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.

Looking ahead, he's going to leave on his own terms - which, given the last decade, is an absolute disgrace. He does not deserve to leave on his own terms, and the media wankfest will be insufferable. And then, even when he's gone, the stadium's still going to be full of the people who kept him here for so long. And then, when the "One Arsene Wenger" chant breaks out at the very first game after he's left...

Nope. Not signing up for any of that. The club, and its fans, can go fuck themselves.
That fear has become a reality...

As I said some time ago and just as others have also stated.. The "Arsenal" we all once adored, loved, won, celebrated,laughed, lost and cried with is GONE.

It feels like the loss of something/someone 'So Special' I cannot put it into words other than to say - It fuckingg "Hurts". Big Time.

1 goal for Ramsey in 14 games this season. The only reason he used to get any credit, was his habit of scoring. But if he isnt scoring, then I fail to see his purpose.

Have you noticed how we don't even question the January transfer window anymore?? We are not doing anything, we ALL know that. Another victory for him, he's killed off all those ridiculous, outrageous, greedy demands

Other managers, trying to actually win the title, are trying to strengthen where they think they need to. Not him though, too complacent, satisfied and smug.... And of course he is too busy trying to hang onto who we do actually have and placate & mother those he should be getting shot of.

The last time he was "active" in the January transfer window, he bought a midfielder with a broken back for a fiver. Not at Stoke or Sunderland but at ARSENAL.... his Arsenal.

The list of travesty's are endless, would easily fill a book.

"What looks unfair is you know at some point of the season you may need him."...Arsene Wenger on Thursday talking about Jack Wilshere's loan deal at Bournemouth..
Apparently also said when questioned about season long loan that it was a Premier League rule..can't find the quote on that so maybe he was misquoted.. Today Chelsea recall Nathan Ake..from Bournemouth

If Jack had any sense he would stay where he is. Can you remember him being injury free for so long, I can't??

I was thinking the same thing myself - Also he will have had a thorough education in 'Tactics'.

It's quite simple. You can see from Ozils performances that he's quite happy to cruise through games. Not interested when the going gets tough. At Arsenal he's pampered by Wenger and has the easy life. If he can get the dollar out of the club to match the status quo then he's in all day long.

Im now reading the reason no recall clause was put in Wilshere's loan deal, was because it would have reduced the loan fee we received. Classic really. On par with Chamberlain 20 minutes clause. All the while Chelsea recall Nathan Ake from Bournemouth, with Conte citing the reason was to give him more options in the title run in.

This fuking club would do anything for a dime.

Its because if a clause was put in allowing us to recall him early, Bournemouth wernt prepared to pay a 2m loan fee.

Its just classic Wenger. Conte brings back Ake, and Wilshere who is more senior and established, cannot be brought back even though we are going through a bit of an injury crisis. Conte's bringing Ake back just highlights Wenger's behind the times nature. Wenger is the guy in the office who is always unprepared - doesnt bring his spreadsheets into the office meeting, and thus when its his turn to present, he sits their like a fuking knob without anything to say.

But ultimately he is the guy the boss keeps in employment because he saves a fortune for the company in other ways..

i'm sure he mentioned this last season (or possibly the one before) and even the Premier League said there was no such rule.
He makes it up as he goes along.

Yeah he does :)

There was also this little fib:

“The rules from Fifa are that you have to give four weeks holiday to a player, it is compulsory — and I always do it”.

Uefa confirmed there was no such rule :roll:
