Wenger highlight of 2011

Post by Red Member »

now as you know I don't often criticise the manager

however a recent article on the main website did concern me a bit
http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archiv ... -highlight

Wenger has identified the win over Barcelona as his highlight of the year. Whereas it may well have been for supporters I think for the manager to identify this win as his highlight is wrong as ultimately we lost the tie.
Is he saying that failure is good?

even I will admit that Wenger doesn't have much longer to turn things around and it is comments like this which make you associate him sadly more as a loser than as a winner :(

Wenger's highlight was not being able to find his pocket with his hand in the Fulham game. Incompetent in every single thing he does. :roll:

His mature handling of plastic water bottles was very impressive.

Surprised he didnt pick one of his history making games in 2011:

First team in CL history not to have a single shot v Barca

First team in premiership history to lose a 4 goal lead

Worst defeat in 115 years

I would have thought he would have been proud to achieve all these things in one year

Always piss me off reading about us "beating" Barca. It is like walking around saying you were 2-1 up at half time and think you've done something brilliant.

Wenger is making it harder and harder for even his most loyal supporters to stand by him.

And to think he could have chosen any one of these magical moments in our great clubs history. Beating Ipswich, Orient, Blackpool, Malaysia (yes, that's right a national side) or even beating Udinese in the most important game of that week.

this. it wasn't much of a victory when you lose 4-3 and go out :?
it was a good occasion but still when we did go 2-1 up it was depressing watching the tarquins get the scarves out and sing that boring fucking song :banghead:
