:D :D :D

Such a clever man i am told....remember the Rugby team quote which set up 10 years of hate with Stoke....and the quote was in relation to Spurs playing them :banghead:

same thing with saying teams not trying at the end of season, already done Evertons team talk


he is a total fucking arsehole
One thing we don't mention enough is just how many lies he has told through the years. I remember after he sold Vieira he stood on the steps of Highbury and said trust me. Now that is irony for you.

how does it work with season ticket timescales - will the club have to announce who the manager is before season tickets are renewed?

this for me is the ultimate 2 fingers to supporters

Wenger has practically made his career out of achieving a top 4 finish, and yet now has the nerve to come out and say it is unimportant!! :banghead:
I mean I actually agree with him to an extent when he says that but for him to say it and say he is baffled that the fans think it is so important really is unbelievable - when you consider that he has gone on and on every season about how important it is!!! :x

I had grown to really dislike the man, but I now feel just total hatred towards him. GET OUT NOW :evil:

Kroenke has hardly tightened the purse strings has he?? The wage bill is immense and we have signed utter shite for multiple tens of millions....albeit they are no doubt half decent players coached appallingly if indeed they are at all. That's the fucking point.
But we have Wenger not Allegri, I think that actually is the point!!.

He's being snide and flippant because he feels he should have got more respect for his remarkable consistency in finishing top 4 for 20 years, that is the way he sees it, you don't need a PHD in psychology to work it out. He is actually quite an insular thinking man it would appear, so how the hell is he going to "reinvent himself"?.

He would do if we had an owner with ambition, the point is we don't, just saying Kroenke has 'made funds available' as if that will fix all our problems is naive, those funds were not put in by him either they were all generated by the club.

I still haven't had an answer to my question as to whether Kroenke is to blame if/when Wenger renews either?! :rubchin: , I think Wenger's biggest crime is that he is deflecting all the blame upon himself and letting the cowboy in the ranch get away with dragging us down with him. :censored:

You know, I'm sure that I recall somebody saying, "the first trophy is to be in the top four". What a brazen, duplicitous wanker this guy is. Why the media don't nail him on the spin and lies is beyond me.

Still, as was said on here yesterday, it's ultimately the fault of the supporters who tolerate his doublespeak and his downright lies. Expect to hear his akb acolytes telling us that top 4 is "nothing special". Of course, what will be erased from history is the scenes of the players cavorting around the pitch at Newcastle and taking the compulsory selfies, having nicked 4th place. Not to mention that last game of the season at West Brom, where poor Martin Fulop thought he was playing for us and Wenger was clinging onto Pat Rice like an old queen and looking like he was on the verge of a heart attack.

Still, not important at all, eh Arsene. Tosser.

I think we are led by thieves both off and on the pitch, I suggest a scorched earth policy, from the top to the bottom to rid us of total waste, a restructure of immense proportions....

thats a very good point and as revenues fall as we wont have any good players to sell and we are not able to charge so much for the Europa League games then those funds will start drying up.

Will Kroenke bother to invest ? No

How is he doing that?
Wenger is not "deflecting blame upon himself", Wenger is to blame FFS, he is the one in charge of all football matters. :banghead:

Fully agree...... its mentioned up there, "the funds were generated by the club" - I have no problem with that whatsoever.... I have no problem with us being run that way and don't expect Stan to put a penny into this club. The days of Ambramovich and the Sheikhs throwing crazy money at it are long gone just look at what chelsea have done in previous transfer windows (albeit with a bit of luck).

Kronke is completely at fault for keeping Wenger on and not demanding more from him but there was £75m made available in the summer and probably more if it was wanted. I for one would be happy with a new manager operating under those sums in the transfer market.

It was spent terribly by Wenger and as you rightly said he is responsible for what happens on the pitch that is why we are in this mess.

Great post Retro, agree with every word and you've covered everything succinctly.

The Wenger and Pat Rice thing you mentioned was the first thing that came to mind reading Wenger's latest comments :D

Wenger is a master at spinning failure as success ... and then when he looks like slipping below even that level .... he moves the goalposts yet again :banghead:

I don't read rubbish like that but I heard him on the radio this morning in an interview where he was saying why have they dismissed it as unimportant that we've finished top 4 all these years...now we might not it's a massive deal...could be wrong but that was my take on it? Think you've misunderstood it?
