THE WENGER THREAD

[baulbag]

I stand corrected!

I learn something new every day

Haven't seen this anywhere else on this forum

Alisher Usmanov, the Arsenal owner and the richest man in Russia, has bought the Nobel prize that was sold by James Watson, one of three people who won the prize for discovering the DNA double helix. Usmanov will now give it straight back to him — leaving Watson with the medal as well as the record-breaking $4.1 million that Usmanov bought it for.


Small change to the man. I'm sorry but there'd be no more faffing about with him in charge!

FWIW people forget AW was born in Alsace (formerly in Germany) and is fluent in German - from the Article, this will fox the Emirates Gestapo (ironically) :

"Arsène, danke für die Erinnerungen, aber es ist Zeit zu gehen."

i'll put a tenner towards a banner that says that

I Still prefer:

"Arsène, danke für die Erinnerung, aber es ist Zeit zu verpissen"

I keep hearing that top players are only attracted to Arsenal because of Wenger.

Players are interested and contemplate coming to Arsenal because it's Arsenal, and we can afford to pay the wages that most top players command.

Remember, Bruce Rioch signed Dennis Bergkamp.

Afraid to say he didn't mate. That was down to David Dein.

Not everything is what it seems on the surface.

So are you saying we might be wrong about Wenger!?

[baulbag]

He's obviously bought it for the future, but what a nice gesture giving it back.

I'd much prefer him in charge!

Unbelievable! The article is bad enough, but some of the comments are just insane. I don't know why I bother commenting on articles like this, just to have to put up with ridiculous statements from some people.

Agree. Anyone who refers to Wenger as "the most important individual in their club’s history" really makes my blood boil. I don't think too many would disagree that surely that crown goes to Herbert Chapman with all the influence and innovation he showed to football in general let alone The Arsenal. You could even argue that Henry Norris would come before Wenger in the importance stakes.

But then football didn't exist before the Premier League and Arsenal didn't exist before Our Glorious Leader.

If anyone ever needed any more convincing about what a first rate c u n t Paul Merson is then he just uttered the words

"Arsenal fans need to be careful what they wish for Geoff" and compared us to Charlton fans with Alan Curbishley

This from the man who declared us as the worst team without the ball in all four divisions last season

Fucking hate the thick twat with a passion

[VoiceOfReason]

What a twat Niall Quinn is. He's covering the game on Sky, and basically put all our woes down to David Dein leaving, saying that had he still been there, we'd have had better players coming in. Which totally absolves Wenger from any blame. Laughable, really.

Meanwhile, you've got Paul Merson sitting next to him, wheeling out the old, "Be careful what you wish for" line.

This could conceivably go on for another twenty years, at this rate.

Arsenal fans supporting the claims of the biggest *word censored* in football : Jamie Redknapp.
You fucking couldn't make this up.

I read this earlier, absolute load of bollocks. Lots of talk about what Wenger's done in the past, absolutely nothing about what he offers us in the future.

Fuck me this thread has turned into an episode of 'allo 'allo

Good moaning

Well there are plenty on here who think Dein leaving was a major part of our decline.

In my view it does not absolve Wenger from blame, it shows that Wenger should have had a replacement for Dein when it was clear Dein was not allowed back.
Though Quinn may have meant that, cannot be sure.

[falkirk goon]

Still 100% against

Hold my hands up he's proved his critics wrong tonight. Be careful what you wish for!
