Wenger Out protest thread

[Rosie_titters]

To sort this problem out once and for all. They should have 30,000 AKB at the end of the clock end and 30,000 WOB at the north bank and then a charge to the centre circle. The first to fill up their half on the centre circle wins and decides whether Wenger stays or not.

Better get your running shoes on boys.

I really hope this media attention doesn't give the AKBs the advantage and they organise a counter

Even if it does, it would serve to highlight once again, the divisions that Wanker is causing. I think the club are now becoming only too aware of the fact that one man is causing a huge problem and driving the club apart. They know that fighting is going on in the stands, they know what's happening.

I don't actually think the AKB's feel strongly enough about their cause anymore to organise any sort of counter protest, the repeated failures has even ground them down a bit, they will stand up and chant his name in the convenience of it being in the ground on a matchday when Wenger is getting stick but I doubt they have the will to do much else that requires more effort.

This is what annoys me most about AKB's though, they don't really 'believe' in Wenger, they just don't want to admit they were wrong so they slowly start to become slightly more critical of him over time without going overboard, meanwhile we stagger along with him still bungling things up in charge.

Sorry if this has already been discussed but one of the biggest failings of the "Time for Change" protest was that it was a silent protest. This made it very easy for the AKB to make themselves heard by singing "one Arsene Wenger". The media lapped this up.

I'd suggest singing a positive neutral song like "We love you Arsenal, we do..." as you march along displaying your banners. It wouldn't dilute your message and I reckon that would disarm any potential pro-Wenger fans singing over you.

To be fair, perhaps what I've said is more applicable to a protest inside the ground but thought it was worth mentioning. Good luck.

If only we knew someone with a sewing machine that could run up a few banners



I hadn't learned from previous years so had already booked flights etc for this game, thinking we might actually have something still to play for in the 2nd leg. Am so happy that my trip will now let me voice my personal opinion and won't be a big waste of time that it would've been. I'll be there at 6 bells "Oh Arsenal, We Love You!!!"

What about whoever takes the other end gets to decide? No police, no police horses, no Alsatian dogs, just a bit of old skool end-taking.

So, why the protest?
“You’re all c.nts.” “Eff off and support Spurs.” “You’re negativity will upset the players.”
“Nothing will come of it anyway.” “I’m gonna smash your face in!”
Indeed, why protest!
Personally, as you can see from the above, I have nothing to gain from it, bar a load of abuse or a nice ‘virtual shiner’ from some keyboard warrior. I’m doing it because I believe that the best thing for Arsenal Football Club is to change manager, backroom staff and move forward under someone with a new vision for the team. I’m doing it because I feel it’s the best thing for the club, not just for me, but for the club we all love and for all Arsenal fans, yes, even Geoff.
I feel that our manager is well past his best and that he is now holding us back, whilst other clubs try to push on. He should have gone after winning (just about) the cup in 2014. He then had the ideal chance last season to go out in a blaze of glory; winning the title then launching a defence of it, something we haven’t managed since the 30’s. But he didn’t, apparently not due to his or his players failings, but because Halley’s Comet appeared from nowhere and the “once in a hundred years” shock title win went the way of Leicester City. This being a team who we beat home and away, which finished 14th the season before and now languishes in 19th having just sacked their manager.
Whether you believe the club are sounding out other managers or not, he still has a 2 year contract extension on his desk, which the owner wants him to sign. An owner who buys in to sports ‘franchises’ not for the glory of sporting success, but for the financial opportunities afforded. I am fully aware that an incredibly rich US businessman, sitting in his office or his ranch back home, will give zero f..ks for fan opinion. Sir Chips certainly doesn’t care, that can be seen from the disgraceful and disdainful way he treats shareholder fans at the AGM. Arsene? I’m of the opinion he could not care less for fans if he tried. He dismisses any criticism, whether you’ve managed zero games or not, or whether you’ve played at the top level or not. You’re either with him, or you’re dead to him

But, in my opinion, and that’s all this is by the way, Arsene has a distinct lack of humility with regard his own ability. He has surrounded himself with yes men, so there is no-one to question his methods, even the Chief Executive hasn’t got the power base to hold him accountable. He is under no pressure to achieve any more than he has done for the last 5 seasons from the owner, as the financials are solid (bar commercial deals), share price high and TV money keeps on rolling in. He has no life outside of football, so will want to stay involved for as long as he can. He has ultimate power at Arsenal and will not get that anywhere else, so why take the risk. He could get a top job maybe, AC Milan possibly, PSG at best I’d say, purely on his reputation in France, but no Champion’s League win and his tenure there would be short lived. Let’s not forget, 8 million quid a year, plus bonuses, is not to be sniffed at. All this makes me think that if we just sit back and wait for him to decide, we’ll have to buckle up for another 2 years of the same old same old.
“But a march is so classless!” “The Board don’t care.” “No-one will turn up, just like last time.”
Had lots of people tell me this over last few days. So what do you suggest we do then? Write a strongly worded letter to Ivan? Call in to Adrian D’ohrham on Talksport and have a good moan up? Go on AFTV each week and rant the same rant? Go in the ground and shout abuse at Wenger? What’s the point in any of the above?
You’d get a sterile reply from the club thanking you for your interest in their affairs.
Talksport want that, so don’t feed the trolls.

Watch AFTV if you want, but you could take any rant from Claude off there from over the last 3 seasons and struggle to spot the difference. (yes DT without cap when he was just a wannabe in background )
It’s a matter of personal opinion whether Wenger deserves abuse; mine is that as much as I want him gone, I won’t do that to him, but there are plenty he has alienated to the point where they would happily do so.
Not one person has suggested a better option than a respectful, peaceful march from Highbury to the Emirates. Plenty have suggested doing nothing. What does that achieve? Wenger cannot manage forever. He will have to leave at some point, you do all realise that don’t you? Why are you so afraid of the change in manager; what is it that he is bringing to the club today, that a new manager couldn’t? You really think that at the very least, Klopp, Simeone, Pep, Conte, Allegri, Sampaoli or Jardim couldn’t get this current squad in the top 4 of the PL, out of the group stage of ECL and to the latter stages of the FA Cup?
You really think the biggest club South of Manchester, in the most exciting league in world football, in the greatest city in Europe, with a fantastic stadium (!), excellent facilities, a very good squad, and paying top whack, wouldn’t be a draw for the very best managers in world football?

“Be careful what you wish for”.
You say Moyes, I say Conte, you say Van Gaal, I say Pep. We can play this game all night if you like. I can’t guarantee what success a new manager will bring. You can’t guarantee that he won’t. This is football, the game of billions, the beautiful game. Whatever will happen when change comes about will happen. But I’m bored of Arsenal as it stands.
The manager and players repeat the same mistakes, season after season. Boring.
The club wheels out a player on dotcom to say “we need to learn from this”, yet they don’t. Boring.
Players missing chunks of a season through injury. Boring.
“We were unprepared for their commitment”. Boring.
“We showed great mental strength to come back from 3 nil down at Bournemouth”. Boring.
Arsenal Fan TV rants. Boring.
Arsenal Twitter beef. Boring. (Yes, I do realise I am as guilty as anyone of this one).
