THE WENGER THREAD

[Redarmy]

"The big problem for Arsene Wenger is once you lose the fans, there is no way back,"

"I saw the Arsenal fans' proposed boycott of tonight's match against West Brom and if it goes ahead to the extent it has been predicted, Arsene will get the message loud and clear.

Keep up the pressure, if it does not get through more banners and more walkouts.....then mass demonstration outside the ground...dont worry his position WILL become untenable

[xisstential]

Yet another scathing indictment. Do our board ever bother to read any of these articles?? I'm not interested if Wenger reads them or not as he just contemptuously dismisses them.


Seriously, how has it come to this for Arsenal? Afforded all the pillars that should support a Premier League title triumph, here they are again out of the race and scrambling around to finish in the top four.

They have cash to burn, a squad of talented individuals, a manager who has had years to implement his ideas, and in this most barmy season a series of usual suspects all falling well below par.

Arsenal should be looking down from first on a pursuing pack, but instead they look over their shoulder from fourth as Manchester United stagger towards them like a drunk at closing time.

After 19 games reigning champions Chelsea were 19 points behind following their catastrophic start, United nine off, Spurs back four, and City three. All Arsenal's traditional rivals were wounded, going through torment in the dugout or on the pitch, but it was the club with serenity all around that contrived to become paralysed by pressure and stall on accumulating points.

After 33 games last season Arsenal were 10 points behind Chelsea, the team in top. In 2013/14 they were again 10 back. In 2012/13 the gap to United was an astonishing 21 points In 2011/12 it was a relatively median 15.


Now Arsenal are 13 points off first – albeit with a game in hand – and a familiar feel is gripping. Even groundhogs will be bored of this recurring story.

Lazy journalism. All he's done is cut and paste a post from this thread.

Actually we have 130 years of history not 140. Although the last 10 years have felt like 20

“I just want to make sure that everybody at this club, everybody who loves this club, is happy. If they are not I am, of course, not satisfied.

“I’ve no power to change the emotions of our fans, other than making them happy with the results we have. Here is an ­environment that has been created that is, at the moment, negative. We have to transform that and to live with that.

“I do not want people to be unhappy. I want you to be happy, I want the fans to be happy and everybody in the world to be happy. And if I had the power to do it, believe me, I would do it. But I cannot.

Oh, but you can, you can make us deliriously happy..........

FOR THE TURNIP




TURNIP OUT

Anyone would think the fans are asking the impossible, is he saying identifying 3 players , a DM, striker, and centre back that improves the team is something he cant do?
Its his job ffs, to improve our chances of being successful, he has had 3 years to upgrade these areas and failed every window.
The way he talks of the 2 years outstanding on the Ozil & Sanchez contracts as if its ages before we need to worry is laughable.
He just never learns, has the memory of how RVP got his move already faded from the old fools memory?
The summer window is crucial when players (that you want to keep) are down to 2 years, if they do not extend their value begins to drop like stone.

I mentioned a while back and others are writing as well that Wenger would rather just tread water than spend say 100m on players then still fail. That would really expose him... now it looks , for minimum outlay, he has done a bang up job. Of course with spurs & Leicester really performing it doesn't look so good this season. In fact if you take our wage bill into account it never looks good

He will spin anything. If he were the captain of the Titanic, he would spend his last moments asking everyone 'whats wrong'?

“May I remind you that for the first 2500 miles the ship did not sink.”

“Icebergs are better organised these days.”

“I built this ship.”

“Do you have 30 years’ experience in sailing? No? Then how can you tell me that it is sinking?”

Genuis.

Hail Captain Wenger, finest sailor the world has ever seen.!

That is so 'in character' for him I don't know whether to laugh or punch the wall

Aah... A ship does have an anchor! Point is... even when there is no obvious excuse Wenger will always find one

[Kvltman]

Trouble is the captain went down with the Titanic, Wenger will be here for years yet dragging us down to the depths!

[Sean]

Looks like the slimy old fucker will get away with holding us back for a while yet, thanks to the largely passive Cashburton customers

Fair play to the 'banner wankers' tonight

"if you look back at the history of this ship, you'll see that it has often sunk"

"the lifeguards showed tremendous mental strength and spirit"

fucking hell you could go on
