Perhaps REDaction could organise, oh I don't know, a march perhaps?

Show the boys we're still 100% behind our great manager. :barscarf:

We could also mention Usmanov. :?

Those fucking *word censored*, oh, those fucking *word censored*. Wanker was under pressure for the first time and they went and did what they did. They are partly to blame for Wanker still being here now. After their fucking stupid procession, Wanker knew he was untouchable.

If we don't win it (and yes I don't think we will but this is a mental season so not quite ready to completely throw the towel in), he never ever will again. Has to go for me regardless. I'd love Simeone! And no I'm not about to go and call him a C*nt or Wenker as all love to slate him, he has always done what he thought best for the club as a whole and not to 'appease' the shareholders, but he's lost the killer instinct. Of course he wants to win the big things but his touch has gone.
I think you're right there, with Pep going to moneh citeh and all the players he will attract by his reputation and the money they can offer, I can see them dominating for a while.

Pep is irrelevant. Wenger will never win it again as the big teams will not have a combined clusterfuck again as they did this year and aw is well past it. Pep is irrelevant to why wenger won't win another title.

he siad again the other day when he stops managing he wont leave football, he will beocme a youth coach or director of football.

im afraid the only way we will ever leave the club is in a wooden box.
I fear you're right.

He should fuck off and manage France U19's, for all his supposed 'talent' with youth players (signed from other clubs).
BFG4 wrote:I never understand how anyone can think missing out on the title has any impact on Wenger's position with the club. Winning the title isn't of much financial benefit for Stan and Co. and as long as Wenger provides CL money with as little transfer spending, then it's job done. I'd also argue that although most of us on here want him gone, generally inside the ground, he is still viewed as a hero, so with that sort of mind-set, what reason would Stan feel to make a change.
dano wrote:is Stan even aware how his manager is deluded, or does he just not care? Given all his USA teams are badly under performing, probably will just stick by the TOF. Stan, my man, you are the only person that can make a change, do it.
Stan doesn't give a fuck.

Some of our fans like to go on about "class" whatever that means, but this c*** is right up there as one of The most pathetic, excuse-making, egotistical arse-hats managing anywhere. I love Koeman's response to him as Koeman has his number and sees through his utter shite. Frankly pathetic. :oops:
I'm glad Koeman put TOF in his place :barscarf:

The man is an embarrassment.

“If you know a world-class striker who could strengthen our team you should have told me before the transfer window was over. They do not walk in off the street and say please take me. They are all at big clubs and under contract."


Like van Persie?

Pretty sure we got Henry rom Juve, are they not a "big club"?

Why must he continuously trot this sort of horseshit out? Rhetorically asking a journalist to find him a striker as if they're some mythical creature which can only be procured under certain astrological alignments really pisses me off; but it seems to be his current favourite journalistic fuck-off.

Berk.
TOF is fucking useless without David Dein brokering the deals. Since DD was removed, TOF turned into a dictator who is too pussy to be proactive in the transfer market.

I used to watch them on YouTube for a laugh, but the cunnt's endless bullshit is unwatchable now.

The infamous 'Why do you look at me?' press conference was funny though. Sometimes TOF's mask slips and it is satisfying to watch him make an arse out of himself.

An away defeat at Spurs would put him in a position he has never been in, genuinely trying to catch up with a confident Spurs team. Our form since the start of November has been terrible, the problems of other clubs has made us look much better than we are.
True, but like a cockroach he'll find a way to survive, he always does :(

Nothing but death will remove this cancer from our club :banghead:
BFG4 wrote:Wenger talks nonsense at his press conference, its the norm with him, but what about the press? They sit there when he gives his views on every football issue(often on things that have nothing to do with him), yet are quiet when the time comes to ask him tough questions. Why not add to the squad in the transfer window when the club was lacking in several areas? Why start Flamini over Coquelin last night? Why is it, we never adapt or change our tactical approach in any game? How do you reconcile being at the top for 20 years with the fact you haven't won the title since 2004? These are obvious questions to ask, but the media would rather stay quiet, yet you will see several anti-Arsenal articles from them throughout the season. What a spineless bunch of wankers.
It is funny how the media like TOF and protect his reputation even if they don't actually respect him that much.

He'll talk about anything - any fucking thing, as long as it's not about his numerous failures since 2008.

The exact same thing went through my mind last night! Think it was around the 70th minute mark when we were huffing and puffing but going nowhere in a hurry and I thought to myself -

"Christ aren't I glad I don't go to watch this sh1t anymore".

Best decision I've made and I won't set foot in the place until the prick is gone.
The ticket prices are obscene and I am glad I couldn't afford to pay those prices. Now that I can afford it, I choose not to. Fuck paying a grand to watch that mismanaged shite. Arsene PLC is a fucking bank, not a football club.
GTG wrote:I think United away will be my last this season and next year the occasional away will do. Like you I don't want to give the club anymore money whilst Wenger is in charge because a) none of its spent on players unless they come knocking at our door which he has now admitted and b) because I really cant deal with players like Walcott taking £140k a week home.... its criminal.

