Arsenal fans sing song in support of their manager....shock horror!

Some people have just become so blinded by their dislike for Wenger its ridiculous.

The man is doing a good job end of.He gets enough stick from every other club in the country without his own fans on his back aswell.Get behind the team and manager and see where we go from there.Nothing is changing until 2014 at least so the negativity towards him is achieving nothing.

My refusal to partake in the song has nothing to do with whether I dislike the man. In for example refuse to sing slanderous songs about ex players, but it doesn't mean I like them.

My point is...we have a lot of detractors here on this forum far more than supporters of Wenger, and this is not erred at the grounds....if people want change then they have a long wait.
As for you Jacky where were you sitting in the ground yesterday?

Block 122 Row 16...Pretty much at the corner flag where they celebrated Cazorla's goal....In fact you were probably behind me because they're was a guy behind me who was not a fan of Wenger telling everybody in the place to ''fcukin shat up'' to anybody that took part in the ''One Arsene Wenger'' chant.

I dont get people knocking others who are supporting the manager of OUR football club.Ridiculous!

As much as I don't agree with your sheep-like :wink: support of Wenger, I agree it's pretty shit to have a pop at those around you that do. Just my opinion, but when I hear the AKB's I just let them at it. By the same token if I want to have a pop at Wenger I will and expect others to respect my right as a lifelong Gooner to express my opinion and not be called a spud or a judas for it.

Arsenal FC not Arsene FC. 8)

Football is a game of opinions.I have mine,you have yours...dont need the sheep-like bit mate....in fairness! At this moment in time I back the manager 100 %,an opinion formed all on my own would you believe and not one grasped from your so called ''sheep like'' mentality!

Arsenal FC whom Arsene Wenger is an employee of...whom i supported long before he came and will do after he leaves.Like i said he takes enough stick from everyone else around besides our own giving him shit at games even when we are playing well!Yesterday was not a day for people to slag the manager off as that was a great performance and one of the best away performances in a long time.

Whoooooooooooooooooossssssshhhhhhhhh!! :roll: :lol:

Did you see the "winky" ( :wink: ) emoticon right after "sheep-like", mate? :rubchin:

But I agree there was little to moan about yesterday. But that was one game. Believe me, Arsene will make so many bad decisions this season (like every one of the last 5 or 6 seasons) there will be plenty of excuses to have a pop.

On what fcuking basis do you determine that he is doing a good job ? Tactics clearly ain't his thing, judging players (below average al, bendtner, chamakh, feo, the forehead etc etc) isn't his thing, financial management (giving out bumper contracts to sub standard crap) ain't his thing so what the fcuk is his thing ? If the guy was appointed 5 years ago he would have lost his job by now but he is living off past glories and take offense to the sheep comment if you like but if you cannot see these things for yourself then sheep is an accurate assessment

Its amazing how many non-Arsenal fans still think the guy is doing a great job. I had a couple of weeks holiday in Turkey recently and watched a couple of PL games with fans from other teams - a real spread from the usual plastic Mancs, Mickeys through to a couple of Swansea fans and a Southampton fan - and the verdict is almost unanimous i.e. that he is a great manager, is still doing a great job and that when he goes Arsenal will be much the worse for it.

Liverpool fans in particular think he's brilliant and said that they wished they had a manager like him

I beg to differ of course, but there you go. He still has the respect of the majority

The worst criticism that you hear is that he's "maybe a bit stubborn" but its 95% positive.

Roll on the contract renewal in 2014.........I did warn you :D
