I'm not talking about specific passages of play, I'm talking about mental toughness. Something that Arsene has never instilled in a side. And that's why we get bullied out of the title by the likes of Man Utd, Bolton and Birmingham year after year. And his response? Signing the ultra-lightweight Walcott!Fabrestuta wrote:A bit more balls we would have won the FA cup in 99? I'm sorry did you not see the 2 legendary games against United? Was it Wengers fault that Bergkamp missed a penalty in the 90th minute? was it also his fault that Giggs scored possibly the best goal in FA cup history?

you say most players would trade their mum ? well yh hleb is a great example of that isnt he.
an yes i drank quite a bit in the game[/quote]
Hleb did trade his mum to play for us...he just wants her back now!
Keep drinking, it numbs the pain. Tomorrow everything will be fine, except our season will be over, oh bollocks.

We played blinding all season in 99, but came up against a United team who also happened to be in blinding form. Both of those FA cup games could have gone either way, and we only lost the title on the last day of the season.

Up to this season I would agree but that has changed this season. The walcott isssue is seperate. He can not play right midfielde only ever plays well when upfront. Arsene does not to realise that. Ditto Hleb is not playing well he needs some competition in his position and Eboue....well I am not even going to go there!Bring Back Pires wrote:I'm not talking about specific passages of play, I'm talking about mental toughness.

Check out this discussion related to a gooner article...I don't think the actual cash to buy the players is the problem.Gunnerz4life wrote:I think we should start judging Wenger the day we find out our true financial situation.

Re: Wenger DOESN'T Know
Get rid of Wenger!? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?Bring Back Pires wrote:If you get rid of Henry, Bergkamp, Vieira and Pires and replace them with Adebayor, Bendtner, Hleb and Walcott, then you can't expect to win the league.
There was money available at the start of the season and in the January transfer window, but Stubborn Wenger decides not to do anything. Time for him to go.

I obviously appreciate what Wenger has done for us, but I think he's gone as far as he can go, and it's clear that there's no "third great team" in sight.
There comes a time for everyone to move on, and I think at this stage, it would be best if we had some fresh ideas in. There's no doubt in my mind that we can't attract a top draw manager.
If you don't agree with that then fair enough, but that's how I feel!

See I have no reason to believe the board. I frankly dont trust Edelman and Hill Wood when they say there is money available. However if indeed money is available and its Wenger's arrogance that stops from being successful, then he should go. But like I said we can only speculate about our financial condition.

In pre-season, Wenger said that he did have money available to buy players. But said, "Who would I buy"?Gunnerz4life wrote:See I have no reason to believe the board.

Which is fair enough, but the other top three clubs are finding top players to buy and being successful, so why can't we?
