THE WENGER THREAD

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.

If Wenger is resting players who haven't played for 10 days then he deserves to go. How about winning the trophy to be in it next season? 10 games to finish 4th or 6 games to win a trophy. Both Liverpool and chelski finished outside the top 4 the season they won the European Cup.

To do this he must believe that the team at his disposal is not strong enough to compete against the remaining teams in the competition.

This is NOT the Arsenal way.

Typed my post at the top of the page earlier but when I came back to the ipad later it was still displayed so I pressed submit again and it turns out that it had gone through earlier :oops: Rather than leave it displayed twice, I thought it would be better to just delete it 8)

All this talk of mental toughness in the side, we have this and that, is quite clearly a big pile of horse *****.

But yes, spot on.

Resting players to qualify for the tournament you are resting the players from playing in. Is this his mantra, qualifying nextyear more important than progressing in the very same competition this year?
Madness.

As it turns out he was right for once. Fabinaski played well and Vermaelan has been poor. Mind you too little too late and its time to go. BORED OF THE SAME SHIT YEAR AFTER YEAR AFTER YEAR AND WE WONT EVEN PLAY IN THE CHAMP LEAGUE NEXT YEAR !

Wenger's comments in the press today are very intelligent - if you don't see through his bullshit, that is.

By saying that no clubs reaching the QFs is a "massive disappointment for English football", he's essentially saying: "Look, every PL club is on the same level. It's not just Arsenal struggling in Europe, it's all the English clubs. We're no worse than the rest of them, honest".

Wenger must have thought Christmas had come early when all the other British clubs were eliminated by the same stage as us. And now he's phrased those comments so that people aren't talking about Arsenal's poor performance in the tournament, but they're analysing 'England's' poor performance in the tournament.

Like any politican (or in this case, wannabe-politician), you can read him like a book.

Notice that he didn't say how Arsenal had fallen behind the other English clubs when Chelsea won it in 2012, or when Man Utd reached the final in 2008, 2009 and 2011.

This. I said the same thing this morning to a couple of Gooner friends. That was all pre-planned by Wenger.
