Answer to the thread title - Wenger going ASAP

[LeGinge (Northern Branch)]

Honesty. That's all I want!

The fact that this meeting between RvP and Wenger happened months ago and nothing has been said smacks of what EVERYBODY on here suspected all alone - The club were waiting for us mugs to renew before dropping this particular piece of sh1t.

The board are a disgrace!

The manager is a disgrace!

The current philosophy of the club is a disgrace!

If they just told us the truth instead of spouting sh1t rheteric and feeding us sh1t such as Djourou's favourite Arsenal memories on pravda I think I would at least show a little more understanding if not respect (I don't think I could ever respect these cretins now)

honesty is unrealistic, means giving up a competitive advantage

[augie]

Jd I know that a few pages back you did admit that your satisfaction was conditional on the rvp saga having a positive ending so this isnt an "I told you so" comment but I am wondering how confident you are now ? Do you see any way possible that the rvp saga can have a good ending ? Do you believe that we will buy players of a sufficent quality to replace our captain if he goes and do you envisage any effect his departure would have on squad morale ?

Wenger to leave the club and the country and never come back!

Gibbs will be a top left back when he finally gets over his injury problems.

yeah, and db10gooner with be considered an actual man when he finally gets taller than a garden dwarf, but it ain't happening either...

(I wonder if there's such a thing as a 'Low Five' - instead of the high five emoticon, ?? well somehow I think it would seem more appropriate

You mean the competetive advantage of the club over its members...

Agree with LeGinge...but I never had any realisitic expectation of anything else. I am happy in my knowledge that the players don't love the club (and why should they?), that the manager and board may have other agendas than what appears in public, that the support are mainly apathetic and buy the club's party line, and that anyone who comes into contact with Arsenal are now a customer to be bled dry rather than a fan of a football team.

I fucking hate Arsenal at the moment. But they're still a little bit like that teacher you had a school that you really really wanted to fuck.

She's probably about 55 now, seen much better days, titties down by her knees and the like.

But you still would wouldn't you? If she gave you the come on.

Just the once like. And then you'd feel dirty all over.

Well that's how Arsenal make me feel these days.

Good for a few minutes, then dirty all over.

I've completely lost sight of the point you're making but I would fuck pretty much any ex-teacher, male or female, as a matter of principle.

Personally I cannot wait for the new season to start. Yes it's been a shambolic summer so far and yes we have another one of our best players leaving, maybe it's the tennis that's been on or the shitty cricket that's made me realise just how meaningless life is when you are not able to watch The Arsenal. All the drama, the high's, the low's, the come-backs, the 90th min winners, all of these combined make football what it is - a never-ending drama!
Im sure I'm not the only one on here who can't wait for all this mickey mouse transfer season to be over and get on witht the task in hand to tackle the rest of the premiership.

Having just watched and re-lived the invincibles 49 unbeaten season on youtube i can't help but feel excited about the new season despite all the shit that's going on the moment. Our team could be good bad or in-different but thats what makes it all exciting. Players have left before and been replaced and if only some money was invested by kroenke and for Wenger to actually spend it then maybe I wouldn't be the only excited about the new upcoming season ahead.

LOVE LIFE, LOVE ARSENAL, HATE THE BOARD

[northbank123]

I'm always looking forward to the new season come August, however pathetic our plight seems. Not got the buzz yet though, there's just too much shit around the club at the moment and the picture's not going to become clear for a few weeks yet.

On another note, I find asking Kroenke to "invest" is a bit misleading. It implies that we're asking him to pump his own money into the club, whereas in reality if we could actually spend a considerable portion of the vast operating profits we've generally made over the last few years then that would pacify most fans.

[brazilianGOONER]

Widsy, i merged your new topic with this one as both share the same subject, so that the discussion can be mantained in one place.

Kroenke is a billionaire chairman who has done absolutely for our club since he has been here. He seldom attend's games, gives any opinion on current team affairs and shows no interest in the playing side of things therefore an investment however big or small ensures the team remain competitive and allows the chairman to squeeze every penny out of the club before selling for a healthy profit therefore an investment of some sort is the minimum you expect from someone it that kind of position. I don't mean £100 million as such, just enough to ensure key areas are strengthened using any profits we have and a small investment to ensure we remain competitive come the start of the season and not start this season the same as the last. A defensive-mid & creative midfielder and a back up goalie are essential for our title-push. The spine of the team was almost complete with szczesny in goal, vermaelen and koscielny at the back, arteta & Song in the middle and Van persie up-front. All that was missing in my opinion and many others was a left-back, a proper defensive Midfielder and a creative midfielder infront of Arteta and Song. Since Van Persie decided he would not continue with us it leaves an obvious void upfront which i think will be filled by Podolski as he is more effective as a striker than as a left-sided midfielder. I also think this is the season where gervinho steps up and shows us what he's made of after a decent first season (If only he could improve his shooting).

Thanks BG, Appreciated.
