I finally lost my patience with Wenger last night but this post is absolute bullshit. The Invincible squad was almost entirely his own squad. Inherited it my arse

Miss you when you're gone? I'm counting down the seconds until we're rid of him the has been old dear.
Wenger didn't say that about the fans. It was aimed at journalists.

THE BOYS CRACKED IT!!! This is why we haven't won anything!
Apart from Bergkamp I can't think of one player that was at Arsenal before Wenger started in the 2004 season.
I consider it''s whether the club will try to force the issue in the summer. Sadly I think that is extremely unlikely which I find tough to accept. doubt much will change, but we need a fresh look without a doubt!!

BBC Sport "Arsene Wenger is facing greater scrutiny than at any point in his 16-year reign. But I'm told the Gunners have absolutely no intention of sacking him - regardless of whether they qualify for next season's Champions League.
"Wenger is contracted until 2014 and while we do not know how long he plans to remain in charge, increased TV revenue and a new shirt sponsorship deal mean significant funds are available to him this summer. With the likes of Arshavin, Squillaci, Chamakh and Bendtner set to leave, finances and squad places will be freed up for a number of signings. January's pursuit of David Villa shows Arsenal are ready to spend big.
"There will be no return for former chief executive David Dein, and do not expect to hear from owner Stan Kroenke, but Arsenal believe they are putting pieces in place to compete with Europe's biggest clubs in the near future. They accept the move from Highbury to Emirates Stadium - allied to the way cash-rich clubs like Chelsea and Manchester City have transformed football's landscape - has hampered progress. The hierarchy argue, however, that short-term pain will make way for long-term gain."
They always release the story of Wenger's big transfer budget for the summer, just as the present season is falling apart. It's almost as if they want to bribe us to renew our season tickets long before the summer when we see Wenger's lack of transfer ambition.
Even if we buy three top players - (Goalkeeper, Centre Back and Striker would be my choices), we still have the problem of them not being coached properly; not being organised for set pieces, not effectively getting into the box for counter attacks, not tracking back properly, not marking properly etc.
