Wenger on Champions League

“I agree with you, the performances were not good enough. But you have picked three performances out of 150 games in Europe. I accept you have to be critical when performances are not good.

“Look at the performance of Arsenal in the Champions League before me and after - then come back to me.”

Really? So how many times you won it then you deluded spunk-bubble? How arrogant, basically claiming Arsenal was nothing before him! An absolute joke. So basically be thankful a club with all that cash is even in it. Wanker.

Firstly, no manager before this c.unt was ever paid £8m per season just to qualify for it
Secondly, before he came along 2nd place didn't get you into champs league - basically, if the rules hadn't changed, he would have qualified for ONE more champs league than GG and that is in 18 fcuking years

Le Tool claims "you have picked 3 games out of 150"?
Well, considering you've lost FIFTY (yes 50) CL matches, shall I pick one of the other 47?

I'd like to apologize on behalf of American supporters who aren't complete mongs for this moron. How he had the gumption to purchase shares of a foreign club, rock up to their AGM and proceed to belittle and grass fellow supporters is beyond me.

Install safe standing rail seats and move the preseason camp back to Bad Waltersdorf. That will get rid of these people.

Who among us does not feel uplifted and upbeat at this time of year? AGMs explain things in such a clear and concise way. Without them there would be so much that I didn’t realise or appreciate. For example:


We are actually quite brilliant at everything we do and have the best possible people in their respective fields already working at our club.

The squad not only does not need strengthening ... it cannot be strengthened. This is because we already have many of the world’s best players. (If it wasn’t for those pesky injuries ..… grrrrr ! )

Our ticket prices are not only fair, they fly in the face of economic pressure. The club deserves credit for putting our interests first.

Far from being a barren period of failure, neglect and underachievement … it turns out that the last few years have actually been a period of unprecedented success. As proved by how many CL games we have played in. (If it wasn’t for those pesky injuries ..… grrrrr ! )

In Stand Kroenke we have an owner willing to give out advice for a mere £3m per year. Advice that is so invaluable that words cannot actually describe it in any way. It’s that good.

We have the world’s finest manager and he is still as good as ever. Maybe even better. He has averaged one league title every 6 seasons and yet he is still hungry for more. What a remarkable man!

No need to apologise, mate. If we were to apologise every time one of our countrymen spoke out their asshole I'd be on here apologising for augie 24 hours a fucking day!!

Bayern supporters to enter Emirates five minutes after KO to protest Arsenal's impossible ticket prices.
It's a shame that the AM wasn't the following day.
I wonder if, perhaps something like this could inspire our supporters to follow suit next week?




WENGER OUT

C
Our lots protest would be to turn up late to the second half by 5-10 mins because they were buying a pie and a bovril

[g88ner]

WENGER: "look at number of games Arsenal played in Champions League before I arrived and look after, and come back to me".



Reality check for Wenger

Wenger joined Arsenal in 1996. The Champions League started in 1992; before that it was known as the European Cup and open to ONLY the champions of each country. Since 1992 multiple teams from each country are allowed entry.

So, basically Wenger has been in charge for 19 of the 23 seasons the CL has been running, so yes - surprise surprise - we've played more games in the CL since Wenger joined.

IF it was still the European Cup and only the champions entered, we'd have competed 3 times in the CL since Wenger arrived. On those occasions (CL after a title winning season) our record is:

1998/99: Group stage (knocked out by Lens and Dynamo Kiev)
2002/03: Group stage 2 (knocked out by Valencia and Ajax)
2004/05: First knockout round (beaten by Bayern Munich)

With the old format we'd not have been in the European Cup for 11 years. I hope someone pointed that out to him.

So the Soviet Politburo made some more outrageous statements, mugging off the fans again? Why am I not surprised.

It's be great if there was some (non-sanitised) footage of the goings on.

Ticket prices have been scandalous for over a decade. Even before the move to Cashburton. It's such a shame there'll never be a boycott from Arsenal fans over that. We're stuck with the Tarquins and Tristians.

Shame about Keswick. I didn't think anyone could be as embarrassing as that tool PHW. What a tosser.

Wenger's cracks about our pre-Wenger history does him no favours, the arsehole. GG has one more European trophy than The Old Fraud will ever have. One losing finalist appearance in eighteen seasons equals failure.

What three are they Arsene? Olymiacos, Zagreb, 0-4 in Milan, 1-3 v Monaco, 1-4 in Barcelona, no shots in Barcelona, Lens at home in 98, I can keep naming them Arsene. Didn't he tell us last year he sacrificed the Champions League for FA Cup success ?
