The club cannot be happy with the negative publicity but they would never dream of getting rid of the guy who is attracting it so they probably think if Wenger signs we will go away.

I had a chat to Jumpers earlier and if that is the case we need to ramp it up right until the end of the season. Change the banners to GET THE HELL OUT & WHY WON'T YOU LISTEN!!... things along those lines...we might have to ditch the NNC if he's already signed one...we cannot go away though..the club needs the negative publicity heaped upon them.

To be honest I think that we all know that there are fcuk all fans still backing wenker - there are a high percentage that don't support the protests against him, but I would think that most of them support the idea of letting him see out his contract peacefully and walk away at the end of the season. The thing that these fans refuse to recognize, is that not opposing him will probably encourage him to stay, therefore they will be setting themselves up for more painful groundhog seasons ahead. Staying away from or not supporting the protests is not the same as supporting wenker
and most of the media haven't recognized or acknowledged that fact

This is exactly the problem we face. Spoken to a few who confirm this.

Wenger - "When you have 60k people in the stadium and 100 are not happy, people only speak about the 100"

Lads - I posted yesterday how dismayed I was by the total apathy of most of our supporters. As my son and I walked to the station after the protest I looked at our "fans" heading to the ground and they could've been going to the theatre, the cinema, out for a meal - anywhere but a big football match.

Arsenal PLC have changed the fan base totally. They decided about 15 years ago that money / profit is more important and this is the end result. Depressing

They won't mate because probably over half the crowd yesterday won't be there against Man City. They'll be replaced by 30,000 new tourists and therein lies the problem.

We could be renamed APATHY PLC

Thats what I posted about Tuesday too. I didnt have tickets for the Bayern game so just made my way back to the tube station when the protest fizzled out ... and the contrast between the fans on the protest and those I walked past who were just there for the game was striking ... and depressing. They were totally detached and oblivious.

I am sure the vast majority of all Arsenal fans who are passionate about the football side of things will want Wenger to go but it made me realise that we are still in a minority as far as public displays of unrest goes.

Wenger himself has even referred to ''100 people not being happy out of 60,000'' :roll:

So sad but true.

The Board of Directors have got the fan base that they wanted.

* Wealthy
* Passive
* Attractive to tourists
* Unlikely to get mad at Groundhog Day
* Likely to spend big on merchandise
* Just happy to be there

Give the Board Manager and Players a choice of that with a quiet stadium or us lot with a rocking stadium and they'll take the 1st choice every time because that is where the money is.

Apathy indeed.

IWWW now seems to think that Wenger will sign.

He always sees his contracts out and signs a new one and I can’t see what will be different this time.

Why would Kroenke sack a person who can double his money?

It doesn’t seem like they’re worried about if Wenger wins the Champions League as long as he qualifies… if he wins the league as long as he’s in the top four.
And Walcott is already satisfied with a semi...ho-ho

Funny that with supposedly 59,900 people backing that despicable piece of scum there wasn't one rendition of TO1 yesterday or against Bayern following the first protest.

In fact when was the last time you even heard that little ditty sung? A few of the window licking parasites gave it an airing during the Norwich protest game last season and I honestly can't remember it being sung since.

Like Augie said the vast majority want him gone, the only problem is they think he deserves respect so don't want to be seen demonstrating against him.

He is a vile piece of shit that is going to take some serious ousting. Let's do everything in our power to make it happen.

heard this yesterday and i think that's the single worst thing any afc player has ever said, even by theo's brainless standards that's saying something. it makes a total mockery of us as a club that we're high fiving at getting past preston, s'oton, sutton and lincoln to get to a domestic cup semi. i mean would atletico madrid get excited about a copa del rey semi like it's a big achievement? they're a club with a smaller budget by far yet have gotten to two european cup finals in the last two years.

this season has been the worst in terms of how i've felt about the club, and our support has turned more and more passive until some of the people at the bowl deserve all they get but they don't even realise it, they don't even see how they're getting completely played each year. these stupid stupid people forking over thousands for their season tickets, honestly they're fucking morons.
.
if that *word censored* signs that contract (Which he may already have done) then i don't know what to do. i never thought i'd seriously consider not going to away games anymore because i do love the social side of football but being surrounded by people that still tolerate wenger and kroenke...i don't want that because i literally hate them. proper arsenal have more in common with opposition fans than some of the weapons that support us, who the fuck is moh haider and where the fuck was he ten years ago the bellend? all those *word censored* pretending to be arsenal in order to further their own media careers can fuck off bar a couple that took part in the protest.

Yeah a lot of people I speak to want Wenger to go ... but all they seem to think he is guilty of is getting old and past his best. If only that was true ...

These people are completely ignoring the arrogance, the manipulation and the blatant lies.

Some of the ''statistics'' Wenger comes out with to show himself in a better light are not just something he thinks up on the spot. They are delibarately deceitful and misleading ... and you do not come out with this stuff unless you are trying to mislead people.

Wenger is not some lovable old man who has lost his way. He is a self-serving fraud and hypocrite who has been allowed to take root at our club by a bunch of other self-serving frauds and hypocrites.
