Re: THE WENGER THREAD
I agree, and last year was the prime example. I remember a journalist asking him last season, why had Barca enjoyed such success in the CL, since we had met them in the final in '06. Wenger's answer was that they had money, and we didn't. Then, at another point in the season, he said, Leicester had proved, you don't need to spend money to be successful. The guy doesn't do hypocrisy or double standards. He is happy to change his stance, to suit whatever bullshit argument he is trying to make.Wilson wrote:He operates on both sides of the fence. On one hand, he rationalizes not winning the league or CL because other clubs have bigger resources. Yet at the same time, rejects the notion spending money improves the team.
He switches sides simply to suit him. When the transfer window is open, its money doesn't buy success. Although when the season is in full swing, he plays the role of the financially constrained manager who despite his best efforts, cant make up the spending short fall. And we are to celebrate the 'success' of finishing in the top 4 with 'limited resources'. Simply ignoring the fact the 'limited resources' are self imposed. Also ignoring this is a manager who rejected the notion spending improves the team, but when it suits him, wants to use money spent as a justification for why he doesn't compete for the league or CL.
He gets away with it, because the press never call him out on it.
I also dont rate Wenger as a man, and not just a manager. Because what kind of principled man so easily changes positions just to advance his own interests.

Here it is, Wenger citing money for why Barcelona marched on from 2006, whilst we didnt.
Fuck principles, he doesn't have any. He changes his mind simply to suit himself at any present time.

In fairness, Barca's success is based on money. Barca had the money. Unfortunately for Wenger's argument, so did we.Wilson wrote:BFG4 wrote:I agree, and last year was the prime example.

The difference is that the Whores spent their money wisely on top quality players whereas Wenger pissed our money away season after season on Project Ego, grossly overpaying shit like Almunia, Song, Denilson, Flappy, Vela, Sqiggy, WALCOTT, Stepanovs, Sanogo, Jeffers, Djourou, Flamini, Senderos, Aliadiere, Cygan, Diaby, Hleb etc etc and then extending many of their contracts (with pay rises) for years after it was obvious they were shit (or perma-crocked).
Just look at this list of Arsenal players under Wenger and at how many of them are Project Ego duds;

So much money pissed up against the wall.
Re: THE WENGER THREAD
You will not find any man involved in top flight football who is more lacking in principals, more greedy, who is a bigger liar and who is so self obsessed than Mr Arsene Wenger (first time I've used his proper name in years)!
I hate him, genuinely hate him, not just because of the whole process with Arsenal, but because he is the type of person I cannot stand, the things he portrays, believes in and his general characteristics and 'ways' are to me disgusting. There is no honesty, no being humble, no self judgement, no regard for the millions of people who 'support' him. He is a disgrace in many ways and if it came to it that he was run out of town by an angry mob, taken away by men in white coats or just plain sacked, I am going to get very drunk celebrating the day this fucking parasite, and that's what he is, is cast out of our club. Fuck Wenger and everything he stands for. Scumbag.

The funny thing about Barca is that, for all their spending power, many of their key players were academy graduates. The likes of Xavi, Iniesta, Messi, Puyol, Pedro, Busquets, and Valdez, all contributed to the CL'S and League titles they won. Wenger could only dream of his own version of project youth working out so well.

Re: THE WENGER THREAD
True, but my point is when they needed to spend they did - on quality, not quantity. Wenger accumulated so many shit players over those years. Our wage bill I believe at one point was higher than Manure's - and they were winning PL's at the time whilst we scrapped for 4th!!BFG4 wrote:DB10 - "In fairness, Barca's success is based on money.

"It's not my money, first of all," he said. "Spending money is good but it's not enough.
"You have to spend money on excellent players. We're having a lot of trouble identifying them. And then on the other hand you still have to be responsible.
"We're a company of 600 people at the moment. You have to pay everyone at the end of the month so you can't do just anything."
Fucking unbelievable
