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.

We don't need to drop so far that it will take years and years to come back into contention again. But that's what is likely to happen if Wenger even sees out the rest of his contract.

So many of our problems stem from this it makes me angry to see him defend and it makes me depressed because we're going to be stuck with at least a few more years of this policy and the longer its left the harder its going to be to put right.

Of course there is one man who's pay packet doesn't fit into this glorious socialist dream.

Mourinho is a petulant attention-seeking cock but he is undoubtedly 100% spot on here. There is no pressure on Wenger to deliver any real success and any competitive manager would be ashamed of our recent record. He's lost his drive a long time ago.

If only that was a guarantee!! As much as we're suffering, I'd take that promise right now as I fear, like SteveO, that the club will give him another extension. :worried: :worried: The problem is how much damage he will do in the interim!! :banghead: :banghead: :roll:

SteveO also believes that peanut head Diaby is the second coming so don't be swayed by his warped theories or BBQ invites :wink:

If we should fail to qualify for the Champs League next season, the board will probably say "Oh don't worry Arsene, its just a blip, have another two/three/four years in the managers seat" :shock:

You'll be singing along with the Away Boyz if we win the FA Cup and I predict if pissed enough at the celebration BBQ, will be sporting one of those fetching I <3 AW T-shirts with the other Usmanov haters

The extension's on its way this Summer. Who said 2013 would be a sporting anti-climax eh?
