Can he embarrass himself any further??
Can he embarrass himself any further??
Someone at the club please stop Arsene from talking anymore. As if it was bad enough him saying a couple of weeks back that we couldn't be considered ambitous if we sold Cesc and Nasri, to come out today with 'I expect no one to leave the club' is beyond belief. (Were Nasri and Cesc walking behind him with suitcases in hand just to add to the comedy of his comment??).
Whether it's pressure, age or a secret drug habit, the guy is clearly deluded, losing the plot, not only making irration decisions but coming out with unfathomable comments. He is starting to damage (yet further) the credibility of the club everytime he speaks. The guy is not fit for office.
Assuming we're good enough to avoid relegation, the biggest disaster this year will be if we finish 4th. 4th will no doubt again be a long way off the pace but be sufficient once again to passify the Board. If we are not to seriously challenge then something drastic has to happen by way of on pitch failure to force change at the club. Maybe some good would come of being dumped out by Udinese? Trust me I take no pleasure is saying this or thinking this way, none at all.
I understand people saying that for everything he has done for the club Arsene doesn't deserve to ever be sacked and has earned our loyalty. But I dare say I've been an Arsenal fan alot longer than Arsene, attended matches regularly long before he ever set foot near the club and for that reason, I and my fellow suffering Gooners don't deserve to feel this dismayed and devastaed at the direction he's led our club in.
Just when I thought things couldn't get worse at the club, events since May have proved me very wrong. It's sad sad times and for the first time in my life I'm dreading the new season starting.

I tell you something, I would actually buy it. One of the funniest recordings I own is the old "Do I Not Like That" Graham Taylor video. When you've had a few pints and the lads are over some of the quotes on that have you rolling around...Trevheff wrote:Word has it Arsene is bringing out a new DVD at Christmas to challenge Michael MacIntyre.
I actually think I might contact a media organisation to release "Arseneballs" the DVD this Christmas, a sort of countdown top 40 of the greatest post match babble you've ever heard.....just what you need to cheer you up when the turkey's been finished and the Great Escape is on ITV for the 50th year running

Well, I think the last time it happened I was 5; but the "special circumstances" and "Carl can play there too" comments unfortunately strained the bladder to the point that the next quote would be fatal and so it provedEboue-Why? wrote:And for the last 20 years Steve I've been thinking that only my missus did that!!SteveO 35 wrote:Just look at the Arsen Wenger's quote thread mate - there's plenty more ammunition where that came from

Oh, erm I've heard about those sort of DVDs, erm a 'mate' of mine told me about them, not that I've ever watched that sort of thing you'll understand........Trevheff wrote:Eboue-Why - A mate of mine can lend you some special DVD's to prove otherwise. It's 'a mate' you understand, they're not mine .............

It's just sad. Wenger used to be so credible and respected, and with good reason. He was an astute manager who took the league by surprise and put Arsenal on the top of it.
Now things are just getting comical, and I do not like the fact that it invites some very negative comments about the man personally, saying he's "geriatric", "deluded", "senile"... I don't think it's respectful to insult or judge someone due their age.
However, AW continues to make nonsensical statements that border on crazy and you don't have much choice but to wonder "wtf, why would you possibly say that?" It was easy to defend "I don't know, I didn't see it" - sticking up for players is one thing - but when you say "No one is leaving" in the midst of Cesc leaving, and "We have Vermaelen as a new signing" it's like... well, wtf?
