THE WENGER THREAD

[Clash]

Couple of corrections there, mate!

Much more like it, thanks mate

[Nos89]

Beginning to think we need to change tactics on Wenger. Obviously, this is a two fingered reaction to the "disgraceful" abuse he claims to have received. Maybe, we should overdo the kindness and see if he goes then...

Evening Standard just called me...2 year deal has been signed,will be announced tomorrow. The FA Cup win has apparently "pulled everyone together"

Phone them back and tell them today was the day that The Arsenal has finally died. Ask them to check in with the club in a few weeks to find out how many fans are refusing to renew their memberships. Finally you can tell them that this is the day that thousands of Gooners have finally decided to turn their backs on the club, and many will probably never return

Actually you can let them know that WHEN things goes tits up AGAIN next season, that this seasons protests will seem like a teddy bears picnic in comparison - they can expect the grove to be a free for all battlefield next season, and jesus christ himself wont be able to prevent it

Just been on BBC news , reporter said kronke offered to wenger yesterday with no board involvement, today's meeting is them basically being told what has been decided , so kronke has made the decision himself.
if that's true and there are no caveats e.g. DoF then I would expect Gazidis to walk away , there may be more to it yet as in a condition and handover period we'll have to wait and see.
Very disillusioned at the moment !

No it won't, most couldn't be bothered this year, next year won't be any different. A lot of time it only me and Armchair doing banners in the ground and I'll probably be watching Southend United next year.

Well I had promised to post a celebratory photo of my rock hard pecker on every thread if it was announced he was leaving, so it could be argued today's a good day for the mods. Just looking for the positives.....

Actually, from what I know of the mods, they'd have loved it !!

we're not all like flash you know!!!


by the way Retro, have you got macro mode on your camera?

.



Poor ol' Rodders. Can you imagine, he must be so distraught that it's shrivelled to absolutely nothing. Mind you, I shouldn't laugh, I'm equally shattered and have shrivelled to nine inches. Very dispiriting.

Jesus. What does a nine inch clitoris look like?

Dunno mate, but I bet if you sniffed it up yer nostril and sneezed she's have the orgasm of a life-time.

I wish that was true Augie, but it won't be. This cup win was absolutely vital for the Club. Losing it wouldn't have seen him gone, but winning it has vindicated his position in his own warped mind, the mind of Kroenke (if not the entire board....who knows?) and most importantly, the minds of the fans.

We need to understand that most don't think like us. There's the lunatic cultists who'll worship him, no matter what, but the vast majority are the apathetic, gutless fence sitters they we always beef about. No doubt many were quietly, but timidly, positioning themselves on our side of the fence over the last few months, but that cup win will have them clambering back over, to give Arsene "another chance".

As said on here earlier today, that this season's protests were totally underwhelming in terms of support, when given the atrocious season we were having. Think back to the vitriol years ago, after the 8-2, the 1-3 to Villa on the opening day and the most poisonous of all, the semi against Wigan, where it was getting seriously nasty. In each case, he smoothes it over and the angst dissipates. Resignation has replaced anger and even in the midst of this year's car wreck of a season, the spite never reached the levels of that Wigan semi.

I'd love you to be right mate, but he's probably bought himself a comfortable ride season, regardless of results, on the back of a "record 7th FA Cup". God knows how many times we'll hear that repeated......John Cross and Martin Keown will be competing to see who can spew it out most often.

Wenger now has licence to do what he wants, how he wants and when he wants. By offering him a further contract of 2 years, Wiggy has given him 1,000% backing to go and 'express himself'.

We are FUCKKED.

Gazidis is a wanker anyway...good riddance

Think he's always had that, nothing has changed....possible he will be here after 2 years to be honest....

[Bob Bayliss]

Would it have made a difference had we lost the final? We will never know, but I will continue to believe it might have done. So I am glad I didn't get sucked into the wankfest of celebration over the weekend.

This is reality, the performance on Saturday will soon be a distant memory

I expected The Old Fraud to stay, but even still, what a fucking crushing disappointment it was when I seen the news. It's 2014 all over again; win the FA Cup, get yet another undeserved contract. He'll be pushing 70 when that contract expires and he's already over a decade past his best. No doubt they'll bump him up to £10M per year, which is absolutely vile for a manager who doesn't coach defence, prepare the team for the opposition and deliberately failed for over a decade; no league title in 13 years, no CL title in 19 years and finishing behind the Scum and not even winning the VT this season. The man is a cockroach.

As others have said, one more year would have been insane enough, but two more years?!? I'll start a new countdown when the official line comes out on when it expires, but I would fully expect TOF to stay on even then. I know he will never leave by his own choice and it's now crystal clear that our board are totally redundant, seeing as TOF and Kroenke made their agreement on Bank Holiday Monday. Kroenke doesn't give a fuck about success or the supporters and is happy to continue the purgatory. We couldn't even get a fucking parade for the trophy we just won. Gazidis surely has to resign in protest (maybe Keswick too), especially if changes to the structure have been summarily dismissed by the evidently untouchable 'God' of Arsenal FC.

There really is no point to this anymore. Many Gooners breaking points have been reached, it's bad enough that many have had to endure this shit since 2008/2011/etc. I've followed Arsenal since 1995 and I don't know what the point is of it all anymore. We are probably the most predicable club in the world, with the substitutions and seeing the same half a dozen performances being played out for the past decade and tedious sideways football. The supporters clearly are an irrelevance and the rest of the tourists on Cashburton couldn't give a shit anyway. The only upside to our slow implosion is perhaps these Tarquin cúnts will fuck off somewhere else.

I really envy those of you who are old enough to remember The Arsenal as a football club, especially 1987-94.

This is absolutely the reality and the club know it. They know that despite their survey and posturing, the AST will keep their mouths shut and won't kick up a fuss about the obvious corporate governance issue at a plc that the directors have clearly fettered their duties to the majority shareholder.

The people who fill the Bowl will keep their mouths shut and the "might as well get behind the team" arguments will get ten times louder.

The media have no appetite to pursue a campaign against Wenger because he is here for at least another two years and they will gain nothing by getting on the wrong side of him and the club. Fast forward two years and Merson, Wright and Piers will still be flip-flopping.

The cup final win has had no bearing on the outcome. Wenger is completely unassailable and he knows it - hence his arrogant comments about directors of football and the supposedly disgraceful lack of respect shown to him (by fans) this year. He was just making sure that everybody knows that he's fucking untouchable.

Those were the days my friend.......they will always be in my memory...the best of days. Arsenal haven't been Arsenal for many years and never will be again. Wenger / bracewell Smith / Kroenke et al have destroyed something beautiful..
