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.
After 30 years of being a ST holder I might just do that at the end of this season I thought about it this summer but couldn't give up on the club but now the old fool has renewed his contract, I'll have to reconsider again if this season goes how I expect it to.
The point is that the fucking idiot should have had it all sorted out by now, we've needed a new keeper since we got rid of Lehman, Alibongo blatantly is'nt good enough and neither is his joke of an understudy. It's nothing short of criminal neglect that we don't have a decent first team keeper. We're "The Arsenal" for fucks sake, why are we even squabbling about paying peanuts for a 37 year old???? We should have gone out and signed a top quality keeper three years ago and if we lose points this season due to goalkeeping fuck ups then I blame Wenger just as much as whatever clown we have in goal
Calm down - I'm not a paid up AKB member but I know him well enough to know what he can and can't say in public. Anyone who has worked in management in any field will know why Arsene can't come out and say "I've got two rubbish keepers, a third one who is up and down and a promising youngster not ready for the big time yet" which is what most us know to be true. If the deadline passes and we havn't signed a keeper than we are all entitled to go ape shit.

They would rather believe that and the events inside of the club and the policies in place since 2005 are purely coincidental somehow.
It's not as if those two things are mutually exclusive so surely there is no reason why someone can't believe both, is there?

Interesting point - thing is no one seems to genuinely believe that.
For me I just find the idea of this being completely coincdental hard to believe in the extreme because if that were true than the Board would have sacked Mr. Wenger somewhere along the way even though his policies were making them even more money or would be fed up now and do so now. But they have given him a new and improved contract extension.
