After claiminghe would rather commit suicide than concede the title, I see that he has now conceded the title

I think he may actually just be mental

Found his suicide comment distasteful, but you are correct in the bigger picture his own words Thursday or Friday suggested he wasn't worthy of being Arsenal manager if he didn't believe he could win the title...On Sunday he said he didn't believe Chelsea could be stopped. Therefore Arsene you are no longer worthy...

Cheer up lads, at the very least wenger jacket issues are solved and available to us all in the latest cynical marketing approach....no 1 on my chrimbo list!!!

How does this get started up, in the stadium there will be resistance to any Wenger out chants or banners. Outside protests attract a bit of media attention but its a plain to see and hear protest in the stadium that is needed. I cannot see that happening at The Emirates . If (or when) things start to go wrong against Man Ure I suggest a clearly audible "one Paul Merson" could have a big impact with the media .

whats all this cack about being 20m to spend on defenders in jan? he had more than that unspent in the summer, so to word it like that is suggesting he didnt have the funds in summer.

and why is it so low? where is the cash

It was distasteful and, in light of the shit that fell out of his mouth after the Swansea debacle, absolutely moronic: "I may as well kill myself if we cannot challenge for the title", follwowed by "we cannot win the title".

I used to respect him immensely, but I cannot stand the sight nor sound of the man now.

I actually think that's pretty clever. The problem is Merse seems even more of a divisive character than Wenger, going by posts on here.

I know people on here think that home games are a massive wenger love in but I don't think it's like that anymore. More and more people are turning against him. Large sections of our support also want a change but don't want to turn on him and hound him out, but many more shit results and they will finally turn.
To me the manc game is now massive..lose it and the tide will well and truly have turned.
He's such a jammy bastard though we'll probably turn in our best performance of the season and thrash the fuckers!!

[Herd]

If you really want to get to him ,then you need a strong character to get access to an after match press conference where we have been raped and tear into him in a polite but firm way .
It cannot be that difficult to get someone in !

Also an online petition might also help as there are thousands who want him gone but don't like the protest method.
I really don't think its worth doing until nearer the end of the season.

I also think the Banner from here should be flown at every away match .

[Gunner Rob]

its a bit disappointing that some posters have been very quick to dismiss a possible protest as "wont happen" or "will never ever get the numbers" That kind of response is why the club is in the mess it is in right now anyway! it is no better than Wenger thinking that we can never win the league

of course a protest can happen and I think the fact that we have 3 very tough home games coming up makes this the ideal opportunity. one isolated protest won't work though. this needs to be BEFORE every home game for the forseeable future.
AFTER games is no good - look at how quick people are to head off home as it is!

I would have thought outside the Armoury would be the best place for starters and then just watch it grow and grow week after week. if you have just 100 people for a first protest it will multiply pretty quick once the media pick up on it and the wider fanbase becomes aware of it. Personally I am not going now until Southampton as I already boycott all category A games and can't take any more CL crap after being behind the goal in the clock end for last week's shambles...

if there was a protest planned though I would probably still show up outside the ground.

[Gunner Rob]

the United game is a win win situation now as far as I am concerned - win and yes finally we have beaten them, lose and it is a massive step nearer the exit for Wenger! I will have a bet on the draw to cover that angle too

£3 million got taken out by Kroenke in the summer and he is probably planning another raid in January.

He is as much of a disgrace as Wenger, a yes man, happy to toe the party line, in order to earn a big salary. If Bould had any respect for himself, he would quit, and lash out at Wenger in the media for being a dictator, but that will never happen, does anyone at Arsene PLC have any principles?

What would that accomplish? Who would want to hire someone who is bashing people that they are staffed under? As much as we'd all love him to come clean, what would that say to other potential employers if he came out and told the truth? Not much from a career perspective. It'd be like you going into a job interview and chastising your former employers.

It isn't a wise career move.

He could easily leave, and do an interview with the press, saying something along the lines of, I was never consulted by the manager, he wanted control of everything and i felt undermined. Also how many coaches have left positions, slagged off their employers, and still got a job somewhere else.