The manner of those CL defeats really hurt me, United were a quality side back then but they totally took the piss out of us..... but bizarrely the moment that really turned me against Wenger was against West Brom away in 2011 when Almunia and Squillachi ran into each other. It was at that point where I thought regardless of whether we had money to spend or not (I believe there was plenty there) No other top club or manager would have 2 clowns like that continually turning out for them and that was the moment that turned me big time. Problem is you just keep paying and supporting but nows the time to stop
The title (and League Cup) bottling of 2010-11 was criminal. He should have been sacked for that alone, even before the 8-2 of the following season.

The fact that he overpays crap to average players is also fucking annoying. We have wasted so much money, despite our excessive frugality in the last decade.
The Knowing One wrote:It would be interesting how far everyone on here would go in terms of replacement to get rid of le cock, I'm not talking the obvious likes of Pep, Simeone, Ancelotti, but the unproven, the unloved and the downright shite

Starting with last nights opponents I would dance around the room if we got Koeman and yes I would take Jose and uneasy as that makes me feel

But what about Pardew, Allardyce, Pulis!! just how far would go to get rid
I would fucking take anyone. Any competent manager would make the changes that need to be made.
BFG4 wrote:I remember us losing at home to Swansea a few seasons ago, and Wenger said "we were fatigued due to our midweek CL game". When the reporter pointed out that the other English sides in the competition had not had the same problem, his response was "well, that's my answer". In other words, I am beyond questioning, no matter how ludicrous my post match comments are. The man is a grade A wanker, and how anyone could have an ounce of respect left for him is beyond me.
The man is a despot who hates being questioned. Who the fuck does the snobby cunnt think he is?

I would absolutely take Martinez as our manager in a heartbeat. And I would have no probs taking any of pellegrini, moyes, koeman, laudrup, bilic, klopp, eddie howe, chris hughton, mick McCarthy and most of all, diego someone 8)
No doubt I have forgotten a few others, but that's a nice shortlist to start with

Wilson wrote:I cant support Wenger. As much as I want to, my better judgement and the evidence proves he is incapable of getting the big prizes. After winning back to back FA Cups, and heading the top of the table a few weeks back, he earned the right for Arsenal fans to support him again. However, old feelings are returning with regards to a capitulation, and its unacceptable. I can handle being outclassed, and being bested by better opponents. However, I cannot accept failing due to the team suffering a complete and utter nervous breakdown, and not even putting in a challenge because the mentality of the players is so brittle, they pi.. themselves when the tension escalates.

Who knows, maybe we still might win the league given the unpredictability of the league. However, we are currently in 4th of what was supposed to be a 2 horse race, which is familiar territory.

I'm not picking on u honest, but this quote is bollox; "after winning back to back fa cups and heading the top of the table a few weeks back, he earned the right for arsenal fans to support him again"

No he didn't. The cup is a lottery and increasingly irrelavant. Anyone with half a brain could see our table topping was built on sand, we were there by default due to the crappyness of everyone else. Wenger had nothing to do with it. The same issues remain that have for years. In no way had he earned support again for such small acheivements. (I support the club by the way, not the manager) Everyone can see he is holding the club back. But flio flopping attitudes and comments like this amongst our support are one of the reasons he remains. Once the fans turn he will go.

Not surprised by his latest post match comments, re the striker and top for 20 years. Someone else posted it earlier in the thread, 4 years ago these comments would be torn to pieces by most on here, but it is telling that there has been far less vitriol than there would have been years gone by. I feel a flicker of anger but it is almost immediately replaced by apathy and indifference. Wenger has gone from giving me my best memories of Arsenal to almost killing my affection for them. Until he goes I just can't get excited about this club again. It is like watching the same film over and over (and a 7/10 one at that, very decent in places but never a classic!).

If Wenger can't win the league this season, with all the chaos and poor form of Chelsea, Man Utd, Liverpool etc, then I can't see it happening in the next few years with what is ahead (Pep, probable Chelsea/United resurgence).

I just can't wrap my head around his decisions, tactics, transfer inactivity, everything discussed on here for the best part of the last decade, it has to end some day. This is just pure purgatory.

Pochettino Is the only man who can get Wenger sacked. Unpalatable as it may be, a more successful Spurs would be a bridge too far the AKB's. We were out fought in the away league match last season an had a lucky escape at home this year. Spurs appear to have players with at bit more hunger than the likes of Walcott and certainly look solid at the moment.

You often see & sense their frustration & disappointment after some of our dismal failures and they start launching into one then suddenly pull back and resort rather to vague criticism of the overall performance in general & not the personell, tactics, formation, etc,etc.... Totally gutless, cowards just like the man they worship. Merson, Parlour, Henry, Keown, Wright..... the whole bunch, without exception. It's like the man is some sort of French Svengali.
