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.
This sheer unbridled arrogance and spite, really does make you wonder why the press are always so lenient with him. They seem to never ask the second and third follow-up questions, to really drive a point home.
When you watch something like this, you realise what a truly nasty character he is. All this bollocks about him being such an erudite and charming character, is quickly shown up once someone even remotely puts him on the spot. I've come to detest the man. A dictator and a sociopath. I've said it before, but a shrink would have a field day with the egotistical nutter.
You watch the way Juventus and Atletico Madrid play and you know that whether Wenger spends tuppence ha'penny or £300m this Summer it matters not because he will never produce a side that can defend with the required discipline to progress in the CL beyond the also ran stages (nor win the league for that matter). These two have given an absolute masterclass over these 2 ties. I can concede we will never have Messi, Ronaldo, Suarez etc playing for us - we never will have the Galacticos - but I can't accept rank bad defending and organisation......and teams with a far lesser budget than us are proving how its done

Yep, and on the flip side everyone talking about there being wholesale changes needed at Barca this summer as they will suffer the horrific fate of probably only finishing runners up and exiting the CL at the QF stage. What a fucking disaster eh? Best hire a coach on £8.5m a year to show them the way !

Allegri on the sideline kicking every fucking ball until the last second of play - contrast that to our mummified geriatric with his zip and rubber band

Just after the board went up at the end to show 3 mins injury time a Juventus player played a really shit pass losing possession when a simple pass to a team mate was on. Allegri lost his shit on the sideline at the mistake. And this was with them 3 up with 3 mins to go!
Imagine the shock he'd get if he rocked up at ours in the summer and witnessed the shit Sir. Flicks-A-Lot and co. get up to on a game by game basis. Poor fucker would have a seizure.
I don't really watch Italian football, i find it quite dull, and i only really watch our cl games. So I havent seen that much of Juve under Allegri, obviously i know he has a superb record there, but that's about as far as my knowledge goes.
I decided to watch the Barca game as i thought it'd be quite lively (I was wrong). I have to say I was very, very impressed with Juve and how he set the team up perfectly to get the game and result they wanted.
I did want Simeone as our next boss, but he doesn't really seem to want to come to England. Allegr, on the other hand,i has been reported as wanting to come (god knows why he'd leave Juve tho), and he does seems like more of a fit with Arsenal, than what Simeone does.
The game was boring as fuck, but I'd have loved it if it was us putting in that kind of performance in a big European match.. If we went there 3 nil up (unlikely, I know), we'd have no game plan, try to outscore them, let in a silly goal...and then collapse to yet another humiliating defeat.
If we have any chance of getting Allegri, then we should move heaven and earth to get him.
Unfortunately.....we wont.

I thought it for months but the plan is to do fuck all, dither as usual, let Allegri go to Barcelona and a few other decent manangers find new jobs so the board and the AKB cult an say that Wenger is the best available as there is nobody else. If we wanted Allegri or that bloke at Monaco, we would have them in a click of the fingers. Every time that you look at sides like Monaco, Juventus or Atletico Madrid, it just shows up Wanker even more as a useless old *word censored*. He's finished, the world knows it and keeping him on is just fucking pathetic and fucking unfair.
Allegri as Arsenal manager, what a thought.. Closing in on three consecutive titles for him (is it six for the club?) Holding Suarez,Neymar and Messi scoreless for 180 minutes and as Rodders pointed out above he lost it with a player who carelessly lost possession in injured time...
Proper defending is as good to watch as exciting attacking play.. Reading the game, closing out space, winning individual duels, putting the bodies on the line getting blocks in..We saw it all last night..
I think if he arrived in North London he wouldn't lose patience with Ramsey etc he just wouldn't waste precious time on them..."listen Aaron we got a call from.(insert club name) and in the best interest of both parties we have accepted their offer"
Theo, Gibbs. Monreal, Giroud, and many more would be getting that message..
But it aint happening, Juve have Allegri and we have Wenger.. End of story..
I've had a moment of absolute clarity. I've realised we actually aren't a football club anymore we are a multinational corporate and as such, I won't be supporting Arsenal as a football club until it turns back into one...I may as well be watching Unilever play football. That's it I'm done until the board do the right thing by everyone, and that actually includes Wenger, and put him and us out of our misery. I just wonder how the f**k they don't see what has been blindingly obvious to anyone with an modicum of intelligence over the last 10 years. The press....where do I f**cking start....they have to to start to call him out a lot more aggressively. I've know him to be a control freak for many many years, he is not pleasant company, he is nasty man as that video link showed above, anyone who questions him is removed from the club pretty quickly. The whole situation is laughable when I'm sure we could employ someone like allegri and a decent sporting director a la overmars for the entire wage of Wenger. Jesus, it's not rocket science, but we can be assured there will be a silver lining if he stays as we will be complete and utter w**k n next year and he will be sacked by Christmas.
to celebrate
