Have you read this piece of disgraceful, megalomaniacal bullshit?
‘Since I arrived we have played over 180 Champions League games. You will see that before then they didn’t play so many'

Well duh, before you arrived only CHAMPIONS got in and there was no group stage. He's being completely dismissive of the club's history and setting himself up as the be-all and end-all.

been trying to think how this is all going to play out with Wenger

came to the conclusion he is going nowhere.
BUT there could be a situation where he goes on such a bad run he does get pushed out.
for that to happen the vast majority of the Emirates would have to turn on him and I get the impression that the majority of fans are still with him there.

rob. the emirates will only turn if we have some home losses.

that said, if we don't sign anyone and we are clearly well off 4th even some of the fence sitters might start questioining their loyalty - i mean, even the most ardent wengerite knows he effed up in the summer not buying two CB's and 2-3 DM's.

to not at least buy one CB and 1 DM is going to be seen as a huge FUCK YOU to all fans AKB's included isn't it ?

btw while sonogo still doesn't have a goal in the league - Afobe has 18 in 15 starts and 10 subs appearances... :rubchin:

He's bigger than the club, that's now a given. Disgraceful situation...

It's hard to gauge but even if 5000 moan that's a small % of whole ground.... All I know is it's getting more and more a slog going at present.

and of course, no journo present points out - "but Arsene, it took you three seasons to even get out of the group stage, even with seaman, dixon, winterburn, adams, bould, keown, parlour, bergkamp, platt, overmars, and vieira who all each had large amounts of experience in Europe. surely you're not going to say it was them who was 'naive and inexperienced' and not your tactics ?????

He said that ?? The man is a fcuking scumbag b.astard who thinks that we had no club before he came along :evil:
Newsflash for you dickhead......GG was manager for 8 seasons and won 1 European trophy and was runner up in another - you have a paltry 2 final defeats in 18 years and should be embarrassed at that stat instead of talking it up :oops: GG was able to win a trophy with a much inferior team and was able to beat some top teams along the way - you had some of the best teams in European football (between 2001-2006) and still won the square root of fcuk all :evil: :evil:

It is one thing to defend himself but to do so while dissing the history and past achievements of OUR club is an utter disgrace and I'm fed up of his cult followers allowing him to spout bullshit like this :evil: :evil: :censored: :censored:

He should take a look at the quality of that last 8 in 1994 and the fact we were one of the lowest seeds and lowest positioned team in our league.

Still, GG still lost his way and ignored our main problem of lack of central midfield.

:rubchin:

But he left an excellent defence, Wright and Merson. Bergkamp arrived. Not too shabby. Lucky manager who got that lot.

I think Parlour was a big plus too - that kid ran for 90 minutes and worked his arse off. though not as gifted as Freddie he was of similar importance to the balance of the side between pressing defensively and lightning attacks.

GG's problem was that JJ, selley, Hillier and Schwarz didn't work out. that team was a DM, AM away from another couple of titles imho.

Very true and Wenger rectified the problem almost immediately with Petit and Vieira. Plus add Overmas for pace. Job done.

Now the idiot has lost it completely and is chasing his tail.

this has literally just been published :

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/footba ... urish.html

Arsenal's injury record has been savaged by Raymond Verheijen, the outspoken fitness expert and former Wales coach.


The Dutchman, who has worked with Holland, Barcelona and Manchester City among others, is a long-standing critic of training methods employed by Premier League managers, especially former Manchester United supremo David Moyes, whom he has branded a dinosaur.


He wrote: "Sad to read the news about yet another muscle injury for Aaron Ramsey. His injury record at Arsenal is simply shocking for such young player.

"Robin Van Persie is only 31 but more and more starts to look like an old man on pitch because of all damage done to his body during his Arsenal period.

"The same career-threatening process takes place at Arsenal with Ramsey, (Theo) Walcott, (Jack) Wilshire and (Alex) Oxlade-Chamberlain who are structurally injured

"Players who are injured season after season develop all kind of weak links inside the body so a vicious injury cycle develops during career.

"Thankfully, (Cesc) Fabregas was able to escape Arsenal after a few years so the amateurs in London did not get the chance to also destroy his body."


i'm not sure what grudge he could have against The Arsenal or wenger, but thats pretty shocking.

and spot on. :oops:

Yeah, but there has to be a real reason for all these injuries. Our injury record during the past 5 years should make it into Guiness book of records FFS! Grudge or not but I'm happy this matter is brought up by someone.
