Wenger Out protest 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.

He is vermin and needs to be removed, there should be no other thought, Arsenal class can be taken too far you know :banghead:

If i didn't know better i'd almost expect some of you lot to tell tales of Herd and his friends inviting the other 'chaps' over for 'tiffen' and 'fisticuffs' after the match the way some people bang on about our 'class' :banghead:

You will not remove Wenger by anything other than a balls out continuous high profile effort that garners mass attention and harms the 'brand' in a significant way.

There is no other reason for him to leave and only by harming the brand image can i see him being asked to leave, he WILL NOT leave of his own accord, but if you want to be all polite and 'gentile' about it lads just in case it might harm our image, crack on, but be prepared for at least another 4 years after all he is so egotistical he WILL want to beat SAFs longevity record even if he can't beat his footballing accomplishments :box:

It can be sustained and show balls, and sticking to the central 'no new contract' message will certainly drive this home, but if we start being overtly abusive , it will rally the waverers against us, and willl strengthen his hand. However individuals feel, if we starting calling him 'vermin' in public it will be dismissed ,

As someone said earlier it's a fine line. To pitch
Exactly. The absolute worst thing we could do right now would be to go down the abusive road. The media, pundits, and owners will just dismiss it out of hand, and the waverers will turn against the protest in droves - and they are the people we need to bring that last few steps from "well, he ain't great anymore, but I still respect him and he has kinda earned another few years" over to full blown "No New Contract" mode. A reasoned and respectful (but blunt and high profile) protest will give many of them that push. The AKB will never come over and fuck them tbh, but the waverers are a large group and we need to get them on board.

Any moron can chant "Fuck off". :roll:

I understand exactly how you feel, and anyone who knows me will testify that I like to say it how it is on SM. However, we need to be smarter than just doing that on Tuesday. If we just turn up and abuse him, whilst we might feel better in ourselves about doing it, it achieves this:

Media dismiss our efforts as just a bunch of uneducated hooligans with no recourse but to abuse him
Arsenal will use that to dismiss us in exactly the same way
Fans who agree with our aims will not join us, as they will not abuse him, but could join in if we are strongly saying "no new contract"
AKBs will just slag us off and say that all we have to fight him with is counting him off (minus the o!)

We have to remember that our goal is to pressure him in to understanding how many fans think he is finished, so it helps him realise (in his mind) what a terrible & ungrateful lot we are for not recognising what a genius he still is and to spite us he'll leave to go win the champions league with Madrid (Like I say, in his own head).

We need numbers and we all know some will watch to see how it goes before actually joining. If we're singing anything about him being a count, or anything else considered 'vile', then they will walk away and our numbers are lessened. I know it may be hard to bite your tongue, but if we want rid, we have to do this in the best way to manage it. That is numbers and a strong message that says no new contract, time to walk away.
I can only urge everyone to try and get as many down as possible, but also to try and get them to stick to this message. Do it this way and the Club, Wenger and AKBs will have nothing, whilst the media can push the agenda as even they know he's done.

You have to be clever about it mate. Get abusive and not only will some give up the protest but it allows Wenger to play the victim and strengthens his position with the waverers. He has many in the press eating out of his hand and some nasty stuff would get top coverage and condemnation from the likes of Keown/ Shearer etc.......The protest is going to be hard enough to make change without making it harder for yourself/ourself

I absolutely agree. Keep it plain and simple. Straight to the point. No new contract. His time is up.

GoonerMuzz - I should clarify I'm not calling you a moron there, mate. It's just a general comment.

Oh right. Bulldog chewing a wasp is a great one. I always liked "Winston Churchil chewing a stinging nettle".

Stone Island and Canada Goose all in the one photo mind, quite impressive. 8)

They'll be about a tenner, probably a few quid less. If you want one, can you PM me what message you want on it so I can get it ordered by tomorrow AM.
So nothing inside the ground.... :?:
