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.

The worst kind of Socialist...the Champagne kind. Earning an absolute fortune with the "do as I say not as I do" attitude.

In fairness he has given a leg up, a helping hand to the poor. Ramsey, Walcott, Monreal, Sanogo....the list goes on and on. All bereft people in their chosen occupation. Or were anyway until he took them in. And, Wenger just like the Socialists , uses us like the taxpayers, to pay their wages

There's no such thing as a Good Socialist !!!! :banghead:

They all hate aspirition. They all want to deprive hard workers of as much of their money as possible. They can't accept that we are not all created equal. And they always run out of other people's money eventually.

I especially hate socialists that earn nearly £9 million a year and don't know how to zip their coat up.

Rant over

I believe he is in protracted talks with Glossop North End for their promising centrehalf/kitman 38 year old Jimmy Grimshaw... Unfortunately the negotiations started with a "dizzying" figure of £15,000... :worried:

Coq, Giroud and Kos all committing themselves long term by signing contract extensions. 3 players....all French.......you'd have to think they sounded out Wenger to see if he was staying on. Now that they've signed you have to be fearful the unthinkable has now become the inevitable :banghead:

I never understood why anyone thinks there's even a small chance of Wenger leaving. What has been different this season, than any in the last decade? Again we flatter to deceive, and are on course for a VT place, and little else. Both Wenger and the board have signalled that as success,. and league title wins are nothing but an unrealistic dream, in their eyes. Id also add that Wenger is absolutely shameless, so even if we were to miss out on the be all and end all, he will merely point to it being a blip, on an otherwise excellent (in his mind) record. I honestly think that unless he ends up in poor health, he could still be here in 5 years.
