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.

Still no defensive midfielder until injury forced his hand?
Still no tactics until the players tell him how to get a result against a top 6 team for the first time in years?
Fuck off Wonga, a blind retard could do a better job (and he could do his coat up first time). Turnaround my arse!!

They can then run to their computers and collectively weep with joy.......'there we told you the improved form would not last...'
Apparently the tactics employed in recent weeks are not Wengers.
The team got together and decided to play their own way. Wenger just meekly sat back and let the team ignore him.
So Wenger got lucky, blah, blah.....
No doubt if we do lose on Saturday, then it will be back to being Wenger's team, Wenger's tactics.......
You really could not make this shit up........
It's hilarious how off the back of a win with nothing remotely negative about it, these clowns can somehow fashion something out of it. )
thats interesting - that shewore was reporting that the day before the game that senior players had met with bould to ask for a change of tactics, and that was posted on here....then the day after the game, the Mirror and others reported wengers own words which confirmed it, and then YOU disappeared before answering the question - if it was only wenger, why now ? why not home to united, or away at southampton ? why not at Everton after the 6-3, 5-1 and 6-0 ?
you guys are hilarious, when we lose its the players or the stadium or some such bollocks, but when we win wengers suddenly a genius.
If you really think the win at Man City can be attributed to some coup d'etat of senior players going over Wenger's head, adjusting the style of play re: Coquelin, the pivot player and the average position of the full backs, rather than it being something discussed over the previous week(s) at Colney by Wenger, Bouldy, the staff and players alike......then I really have no words for you.
Wenger gets it wrong and gets rightly nailed for it, when he gets it right it's buried like a bad news day in the press, by the most blinkered, sense-of-entitlement supporters in the Prem no doubt. Luckily the support at away days is better than the tripe served up on here, thank God.

Maybe you should pay more attention to the words of le cock who admitted in the Daily Mirror that the players came to him requesting a change in the system/tactics
The season is a marathon and not a sprint and all other cliches associated, but the point being Wenger getting it right or wrong is not down to one game. It is down to a run of games and by extension a season, and by further extension seasons. In that respect Wenger has failed , only the flawed Champions League has saved him and allowed him and his supporters to claim success of any sort.
The majority on here and I would hope (but doubt) the majority of Arsenal supporters see failure for what it is failure. Disguising it as success by entering a cash cow of a competition that we have no interest and less hope of winning is not a barometer of success. I as an Arsenal supporter do not expect a European title and Premier League title every season, I do want and demand a competitive Arsenal which in all due respect we are not, and have not in years, being getting.
There is more to blame than the manager for that, but the manager introduced the belief and feeling that we could not compete, he is in a comfort zone because smaller clubs are richer. That is not competing, that is accepting.
I cannot celebrate the manager's part in days like City away, because to me it opens far more questions than answers. The main one being why have we had years of 2-8, 0-6, 3-6, 1-5, 4-4, 3-3 and so on if our manager was tactically aware enough to orchestrate a win and a clean sheet at the champions on 35% possession.

The Daily Mirror you say? Damn, you should've said earlier. Well fair's fair, with such a barometer of reliability and journalistic integrity on your side, I take it all back at once. As you were.
Don't you just love when we hit our seasonal good run of form and the disciples rush out their closets armed with invective aimed at those of us who have long left the temple in disillusionment.
They are nowhere to be seen on here when we are stinking up the pitch, but as soon we start our VT consolidation run, every other post belongs to them. Arsene; not Arsenal supporters, surely?
Oh well, guess it makes for good balance of the forum.
It's pretty simple really, we've just removed the duds from the team and and replaced them with players who are performing better.
Ospina > Scez
Bellerin > Chambers
Coq > Flamini
That along with Santi in the form of his life while playing in his best position and you're finally on to something. It warms my heart because this is what it will always be like when we get a proper manager in.
