and wenger is the one blaming two away games in the champions league for this.

which is just laughable.

if i fucked up at work and said it's because i'd been working some overtime, they'd sack me.

and quite right too.

i am 43 and i've been watchin football in the flesh and on TV since i was what 4/5 ? and i still can't figure out why any manager would take walcott, gervinho, giroud and podolski and think that the best thing to do is put gervinho in the middle, and podolski out wide and leave giroud on the bench ?

why not gervinho and walcott out wide and griroud and/or podolski in the middle ?

seriously why ?

thats NOT the board, and that's NOT the players...

He did finally realize his mistake and put Mertersaker in as striker. I thought that was genius as it works and is effective....

He should have just brought Coquelin on to preserve the point at home against the might of Swansea!!

Yeah, you'd get the sack and not your boss.

Spot on. Wenger believes he is some sort of genius that see it completely different from us normal folk. Some fans still want to believe the guy is a magician.

I hate to speak out of turn but the Emperor really is naked.

I think Wenger is as at fault as much as the players.

Reading some comments on here you'd think Wenger played Swansea on his fucking own.
Who buys the players,who picks the team and who coaches them?

This is what most people are saying on here. I have never wanted an Arsenal manager to be sacked - not Neil, not Howe, not Graham. This is the first time I have ever felt like this. None of us want to feel this way about an Arsenal manager, we have been driven to it. His arrogance is astounding towards the fans, which just rubs salt into the wounds.

I agree with you Thomas , never wanted a manager out before either . But it is the board and the owner too, my hope is that a new manager would not put up with selling his best players and spending fuck all (as in net spend)

The fault also lies with those that sold out to Kronke , now where are they buried , let's dig them up !

Lukaku is going to doggy-style our defence. He is the closest you can get to Drogba and, like Drogba, he will be our downfall for many years to come (unless we get a tactically intelligent manager like Moyes).

Of course the players should take some blame, but who is responsible for not getting the best out of them? He needs to get the message.

Perhaps he would rather not qualify for these matches then if they are such a nuisance.

I reckon Ivan has a plan - to see in Feb if Man City will swap places with us as we are still in the League Cup, just like he so foolishly did last season :banghead:
