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.
But sadly none of them ever do,Wenger escapes real vitriol from the press time and time again,he NEVER gets the abuse he deserves from them for Arsenals decade of failure,its fucking bollocks,he's untouchable in the press when they all know he is to blame for all the clubs mis-management and woeful tactics,it makes me fucking sick,I wish just for once someone would actually come out and slaughter him,but they never do.

Someone give Jacqui a call, I bet she's up for round 2!
Wenger is like an admiral collecting battlecruisers in an age of aircraft carriers. Unfortunately, he is far too long in the tooth to change but has too much credit in the bank to be questioned.

he also said wenger gave him "unbelievable belief"...so he's not the most literate.
it will be interesting to see the papers tomorrow, i hope they go after him.
it does sadden me to see club legends like Pires and Henry still defend him and say he "is Arsenal", when he's not. wrighty like The Merse has changed his tone a little, Keown too, and i think smudger is on the cusp of coming over to our side.

Agree about Wrighty but I've yet to hear anything critical from Keown, he always absolves Wenger and blames the players whenever I've heard him in recent times.

Five games...five games....undefeated.....
Five games....two away...I say
Drew with Hull, Anderlecht...but beat Burnley
Playing football the Arsenal way
Completely summed up his total lack of tactical acumen.
For 15 minutes between the 1st and 2nd goals we were all over the shop, the 2nd goal was so obviously coming but he just sat back and watched us cling on until they scored. And then when he was forced to make the substitution he just chucked anybody on - he took off our pace and brought on Podolski who was never going to hold the ball up and Rosicky who is a luxury. Sure enough, Podolski barely touched the ball and Rosicky gave it away every time he got it.
The players are far from exempt from criticism, but the flaws have been there for over half a decade now and the one constant is Wenger. Not to mention that the reason we are left with Monreal at CB and Captain Stupid at DM is because Wenger couldn't see what the rest of the world could in the summer and left us woefully short on depth and quality there.
And as for this 'mental spirit' bollocks, forgot chucking away a 3-goal lead - did anybody else see our body language at 3-3? Most teams would be busting a gut to try and get that winning goal, to avoid the embarrassment, to win the game. Our lot just shrugged their shoulders, hung their heads and hid. Nobody wanted the ball, they were waiting for the final whistle. It was the same on show in Brussels until we got the goal out of nowhere, then suddenly people were interested again. And again against Hull, people walking round, shoulders slumped but as soon as we pulled level suddenly everyone was lively.
