He was angry with the ref according to the article. There's a first huh?
He didn't say that last night, just kept going on about the effort for no gain and that made him angry.
Read the article, he lashed out at the ref, then him & Koeman had words. A great manager, a gracious loser & a real charmer...that's our Arsene.
I heard his post match interview on the radio. That's all I heard not saying he didn't say anything about the ref, it would be unlike him not to to be honest.

Oh here we go again. YOU tell me what strikers were available. How many games have YOU managed. Why is he not being ridiculed and lampooned in the media for these complete bullshit answers?

Errr dickwad you're the one on 8 million quid a season, you answer the fucking questions not ask them. Fucking detest the prick.

Well as far as the league goes ....

CL, well we all know what's going to happen re Barca as we quite simply haven't enough WC players to do them over 2 legs.

FA Cup? Love us to win it for 3rd in a row, and yes why not? But this time (if it happens) it won't be a sad Villa or a Hull in the final, it
Will more likely be the Spuds, Citeh, Mancs or the Scouser's

Ok, ok we're still 4th hurrah! But as someone above said, we had/have a great chance of the title in this so crap season (in terms of
Consistently under performing teams, what 'normal' season would have seen Leicester up there, United soooo bad, chelskis delightful but unbelievable plight and citehs late start well.....yeah til now, but now pellegrini has lifted the weight from his shoulders, that's been burdening him, it'll be a land slide finish I fear.

And now with the real insult of Spurs really standing a good chance of top four and cheekily above us.

Oh sorry, we did buy someone to strengthen didn't we? What was his name again? Poor sod

It's his arrogance as us knowledgable ones have been saying, he simply thinks he knows best - HE DOESNT and after all these years, he's sooo Fn predicatable.

I've wanted him gone for years and God help us if he gets another contract extension before the season ends.

Look I'm an optimist and AW has turned me into a pessimist as far as football hopes go

Well done for what you've done for us, but goooooooooo PLEASE


If you'd asked me a few years ago, I would have said that there was some chance that someone would have seen the light and told him to fuck off or that fans voicing displeasure would have seen him go. Now, I just don't know how anything will ever change. I gave up on him eight years ago, been through the whole cycle of questioning what it would take to get rid of him or whether it's actually wrong of me to want failure if it means him going. Now, I actually couldn't give a fuck about the club under him. I truly love watching Sanchez, think Ozil is a wonderful player and Bellerin a decent player but why on earth are they wasting their time with him? Honest to fucking god, that is why nobody joins this club, because of him. We are missing out on excellent managers time and time again whilst this *word censored* goes off on yet another embarrassing ego-fueled quest to do things his way. He is a dinosaur, a joke, a bumbling, incompetent, disgrace of a manager no longer deserving even the merest hint of respect.

Thought this season was different, I know I am an idiot, but genuinely thought that we could do something as everyone else was crap. I still think our first 11 is the best out of all with the talent we have when all fit, but we do need a WC striker (I love Giroud btw, but he should be our Remy, Wiltord, Welbeck when he was at Utd etc). If we don't win it (and yes I don't think we will but this is a mental season so not quite ready to completely throw the towel in), he never ever will again. Has to go for me regardless. I'd love Simeone! And no I'm not about to go and call him a C*nt or Wenker as all love to slate him, he has always done what he thought best for the club as a whole and not to 'appease' the shareholders, but he's lost the killer instinct. Of course he wants to win the big things but his touch has gone.

Why is it , after a bad result everytime you put the radio on it's giving out the previous night's football results? :banghead: Salt into the wound and all that. Vardy this Vardy that, wonder goal...Tottnum into 3rd...only manage a 0-0 draw, not scored in their last 2000 league games blah, blah, blah.

I think you're right there, with Pep going to moneh citeh and all the players he will attract by his reputation and the money they can offer, I can see them dominating for a while.

I cant support Wenger. As much as I want to, my better judgement and the evidence proves he is incapable of getting the big prizes. After winning back to back FA Cups, and heading the top of the table a few weeks back, he earned the right for Arsenal fans to support him again. However, old feelings are returning with regards to a capitulation, and its unacceptable. I can handle being outclassed, and being bested by better opponents. However, I cannot accept failing due to the team suffering a complete and utter nervous breakdown, and not even putting in a challenge because the mentality of the players is so brittle, they pi.. themselves when the tension escalates.

Who knows, maybe we still might win the league given the unpredictability of the league. However, we are currently in 4th of what was supposed to be a 2 horse race, which is familiar territory.

Just down to frustration, the bloke is clueless and getting found out like his team of spineless wankers

You gotta love the brain dead AKB sheeple trying to rationalise away Pep's achievements as if any spotty teenager who's a whizz at Football Manager and wan.king into his sock drawer could have done the same .

Imagine if he'd only won 2 domestic cups in a decade :shock:

The rest of this season has the potential to be a nightmare for Wenger, there will be nowhere to hide. The Barcalona tie will most likely be a damage limitation exercise. An away defeat at Spurs would put him in a position he has never been in, genuinely trying to catch up with a confident Spurs team. Our form since the start of November has been terrible, the problems of other clubs has made us look much better than we are.

yes you are correct.
I have mentioned it on here too in that our "success" this season has been based on other teams failing rather than us actually performing better than usual. The thing is now suddenly Leicester, City and Spurs are showing a bit of form and we are being shown up.

He doesn't need to hide. We will just sail on. He'll motivate the team to get 4th, he knows he has to. The run in against mid to lower table teams with nothing to play for at the Emirates will be what saves him. Dropping into 5th and then clawing our way back to 4th at the 11th hour will be even better for him as it will be seen as a MASSIVE achievement, with the "challenge" for the title a distant memory & the failure long forgiven. He won't spend in the summer either and it will go unnoticed as all eyes will be on the Euro's.

If he does sign a new deal then my motivation to spend my hard earned following the club will be gone. I don't care what that makes me I just can't justify it any more when over the course of a season you know how its gonna play out before it happens because you've seen it all before. You wouldn't keep on paying cinema prices to see the same film over and over again which is essentially what your doing supporting Arsenal by attending matches :banghead:

We have a group chat with about 8 of us Gooners in it and literally theres 4 of us that want him gone and 4 that make excuse after excuse for why we don't compete for the big prizes. As nice as these chaps are im struggling to even want to socialise with these people now because they're holding the club back by backing Wenger constantly as they do. I mean that first half yesterday the players just strolled about like it was a meaningless mid table game.... it took them 60 minutes to finally get moving and when they did we shoulda scored 4...... A proper motivated manager would send those players out with a rocket before every game now because theyre that important. Its just so obvious that there is a totally relaxed atmosphere running through the entire club and im sick of it.

Wenger talks nonsense at his press conference, its the norm with him, but what about the press? They sit there when he gives his views on every football issue(often on things that have nothing to do with him), yet are quiet when the time comes to ask him tough questions. Why not add to the squad in the transfer window when the club was lacking in several areas? Why start Flamini over Coquelin last night? Why is it, we never adapt or change our tactical approach in any game? How do you reconcile being at the top for 20 years with the fact you haven't won the title since 2004? These are obvious questions to ask, but the media would rather stay quiet, yet you will see several anti-Arsenal articles from them throughout the season. What a spineless bunch of wankers.
