Wenger has took an awful lot of stick this week, the amount of negative threads is getting silly...thought it was time to have a look at what he has actually done for us...i have highlighted but a few of them! lay off the bloke... he is a genius and all the while he wants to be at Arsenal im happy to have him!
Nobody disputes all this. But how long can we trade off past glories ?
We are not good enough to win the 2 big trophies and can't be arsed to win the other 2
People need to stop the scare mongering.... buying a player or 2 will NOT bankrupt us, and will NOT turn us into a Leeds. Wenger says we have money, so why should we doubt him???
Wenger says we have money and Swale says we don't.

I'm going with Swale.
As in a relationship/sexual kind of way ? Each to their own I suppose
Yep augie...Every time I read one of Swale's posts I feel like I've been f**ked up the arse, so I'm just formalising things.

I dont see winning something as the be all and end all mate, people keep on...'we must win something this season' Why? will the stadium fall down if we dont? no we will try again next year!
Wenger put this club where it is today, within the top 3 clubs in English football, having done so without spending billions like Chelsea and United have, he deserves massive applause for that!
I really believe a trophy is getting closer and closer.
Before Wenger came along we were rapidly becoming a team that finished around 6th, 7th, 8th or lower, he took us from there right to the top, now he is trying to do so again and i really believe he will
This is a good point which I agree with but it's the lack of passion and fight that he is slowly bringing in to the club which is what I'm not keen on, not winning anything for me (like you) is not the be all but you still expect the team to go out and give 100% every week and that's not happening because he is filling the squad with weak midgets and then spending all money to fix that on giving new and improved contracts to underperforming, undeserving players.
You don't judge a team when it's winning, you judge it when things are not going well as you see the real character of it then.
He and only he is responsible for that so the stick he has been getting is not out of order and I'm a Wenger man.

I'd agree with that. I can cope if we don't win things, that's not why I support Arsenal. But you want to see the players have some fight in them, occasionally they do show some but clearly not enough. They have it far too easy in my opinion and this is often reflected in their performances.
You beat me to it, Spuddy
