I'm not sure who the :cussing: are?

The manager,
The board
The players

Or is the answer all of the above.

The club is becoming a joke. Even more so because, to the club this isn't anything to worry about, we will still make a profit this year and thats what it's all about. :banghead:

I woke up today with confidence, happy that I would see the same article on arsenal website as I saw on celski few weeks ago, it would look like this "Arsenal FC has parted company with manager Wenger". :barscarf:

But then I had to really wake up and realise we don't have such luck with our Board. :banghead:

Buy Wenger a oneway ticket back to France. Train ticket, because Arsenal does not have any money :lol: .
Gervinho and Squilacci can run behind, it would be the first time they actually do something with legs.

for two whole years now I've been wanting him out. I'm happy to support a club that does it's best with the very good resources we clearly have but to waste 30m on gervinho, giroud and chamahk says it all. He is not the man he was 6 years ago and I quite frankly can't respect any Arsenal supporter that wants him to stay.

I've had it with their apathy and lack of passion for our club, that includes the AKB's, board and manager. fuck them all

Wenger is an economist or has a degree in economics or some such shit. If you look at the way he always talks up the stats (apparently Legohead was one of the best midfielders in Engerland because his pass completion stats were so high - never mind that 99% of his passes were fucking useless 5 yard sideways passes :roll: ) and if you look at the way we play tippy tappy you can see that Wenger’s obsession with stats is choking us to death.

We make so many pointless little passes of 5 and 10 yards sideways, backwards and sideways again between players under no pressure and very seldom pick out the defence-splitting decisive pass. It’s like we are trying to accumulate enough pass-completed stats for Wenger to point at in press conferences...

We had 70% possession, and made 525 passes, but were a leetle unlucky, maybe 21% unlucky in the final third... blah blah blah:blah: :roll:

He is obsessed with stats, with numbers. He’s obsessed with quantity to the detriment of quality, like all economists. :| :x

The only way the fella will be leaving is when Kroenke goes. We need to turn up the heat on the owner - he is responsible for employing him and with 67% of the votes will be responsible for when he goes. Every year AW makes Kroenke richer by selling our best players and getting him to the promised land of the Virtual Trophy

There isn't a single league defeat or cup exit that will get Wenger the sack - only when he stops making Kroenke money will he be sacked (or more likely contract allowed to run out hence avoiding any compensation payments)

As much as I like the bloke I think he has to go.

He has done a hell of a lot for our club but the past seven years has left fans feeling mugged off and taken for granted. Our once great team has gradually been torn apart and great parts been replaced with those of lesser quality. The fact that we make a profit and sell our best players doesnt help; add to that the rise in ticket prices and pathetic showing this year and you are left with a rather potent cocktail which I fear needs to be stopped before it becomes nasty and personal.

Wenger has done a lot of good for this club, but the board are not listening to the fans or lookng at the results (and quality) on the pitch, and the only way the fans will get is more and more frustrated and angry.

Stop this in the rot now; replace Wenger with dignity and move him to a Director of Football type role - he doesn't deserve the shit that will go his way if it isn't addressed soon; it should be the board's decision and it needs to be done NOW.

Cannot agree with the last sentence at all. Moving him upstairs would just allow him to carry on the 'Project'. He needs to be removed TOTALLY from the club.

See, this is what happens when you give current employees statues/busts. All that shite should be done at a later time.

Can't agree with you gingeadams...it would be impossible for any other manager to work at the club if Wenger had any presence there. Then if the new manager didn't work out the board would probably revert to Wenger short-term. It has to be a clean break between Arsenal FC and Wenger . The malaise goes beyond Wenger, from Wenger up needs to be moved out. I don't think that will happen.

PS... You know you have gone to the depths when Phil Brown is sniggering at your manager on SSN.

He has to go , a full strength Arsenal team and no recognised striker (wtf is that all about). Selling RVP to manure a bloody disgrace.
So there is a supporters meeting tonight with Ivan , i hope they make it clear .

One thing we have all learnt is that Fan Power means nothing anymore. Also those who go the the Emirates never really seem to give the manager stick. Ok boos here and there but considering what has happened nothing really.

Mate apparently we had 5 strikers last night?

The bloke is actually talking as though we did nothing wrong and couldn't have done anything more to go through last night.
