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.

Yeah, that would be fantastic. I'd love that so much. As proud a moment as Eduardo diving against Celtic and Pires diving against Portsmouth.

Wouldn't it just be fucking great to beat them fair and square like we used to every bloody year up until 2004
What you are forgetting is we WON and had we not you would be boo hoo'ing....losing graciously is not as good as winning dirty
Yeah problem being they have spent about 500 million since then on new players :banghead:
Don't be a fucking bellend all your life mate - I'm not boo-hooing about anything. If you want to idolize cheating scumbags and want our players to act like them, then that's your viewpoint. It certainly isn't mine. It is possible to win by playing hard, even dirty....you just don't need to go round waving cards in ref's faces and acting like a chopped tree when someone treads on your toe. Perhaps you'd be better off watching all the La Liga matches - right up your street

Ignore him, SteveO.

The bloke posts some of the most ill-informed shit I’ve ever seen on this forum, and that’s saying something. It’s like someone spliced Red Member and USMartin.

To be honest you shouldn't be idolising anybody as a grown ass man...you have to evolve, and if you win by reducing the opposition to 10 or 9 men or going down easily for a pen then so be it, be better at it than the opposition.

Yeah because everything about evolution is great isn't mate - skin cancer, the X Factor, celebrity culture, obesity, the BNP, chemical weapons - everything that develops over time is for the greater good isn't it, you fuckwit. If you want to go and support a cheating bunch of c.unts under the banner of The Evolution of Football then take your place amongst the Bridge faithful you fucking cretin. Lets copy what Costa did today and all be proud of it

I'm glad that Wenger's post-match interviews pretty much reflected my feelings on the game, but really, he looks like a beaten man who's no longer in control of the situation (in general).

Whilst I don't blame him or the team for our downfall today, the fact of the matter is that if he'd built up a team of proper men, these types of situations wouldn't occur in quite the same way. And if decisions did go against us, we'd have the resolve do actually do something about it, rather than just melt. Fuck, even if we lost 5-0 and went down fighting I'd be okay with it, but the players didn't seem remotely bothered about what had transpired just before half-time. It seemed like they were happy to go through the motions for 45 minutes, go home, and collect their paychecks.

agree mate,i can see why you are VoiceOfReason!! the sad thing is that the team reflect Wengers deficiencies so very well,a top class manager would take us to the title with our current squad.the team has no real Men,oh for a Martin Keown,we are a fluffy cute outfit instead of a horrible killing machine :(

Gabriel seems like a real man. Look where he ended up today. I know what you mean though, they should have come out in the second half and wound that knuckledragger Costa up non stop. Wenger should have TOLD them to do that. But no, just come out go through the motions and if we lose, we lose..... We have been hard done by so boo hoo everybody will understand. If I was on that field at the end of the game I would have refused to shake Costa's hand and told him never to approach me for a handshake ever again. We have zero bottle, everything done to us is accepted without complaint.

Absolutely right.Wenger has built a team of pussies.He has built a losing mentality so when decisions go against us the team just lay down and take it.Mourinho knows he can bully Wenger and our players.Chelsea had been battered by Everton last week they were on the ropes there for the taking yet we turned up at the Bridge and said do what you like to us we wont fight back.Our players today were cowards.Remember OT in 2003 when the ref wrongly sent off PV4 and gave Man Utd a dodgy pen.Did we take it? did we fuck we attacked Van HorseFace at the final whistle.Chelsea reflect their manager we reflect Wenger

Wenger is a passive old fucker. Last week I think it was Wrighty or Merse said the team were playing poorly and at half time. Pat Rice started shouting and dishing out some abuse to the players. And Wenger told him not to shout at the players. Now we know why the players have no fucking backbone and just sit there never challenging him or his decisions.

The manager remains the same; we lack strong characters now, probably because "none were available".
