Can you make a banner that reads:

"Love Arsenal but dislike that Kroenke rewards failure and doesn't put any pressure whatsoever on Wenger"

Catchy enough? :rubchin:
As hlebby would undoubtedly say.....
"Doesn't scan" mate

Sounds a bit like Wenger and he are cut from the same cloth.

fair play to Kroenke for saying this to be honest.
at least he is saying it like it is. why can't Wenger come out after a match and admit that we fucked up instead of spouting nonsense about "mental strength" :roll:

and I will also defend Kroenke on not sacking Wenger - the guy is american, he views our matches from afar, and what he looks at are our balance sheets (season tickets renewed - tick) and our scope for global growth (tick up until about now...)
The league position/cup exits are irrelevant so anyone hoping for 5th and Wenger to be sacked will be disappointed.

I am currently pinning my hopes on the damage to the Arsenal brand which is taking place right now.
Arsenal and Wenger are increasingly being seen as damaged goods and a laughing stock. This is not good for business and Kroenke is a top businessman. Increase the bad publicity (Arsenal getting stuffed in Barcelona will highlight to the world what a mess the club is in - and why Wenger will play his strongest side) and struggle to shift the season tickets and Wenger will suddenly become surplus to requirements

I never thought any toher owner could make me prefer the fat Uzbeki slug, but this bastard really has.

From the £3m payment to the non-attendance to the most recent comments about fleecing away fans, this cunt is at the top of my hate list at the club.

I quote Mediocrity Stan thusly;

“Over there [in the Premier League] it was sort of like 'well, we've got guys from the Middle East, the oil price is over $100, they can spend anything they want'.

“But the problem I saw with all of that; those people can lose interest. It doesn't mean that they will, but I sort of threw that out there: 'What happens when the Middle Eastern family, this thing's costing a lot of money and they decide to go home?'


Yeah. But at least they showed some interest and delivered some real success for the fans, huh? At least they drove their managers to win some major trophies. What the fuck has this idiot driven Wenger to do? Finish 4th? Yippee. :roll: :x

Yeah fair play to the fans for that now lets see if it's belted out at the bowl, if not inside how about outside.
