THE WENGER THREAD

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.

I would like to know how old you are and when you started supporting Arsenal, as it seems you are coming at things from a substantially different angle from most of us on this Forum?
I am 22, and always supported Arsenal same as my dad. I know my views are in the minority here, being surrounded by so many hardline WOBs (no offence intended :wink: ) and it might seem strange to many of you that I still support wenger. But outside of this forum I've never really heard so many anti wenger arguments, as all my Arsenal supporting friends and family have similar views to me, so coming on here is quite an eye opener. You do put forward some very reasonable and legit arguments tho, some of which are hard to take, or argue with. However, at the end of the day we can debate From now until summer 2017, when he will prob call it a day, but he's definitely going nowhere until then. I've never known any other manager apart from him tho, and ill be sad to see him go.
Ah, that might explain some things.
I am 43, so remember Neill, Howe, Graham (Houston) and Rioch before Wenger.
Perspective is different.
I also strongly feel the points I put above, that Wenger is not the same as he was before Dein left.
But I have repeatedly posted that he will stay until summer 2017 unless there is a scandal that makes him leave early.

Anything in mind Quartz ?? :D

I'm 51 and remember the near relegations of the mid seventies, the Neill era, The prospect of Veneables and the arrival of GG. Perspective is different and at the risk of becoming a broken record I am not demanding silverware I am demanding competitiveness in the Premier and Champions League and we are getting neither. That is the mangers responsibility and fault.

"Wenger's only genius these days is his ability to persuade so many Arsenal fans & media people that he's still a genius. #afc"

Pierce Morgan on Twitter. :lol:

Absolutely spot on.

Why, do you think there's a market out there? People willing to pay good money for my special and unique comic take on things? :rubchin: I'll give it some thought. :lol: :wink:

Spot on but coming from a man who like so many was fooled by the Calendar Year Trophy and our rise to the top of the table before the deck of cards caved in again

Presume it's been referenced already but Oliver Holt's lead piece in the Mail is the most deluded piece of garbage I've read in a long time. Goes a lot further in falling for every single Wenger myth and fable than any of the posters who we've had on here.

I presume you mean this little gem Northbank ?

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/footba ... h-for.html

There is no reason why he should not bolster Arsenal’s defence next season. If Wenger signs another central defender in the summer and perhaps a more experienced central midfielder, there is no reason why they should not challenge for the title next season

No shit Sherlock.....but he won't will he?

SteveO all I wanted was to read some right-wing scare-mongering so I buy a newspaper, open it up on the train and have this staring at me.

It even had be careful what you wish for in the sub-title :coffeespit:

Have mentioned on here several times lately that holt is a worse deluded pro wenker c.unt than paddy Barclay is :roll: For all his bullshit at least Barclay tries to put up a reasoned debate when championing le cock, but holt more or less says " I like him therefore he is great" :roll: :oops: :evil:
