exactly. most sportswriters are full of it. they are there to report, who cares about their opinions - we want the facts no ?
imho this is a better article :

They did warn him. They did suggest that replacing Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain with Andrey Arshavin might not be such a good idea. Robin van Persie shook his head. The supporters voiced their disapproval.
Rarely has Arsene Wenger faced such criticism at The Emirates. Never has he encountered such dissent from his captain. A lip-reading expert would be useful at this juncture but Van Persie seemed to suggest the 74th-minute switch was something of a joke.
Wenger ignored the concerns being expressed, just as he ignored the fact that Oxlade-Chamberlain had just crowned a fine attacking performance with the touch of class that had invited Van Persie to score a brilliant equaliser. Boy did it come back to bite him.
The supporters, in particular those behind the dug-outs, were less than amused. There was ironic applause when Welbeck scored and a similarly ironic chant of ‘There’s only one Arsene Wenger.’ There was even a chorus of ‘You don’t know what you’re doing.’
Because it was Wenger, it felt significant. Because the Frenchman is held in such high regard at Arsenal, it felt like another reason why he might not be in charge beyond the end of what is becoming an increasingly difficult season. This, after all, was their third straight Barclays Premier League defeat.
The decision to replace Oxlade-Chamberlain with Arshavin was baffling, even if the young winger might not have been any more effective in stopping the powerfully built Valencia.....
The rags are all over Wenger AT LAST! Hallelujah, long overdue.
The rags have been waiting for this moment to crucify Wenger and they have only been waiting for the go-ahead from the Arsenal fans - just as they waited for the go-ahead for Rafa from the Liverpool fans after they jeered him when he subbed Torres in that match!
The papers are like a dog with a bone. THIS is proof of what I have been saying for so long: it's up to us to ensure our discontent is known. The fans did that yesterday. Now Wenger has no place to hide. No matter what happens, the fact is clear: his job security is now an open discussion, with many journos suggesting he won't be there come the end of summer. Even if he is (he probs will), fact is something has been broken and Wenger is finished.
No way back from here. It is the fans' job to make this c***'s life hell in every home match. Forget the braindeads like Song, Diahby and Arshavin for a minute. Focus on the tw*t that picks and pays them instead.
£6.5 mil a year and Wenger has been living in an immune bubble for too long. Any other manager would have been slated years ago. Any of you in your jobs, earning far less than Wenger would have been on the dole by 2008 had you performed the way this c*** has.
The worst thing?
The mornign after the night before, Wenger is as arrogant and defiant as ever. Baiting the fans. Insisting he 'knows' and saying 'I will not spend a penny' on French tv.
MAKE HIS LIFE HELL. Every Emirates match should be a cauldron of shite for him, he will eventually get sick of the abuse because he is sooooo Precious isn't he? Can't stand being questioned, he thinks he is God!!!
If the abuse persists, this tosser will walk. No ifs no buts, he won't take much more of this. Make him walk. We owe our great club this much. We deserve so much better than this shite. At those prices.
Arsenal fans no longer caring about defeats to ManUre and fearing a thrashing by SPUDS FFS
