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.
And another point. Wenger's frugality with money is the biggest mistruth in European football. Listen to this analogy......
Your mobile phone contract is up for renewal. You either get a free upgrade and pay £45 per month for a 24 month contract. Or you pay £100 for the phone and pay £35 per month for a 24 month contract. Which option do you think Wenger would choose? The guy pays nothing for players, but pisses multi-millions up the wall on wages. He's sucking this Club dry.
He's a 1 trophy won in nearly 30 years of management *word censored*, I can't stand him and that was before he went to the Spuds, I hate the way he sucks up to the media and the way they return the compliment back to him. As others have said he's virtually ruined every club that he's been at, but, unfortunately, stopped this trend with the present *word censored*.
Wenger has his faults and I want him gone, but if Redknapp ever took over the managerial role at our club I would definitely stop going until he was either sacked or hopefully died.
once upon a time i agreed with the idea redknapp was better but bloody hell we could do so much better, him his team's have never finnished above wenger's AND NEVER WILL, and wanting him here is such a propper knee jerk reaction
He isnt afraid to spend loads of cash in the transfer window (too much in Portsmouths case) and he also knows a thing or two about tactics.
Something I have often wondered is where a team like Spuds get all this money they spend from. Shite Hart Lane is not a big ground by any stretch of the imagination and they havent been making loads off the CL. How can they afford to keep the likes of Modric and Bale when the Chavs apparently offered £50m(!) for the former?

They are bankrolled by that multi-millionaire *word censored* Joe Lewis!!!

This season they will finish above us
This.
How can you say his teams will never finish above ours? They're absolutely hammering us this season.
This thread is complete bollocks. I want Wenger out of Arsenal, but for that saggy faced twat? What has he done in his 20 year managerial career exactly to warrant any praise Relegated 1 team and nearly put 3 clubs out of business
He'll crash and burn if he ever becomes England manager.

Who is the better manager in the present? Remember that our wage bill is £30m - £40m more than Spurs. He has a good blend of experience and youth. He picks up genuine bargains, and not just cheap shite on massive wages. If you prefer Wenger, explain to me why Wenger has been a better boss than Redknapp over the last 18 months. I'm all ears.
It's not all him at Spurs though is it?
I don't pay much attention to things up there but isn't it that he had no input to the Van Der Vaart signing? Levy just rang him up and said "You'll never guess what I just bought you"
Who can you say that they have signed under his tenure who is very very good? Bale, Modric I'm sure were there before he was and then what?
He pissed away big bucks on Palacios, Bassong, Crouch and probably more.
I think what he has done is mould them into more than the sum of their parts.
But don't think I'm trying to disprove your point, Wenger's a fucking loon and I hate him.

this is our level now (unfortunatly) - be up for the fight for 4th wenger hasnt let us down for that yet, besides its only 9 points between us and 2nd, remember when we go into the new year 'challanging for the title' you know what happens it could all change in a fortnight - you lot propper all act so hard done by
