CANT BE WINNERS EVERY YEAR

Great find. :lol: (not as good as "Robot Cruntmonkey" though...) :wink:

In 2007 I firmly believed he would turn it round. It was his inactivity in the January 2008 transfer window that really first set me towards wanting him out. But I hung on until 2010. I thought he'd have enough time to get over the failure of "the project" and buy in some quality. May 2010 was the date I finally said "enough". Have wanted him gone ever since.

TBH I miss the days when he was a great manager. It pissed off so many oppo fans that we were successful whilst playing the best, most stylish, attacking football any Ingerlish team had ever played.

I said it then, and I say it now; anyone that was calling for Wenger to be sacked in 2007 was an attention seeker. 8) :wink:

Actually, I though not strengthening after the Invincible' s year in 2004 stuffed us. Everyone else strengthened and we went backwards. Got screamed at for being a negative fan when I said that on another board.

We've been playing catch up ever since.

Said this in another thread:

Had Wenger fucked off then, he'd still have been a legend despite his failure in the CL. Alas...
I'll add that Wenger should never have survived 2011, with the 4-4 at Newcastle, losing to Birmingham in the cup final, another late season collapse with 2 wins in 13, the 8-2 at Old Trafford and the worst start to the season for decades (then we made an even worse start in the next season).

Not to mention his constant refusal to improve the squad, and over-reliance on bang average players.

£970 per hour for that? He can fuck off. He is well past the point of no return; his legacy is damaged beyond repair.

Was that when we came fourth when we were one of a 2 horse race?

Indeed. We slipped from 3 points off Manure on March 5th to 12 points off by the end of the season.

All of those dropped points were in winnable games. Ironically we beat Manure 1-0. In those 13 games, we dropped 12 points in draws and dropped 9 points in defeats. We should have been champions by 6-9 points if were not for that gutless collapse to that season and I didn't realise how bad that collapse was until I looked at the results again.

Then we started the next season with 2 league wins in 7. The season after that, 5 league wins in 15.

Then we bottled the title again in Spring 2014. Unforgivable.
