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.
"Spend some fucking money, "6% you're avin a larf" and blaming the board etc are all very valid but I'm afraid right now and until he's gone its Wenger who must be the focus. The other stuff just takes the responsibility off Wenger and dilutes and confuses the main issue of years of mis-management.
It also gives the AKB's arguments for not pinning any blame at all on the GIC.
Get Wenger out first and foremost. Hes the problem. Concentrate on that and all will be rosy in the Anti-Wenger garden.

But Wenger is the problem first and foremost. Over £50 mil spent on garbage summer gone past. 4-4 Newcastle. 8-2 Old Trafford.
The wage increases to the shite players - no wonder what your thoughts on our board, they've backed AW in a way no other clubs would. Can you imagine the Glazers letting Fergie pay Darron Gibson, David Bellion and Obertan over £60k a week?! You crazy!
For me it's simple. Our wage bill is huge. We cannot beat Wolves, can't handle Spuds, lost to Steve Kean and get gimped by the Mousers at home. It's a footballing problem, not a directorial one there and it's all down to Wenger.
Getting rid of him should be First priority. £7 mil a year? He's draining the club. As soon as he goes then it will be the time to turn on that twat Gazidis and Kroenke.
Quick trivia for you though: who was it that rubber stamped the appointment of Gazidis? And who was it that turned down a far better candidate in Paul Donovan, because he would prove too challenging, and ask questions of the manager?
Oh yeah. WENGER!
Baba, there's little if anything in your post that I disagree with. However, you've highlighted the incompetence of our Exec Team above. The very fact that our board/management team allowed Wenger to have a say in the appointment of his own boss should tell you everything you ever needed to know about how Arsenal is run.
My wish for 2012? That I'm a lucky enough bastard to turn up for work and find that I can negotiate pretty much any contract I want, and have a say in who I report to.....
And as usual the blind and I'm afraid to say stupid AKB's think the unrest surfacing again is just because of a draw with Wolves.
Kiwomya, I realize you're probably under 16 years old, but seriously mate, open your eyes and you may be able to see that Arsenal have been going backwards for years, all thanks to one man - Arsole Wenger.

You seem to have been tipped over to the dark side completely since yesterday mate
TeeCee Kiwomya is a diehard Wenger apologist. It's like trying to talk rationally with someone from the Waco Cult in Texas. Always an excuse, always a reason, never Arsene's fault, everything is rosy. Nothing to show dissent about. It's as if it came straight from the mouth of Wenger's very own child.
Imagine how Kiwomya and his cult members are going to react the day Arsene leaves? I have provided a clue underneath:

KJ - I've wanted Wenger out for the last 3 years mate!!
It's so fucking obvious that Wenger is killing us, it's seriously winding me up now, even more so than before!! Hence I won't be going to any more games from now on.

I was reading some of your posts on the way home yesterday and agreed with everything you said mate. Unbelievable how some on are can still defend him.
You can make excuses for him for bad results (in football it happens) or not splashing out (while he's manager its his call) but you can't excuse his lack of tactical thinking, bringing Arshavin and then Chamakh on when we are chasing a goal is beyond laughable, he does it all the time, anyone who was at the game could see it was crying out for the opposite of those two, he knew it too, everyone did but the manager, that you can not excuse, what's worse is those players look like they want out, to then hope they will bust a gut to change the game is baffling beyond belief.
I know I gave the banner boys stick before, I honestly felt it was premature then, the players (not manager) needed our support at that time, now I wouldn't even get into it, the manager is abusing the players, his position and the supporters with his stubborn arrogance, Jan is fast approaching, you will get your moment no doubt, will be interested to see how it pans out.

This thread hadn't been touched for over a month until we get a dodgy draw with Wolves.
I agree that Arsenal aren't moving forward - I've never said they were, though.
