THE WENGER THREAD

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

Where's HighburyJD to tell us that he (Toure) was bollocks for us in a pre-season friendly against Barnet?

wonga is the luckiest manager - to face a united with that amount of injuries is like winning the lottery for him. his stay of exection will be temporary though Klopp is not going to rollover, and we are very likely to get beat by southampton.
Except he will still contrive to piss it away against them. He'll send us out to gently pass laterally until the 85th minute, at which point we will go hell for leather to scrape an equaliser.

Cue Wenger remarking, post match, about "special circumstances" until it is pointed out that it was Utd with the crippling injury list this time.
i meant, at any other time we'd lose 4 or 5 Nil....

of course he does - he wants to be Wengers successor. TH14 is probaly hoping wenger stays on for another 4-5 yeasr so TH14 cna get his UEFA caoching badges and some experience.

I love TH14 deeply, but i have no idea if he will be any good as manager - if it was Pep or Klopp vs TH14, i wouldn't give him a look in.

Not sure if SteveO has covered this but Wenger says he almost signed Messi too. He wanted Fabregas, Pique & Messi but missed out because Arsenal wouldn't buy a flat for his family.

I don't care if Wenger's being truthful here, but he has become a parody of himself with his virtual XI. Just fucking stop it.

Next week:

"I invented the W M formation".

"I discovered Di Stefano".

"I scribbled the rules down for association football in 1816".

Don't worry mate - he's there in the virtual XI - with Ronaldo and Zlatan either side of him, Mata and Yaya Toure just tucked in behind

Good to know mate. To be fair to Arsene, I bet he's fucking shit-hot on Football Manager, right up until the point where he has to click on 'accept' to complete a transfer.

Then he thinks about how much interest he'll lose on the balance sheet. The balance sheet that isn't even his bloody responsibility.

He was a great player for the club, but he must think we all have short memories. He endured one bad season with the club, and fucked off to Barca, and spent the previous season himming and hawing about whether to sign a contract, even when we were in the Champions league final, and yet is telling us we are going to miss Wenger. Henry wasn't satisfied with coming 4th, but thinks our fans should be.

Henry was fantastic for us obviously,but you have to remember this is a player and a man that has bought into the cult of Wenger lock,stock and barrel,probably more than any current or ex player.

Henry was a winner,and I'd love him back in a coaching role rather than going City or somewhere as an "Ambassador", he's also Arsenal through and through (Until the Barca move) but you know he will become another Wenger nodding dog,like Pat,and Bouldy.
