Cesc Twitted:In this life you don't get judged by your words, you get judged by your actions. Fact!

Kinda contracts what Wenger was bleating on about!

Well Cesc has no desire, no mental strength and no will to win after opting out of playing against Blackburn, mug.

Arsene Wenger has promised Arsenal fans they will be rewarded if they keep faith in their young talented squad.

It was just six weeks ago that Wenger boldly declared the Gunners could win all of the four competitions that they were involved in.

Since then, their campaign has imploded. They were surprisingly beaten in the Carling Cup final by Birmingham, then they were outclassed by the supremely gifted Barcelona team in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals before being humbled by Manchester United in the FA Cup at the same stage of the competition.

Arsenal now trail United by seven points in the Premier League having failed to win a league game since February 23rd.

The draw against Blackburn last week was their third in succession, but with United still to travel to the Emirates next month and Arsenal having a game in hand, Wenger remains confident their season can end in success.

Recognition

"It doesn't hurt me personally, but it bothers me that the players do not get the recognition for what they have put in since the start of the season," said Wenger.

"It is important we realise this team is absolutely amazing for what they do at their age. One day people will understand that, but at the moment, I am not sure many people do.

"How old is Wilshere? 19. It looks like in England you cannot play without him. How old is Fabregas? How old is Nasri?

"Now it is a crucial moment where we have to trust these players and not listen to some opinions of people who have not worked half a day in football.

"Do you know how much work, dedication and mental strength is behind a team like that?

"They have not been built just like that, it is a real process of club work, coaching work - that is not just to go out and buy a player for X amount of money.

Build

"What is hard in football is to build a team and work with the players every day."

While Wenger remains committed to his footballing principles, the frustrations within the Arsenal supporters continue to swell.

But the manager who manufactured the "Invincible" is convinced time will prove his philosophy is right.

"People's opinion is people's opinion and we have to accept that in our game," he added.

"As long as you are second in the league, I am ready to sign for the next 20 years and stand up for that."

If all what he says is true then he has to fucking go.Hes getting as deluded as US MARTY

Perryashburtongroves · Fri Apr 08, 2011 4:13 pm

Has he got his denial of all things realistic from the Middle Eastern dicatators or is it from the last days of Hitler?

He's given young players a go and built a team that can finish second, third or fourth each year but quite frankly, mate, you're not a teenage chairty, nor are you working for The Princes Trust. You are judged as a successful team by the amount of trophies you win not by how old your side is. For fuck's sake, wake up, get over this stupid fucking obsession and realise that your job is to win things not make yourself a laughing stock.

How many times have we been told this?! We're always sold a promise of a bright future just down the line, when does this future actually arrive?!

No more 'Future' quotes!

"the future isn't written. It can be changed, you know that. Anyone can make their future whatever they want it to be. I can't let this one little photograph determine my entire destiny. I have to live my life according to what I believe is right in my heart. "

He's starting to sound like a desperate boyfriend who's just been dumped.

"Please, one more chance - stick with me, I'll change, anything"!

Let's just say it would kind of suck if they're right and really raise questions about whether we should have built a new stadium

Does Maya calendar predict 2012 apocalypse?

I have completely given up on him. I dun believe what Lee Dixon, Martin Kweon or any other ex players said about him recognizing that the youth project has failed and will start buying players. He has a point to prove and will go on proving it even if it's going to take another 4 or 5 yrs.
