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.

Watching Aguero in the final v Liverpool. Fast, alert, aware, bristling with menace. EVERYTHING, that Walcott, Giroud, Chamberlain aren't. I don't care who we buy, with Wenger at the helm he'll still F*** it up. Ozil could/should be a much better player. Mourinho was right, Wenger doesn't use him properly. The fact is Wenger doesn't utilise ANY of the players properly. He either plays them out of position or runs them into the ground.Wenger out out out!!

You are getting a bit of stick for this and I wouldn't go as far, but defeat in the next three fixtures wouldn't do any harm long term. Seeing the scum in the CL and us not might be just as effective as money lost might get the attention of the owner more than Spurs winning the league and us still qualifying for CL. The problem of next season under TOF is serious, Spurs are level if not ahead of us in terms of squad, desire and manager, LFC, Manure and the Chavs will improve next year and even West Ham have a better manager. Something drastic needs to wake Kronke up on his super ranch but I don't want it to be the scum winning the title, that's a bridge to far.

We need another protest march but this time against wenger and the board it's about time we all got together.This club is a perfect example with what's wrong with modern day English football, overpayed players,high ticket prices and working class fans being priced out of following the club they love, don't get me wrong I can take my team losing but at least show some bloody fight and bottle.

Agree that a protest is warrented, but I just cannot see anything like enough fans being bothered. The old fans have withered away and feel he is untouchable, many new fans think he is Gods gift still. The last protest was an embarrassment, I think a few more than Stoke railway station but it was piss poor. AFC see to it that no banners or even a hanky can come into the Grove, so it can only happen inside an away ground. We need someone who is good with a sewing machine to knock up different banners "AFC mediocracy under Wenger for 11 years" "We need a manager with tactical skills" "Even Specialist in failure banners", though that could lead to fisticuffs and Wrighty saying its all disrespectful :oops: theres loads that can be shown and done . The Villa fans had Randy Learner out scarves and chants yesterday. We hardly even hear a boo these days. :evil:

Whenever you listen to vox pop stuff outside The Grove you get mindless we are gonna win the league comments- honestly deluded is probably around 60% of our fans at The Grove, another 20% are tourists. :banghead:

However leaving early is a waste of time as many have done so already :oops:

People that go to home games are mostly tourists or ST holders that still want Wenger to stay so there won't be an effective protest at a home game any time soon. Amazingly though when 3 people upload a clip on YouTube at Stoke railway station there is moral outrage and the very journos who are calling him out now, leap to his defence and produce the "he deserves to decide when he leaves shit" and condemn those involved

Can I remind people that what those 3 did at Stoke was to boo, I think at worst say "fuck off" and told Joel Campbell he'd better off leaving. Whoppee fucking do. Its hardly a Turkish style pelting of a coach is it? We'd just suffered our worst start to a season since 1982 (an era when supposedly we were absolute ***** and fired managers who got us to 4 cup finals in 3 years) and we're all supposed to do what exactly......write a polite letter to the club, call the MP for Islington, or form a debating society ?? FFS - protest and you're damned, don't protest and you're damned. As long as there isn't violence involved or any distasteful shit like the paedo / death threat shite, then are a few chants and boos really such an outrage ?

Totally agree with you mate I just thought it would make the board sit up and take notice if we managed to get numbers outside the ground and embaress them while they were having their posh meals in their posh restaurants overlooking us the undesirables, us the fans that want our club back.We can then go back to the pubs and have a bloody good sing song because let's be honest they don't like us singing at the bowl.

You can protest but like iv'e said before the board really couldn't care!!

As long as they are finishing in the top four and Wenger is hardly splashing any cash they are literally laughing all the way to the bank. And if a protest did make them get up from their posh meals in their posh restaurants they would probably look out the window and think "Have a look at these clowns out there!"

I agree 100%, and that's the problem I have with some anti-Wenger supporters. They say they want him gone, but will call people every name under the sun if they have the nerve to say anything that could be deemed disrespectful towards the manager. What those guys did at Stoke was to lash out at the root cause of all the awful things we as Arsenal fans have had to endure for the best part of a decade. Watching this arrogant, deceitful wanker attempt to fool the fans with his list of excuses, and his unwillingness to accept any criticism for his failures. How dare those fans travel the whole way to Stoke and shout abuse at the manager, or those guys holding the banner at the West Brom game, no they should stay quiet and hope that Wenger will just suddenly decide to leave :roll: The only thing that will see Wenger go is constant abuse at games, watch him try to explain the fans anger away.

I would keep Wenger for another decade if it meant that lot didn't win the league.

Does anyone know a scarf manufacturer?

Scarfs with Anti-Wenger type could be displayed home or away...just an idea.

I have said it before and will say it again - the season ticket holders keep Wenger in a job.
If you don't renew he will go.

And if you do renew then can you please boo him now and again.
Thanks

Top 4 won't be necessary from next season with the amount of money coming into the PL.
Arsenal PLC will already have worked that out.
It might take our supporters a few years to cotton on

If you don't renew the season tickets will get snapped up by people in the ten year odd waiting list so the same amount of season tickets will still be sold. the stadium will still be full whether we are finishing in 4th or 14th and the board certainly know that!
