Who the f*** are these people....

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.

Thats a disgrace!!!! I bet wenger gets them all happy meals from Mcdonalds and lets them all watch high school Musical!
I think AW goes about it saying "this is how we will play and we will do this etc..."with no appreciation or consideration how your opponents will play or line up.
Still shocking and no wonder we got turn over by Hull last year.
I remember Vieira saying something similar years ago when asked what Wenger was like in the dressing room before a game and at half time and Paddy said something like "he's very quiet, he just let's us get on with it". Great if you have everything sorted from training I suppose, but the impression I got (and this has been strengthened over the years) was Arsene has no plan B and doesn't really believe in a plan B... :?
Yes, it was said that he lets you sit in silence and collect you own thoughts and review the half. Only then when you about to go back out he makes a brief comment.

And it worked pretty well up to 2004... what has changed, I wonder?

Partly, it has to be the type of characters we have in that dressing room. The Henry's, DB's and Vieira's were Apex predators on a football pitch, alpha males, they knew when they hadn't done what was needed and their pride and egos would push them to try harder. Wenger probably only needed to hint at something and it would get sorted. These new players? Lacking in character? I don't know, it's all speculation of course but it might hint at one of the (many) reasons we have failed so much since those big names left... :?

I don't dislike Arsene, just get frustrated we don't have an excellent goalkeeper or a strong defender (s)

I think most people/critics feel the same mate. i dont hate him and he will go down in Arsenal history as the greatest ever manager and im grateful for what he has done but everyone has a shelf life and i think he has been at the club too long and had a too free reign and now cant see the wood for the trees anymore, we need a fresh approach or someone to have the balls to tell Wenger to sign some decent experienced players

Agreed Flash. One of the most positive things Wenger could do is actually get in some world class coaches in his backroom staff, and not just yes men. I mean are you seriously telling me that none of that backroom staff can tell that Fabianski is rubbish for instance?

Two signing before the window closes, we would be in with a realistic shout,otherwise posts on here are probably right, we'll battle for either 3/4th spot..

Come Wenger, if you signed for another 3 years... :( :o

I don't know how it's brainless? He's the manager of Arsenal football club and has brought tremendous success. If you detest him/or his approach enough to not warrant chanting his name then in my opinion you should consider finding another team to support.

The w@nkers who chanted everything else during the chant need to be lined up against a wall and smacked with a shilelagh. (if any of you are offended by me calling you a w@nker, feel free to chat with me prior to the Blackpool game on Saturday)

So anyone who doesnt join in with that Wenger chant should support another club? Anyone that shouts out abusive comments to wenger such as "buy a fucking keeper you *word censored*" should be lined up against a wall and smacked with a Shielagh?
I think your the wanker, and you will find i am not alone in this comment. How can you judge me about how i support my team. You carry on singing wengers name and inflate his french Ego this will please the board and wenger a great deal. Sing his name for the glory he had fucking years ago, with a team that was part handed to him.
Im happy you enjoyed your little sing song!

How can I judge you? I gave my opinion, which, on a forum, I am entitled to, especially when someone posts a comment in relation to a subject that is up for discussion.

I queried how is it brainless? You actually didn't answer that question...

Agreed eh! So you can also sing his name with pride! Well he has done such a great job with his constant lies and his trophies the last 6 years.
If i did meet wenger i wouldnt slap him that would be fucking stupid. I would however tell him how dissapointed i was with him and his choices, and i would tell him to his face i think he is doing a real bad job Managing Arsenal. I would also tell him the crowd are starting to turn on him and that there would be backlash unless he starts fighting for new players.

Its brainless because he does not deserve it! Would you sing a players name if he had been shit for 6 seasons running??????????????????? Or if said player came out with lies every year but still didnt improve his game.
Its pathetic to say anyone who doesnt join in with that stupid chant should support another team.
