Look back at our domestic results since we beat citeeh and truly they have been woeful for the most part bar when we played teams that have since being relegated, and yet some knobheads were talking about a statue for the cone boy only two weeks ago :roll: :oops: :lol: :lol: Are people not watching the performances at all ? For people to comprehend just how shit a league the victims have won, all they need to do is look at the team that will finish in 2nd place - a team that has dropped an awful lot of points against poor and average teams, and yet are the second best team in the league :oops: :oops: Even on last nights match thread people were talking about needing to get in a few quality players this summer to kick on - what is it about this manager that gives you the confidence that he can fix things given that he has spent almost £800m to date and won nothing with the players he bought ?? Quite honestly I wouldnt trust the man with my weekly shopping money cos he would end up buying crap that I dont need, and would overpay on it too. As I have said on numerous occasions lately, he will remain loyal to c.unts like the disappearing captain, and that shouldnt be accepted by the fans or the club - when it suits the clubs they tell us that football is a big business now (and they sure as shit charge prices like it is), but everyone knows that there is no room for sentiment in business, and loyalty to a manager OR PLAYER can only be justified if the individual concerned is capable of playing their part in making the club successful again, and imo neither the manager or his cunting captain are capable of stepping up a level and need to go.
Sean. I said he would have a statue IF we won the European Cup. Grow up.

And the morning after I shag the bejesus out of mila kunis I am going to commission the most famous sculptor in the world to make a gold statue of my cock (if he can source enough gold of course :wink: ) - neither is likely to ever happen :lol: :lol: :lol:

If we win or even put up a good display tomorrow night against psg I sadly will expect the cone boy to remain in charge for next season, HOWEVER if we get a run around tomorrow night then surely he will be under pressure ? I'd have the c.unt gone regardless of how the season ends tbh, but 3 wins in our last 10 league games is pitiful, and with the victims and geordies still to come, it could be a nightmare end of season for us. Like I continually say, dropping pts when you rotate a lot of the first choice 11 is understandable and maybe acceptable, but dropping pts like we are when we hardly rotating at all, is absolutely unacceptable cos (a) it increases the risk of fatigue in psg game plus (b) it tells us that he cant get a good display with an almost full strength team out

Fully agree.

Fuck him off sharpish before we've gone backwards too far.

I have a feeling he is going to resign at the end of the season.

Listened to Keown afterwards- honestly how much does this Wenger cocksucker get paid to come out with these words of wisdom. Predicting a big summer of spending- I mean it doesn't get more Wenger than that does it

Think my apathy has started to set in like those 09-17 years. It's all meh now. Resigned to always being 2 players away from the project being complete. Next stage- having our best players wind down their contracts and leave. If it can happen with the likes of Trent at Liverpool don't think it can't now. At least he left them winning 2 Premier Leagues, domestic cups and a Champions League. Our best players will already be thinking how much longer they can go before they need to do a Kane

We have, at least, another 5 years of him. At least.
