

Cracking game though. This is what 2 leg knockout ties should be about. Drama, controversy, missed opportunities. Going right to the wire and still on a knife edge.

None of this dead 2nd leg shite we get every season.

Leicester minutes away from bettering Wengers CL record of the last 7 seasons in 1 attempt.
