ARE YOU JOKING???

ARE YOU JOKING???

Post by jonny3110 »

I am AMAZED at some fans calling for Wengers head after yesterdays result on here and loads of other forums, facebook pages etc??? Now I am not saying Wenger is squeaky clean after the past 5 years, but how on earth was yesterday his fault in any way???? He picked our strongest 11 available pretty much and if you don't think that lot shouldn't have beat the whipping boys Ipswitch, then I won't even say f**k off and support sp*rs, choose a different sport entirely, as you know nothing about the game.

Players fault this time. Wenger 100% squeaky clean on this occasion! They had no passion or respect :banghead:

And who, prey tell, is responsible for picking the players, deciding the tactics, making the substitutions and ultimately motivating the players to perform? :? :? Isn't that what the role of manager is? :roll: There's no getting away from it - this is Wenger's team and his responsibility.

Wenger signed these piss takers, hes tolerated their shit, stuck them on 40k a week contracts and fails to motivate them to even a basic level in a cup semi final.

The attitude at the club stinks from the youth to the reserves up to the first team and there is only person who is responsible for it - comrade arsene and his tolerance of these *word censored*.

Who motivates the team to have "passion and respect"?

Who should change things when the team isnt showing "passion and respect"?

Who having seen us play with "no passion and respect" against Leeds allowed the players to play like that again

Who has bought the players who have "no passion and respect" to play for our football club?

Its gone stale Wenger out!!!!!

Yes he signs the players but I'm not talking about the league here or Europe, they are a championship side who are whipping boys, and you dont think there was enough talent there to beat them????? Really?? Mental. Some people need just 1 person to blame in life, to point the finger at as it's an easy answer! Bollox, players fault yesterday not the managers!

except we havent ever looked like being in the wafa cup
get some perspective
people back wenger because we have always been there or there abouts with a smaller budget than our rivals

if we looked like not qualifying for the CL that is when sensible people would feel the manager is under pressure

Come on mate, its not the first time we've shown up to games expecting to win simply by being on the pitch. Its endemic in the club and its a culture that Wenger has done nothing or nothing sucessful anyway to stamp out.

We fans need to start showing what a bunch of hideous *word censored* we can be :evil:

So why couldn't Wenger 'get them up' to win the match then? :? :? Listening to you I get the impression that Wenger is the footballing equivalent of Pontius Pilate!! :oops: :oops: :roll:

Come on, players shouldnt NEED to be motivated by the manager. Its a semi final for (probably) the only thing we have a chance of winning. Its the players faults for not giving a shit!! We all know that even though we slate them for not being good enough to beat the likes of Chelski & Utd, each and every one of them has the ability to beat lower league teams. They just didnt care enoguh to do it.

Absolutely BANG ON! Look at ancelotti. Double last year, under the knife now! Effing hell, look at liverpool, they went out to a League 2 side!! Some fans are deluded, and completely ungrateful. Like I said he aint perfect, but noone in the world can do what he does on a shoestring! And I still stand by yesterday not his fault!!

Is that aimed at me?

Simple, make some fucking noise against him. How about.... Wenger Out? Or You dont know what you're doing?

Simple really and you'd be surprised how much fan pressure can still achieve in football.
