No. No, she wouldn't. Unless you were very very drunk. With a new found liking for inter-species fucking. :shock:

I see that pic from OT and it makes me sick to my bones. Everything that is wrong about modern football in one photo.

I love bumping up these little reminders. Seems to touch a nerve in certain uninformed corners however

Think he should go and perhaps even ,want him to go but as long as Stan is in control it will not happen .

The cosy triangle previously discussed of Stan Ivan and AW are all very happy with the latter 2 being handsomely paid by the former and I still believe like many unfortunately that no amount of pressure or banners solely on attacking AW will have any impact now or anytime in the near future.

Everyone knows Wenger wont be sacked. That doesn't mean we shouldn't let him know how we feel.
The banner is directed at Wenger and him alone. He'll see it and his massive ego will take a hit. Good.
Maybe he'll do the decent thing. Maybe he wont. But he should.

Do I detect a (not so hidden) agenda george? :rubchin:

Every time usmanov makes a statement talking up or defending wenger it makes me doubt if he is the man to make the tough decisions for the good of our club - there is no point talking about cosy triangles if usmanov intends having a similar alliance with wenger :x

Yea, ffs wouldn't it be great to have a job like Wengers - no pressure to succeed from your current boss and by all accounts no pressure from your prospective boss either.

I think Usmanov has the same problem about Wenger as BSM: despite the vast majority of their supporters being anti-Wenger, it will seriously hamper their appeal to the fanbase in a wider sense if they come out and express these views.

Fair enough there's no need for Usmanov to come out praising Wenger all the time but if he publicly criticises him then hoards of AKBs will forever loathe him and he'll be widely branded as an impatient sugardaddy billionaire. Although tbh this is largely how he's perceived anyway and most of those fans will always 'morally oppose' him so I don't know what the damage would really be, although it certainly won't do prospects of a seat on the board wonders.

Wenger isn't going to get sacked under this regime unless we actually finish mid-table miles off the CL for two seasons in a row at least and even then I doubt the board would have the bottle. But it's plain that he's enjoying his job less and less every season, particularly this year, and he's now under no illusions as to the existence of an anti-Wenger sentiment amongst the fans. Although the board will undoubtedly be willing to extend his contract I don't think he'll be here beyond 2014, there's every chance he will walk away in the next few years so I wouldn't say that protesting etc is pointless.

I have no hidden agenda, just the same desire as all for us to all "get our Arsenal back".

Usmanov wants a seat on the board and the opportunity to express his opinions.He knows he would be playing a dangerous game by publicly criticising Wenger, when in line with his comments today he believes the underlying problem lays with the board and not necessarily Wenger.

We all know that the Dein Wenger was different to the Kroenke Wenger and he perhaps feels that there is a chance to get the Dein Wenger back in the future with the right backing and support.

I remain more ante Kroenke than pro Usmanov because I believe he and all his policies strategy and management team are the cause of the majority of our problems and until rooted out it would not matter if Mourinho and Guardiola were both appointed next season as they would perhaps do better but would still not get us ' our arsenal back' with a lack of investment or long term strategy.

The Kroenke Wenger has now done a complete u turn on his strategy of not caring what passport a player has by building round a core of british, in the main at best average to ok set of players, it just does not add up beyond working under the restraints imposed upon him.

Usmanov is as confused and perplexed as we all are as to who and what is the real Wenger. I believe he would give him the opportunity to rediscover his real identity with his full backing if given the chance but agree unlikely and sadly a long wait ahead

I think the general consensus is that Wenger given the resources Wenger would still go for the same players. Didn't he once respond to asking what he'd do if somebody gave him £100m to spend by saying he'd give it back?

I looked up Wenger quotes on the internet and WikiQuotes attributed this beauty to him. One of his best:

"We were considering him (Ruud van Nistelrooy) and Francis Jeffers and, in the end, we went for Jeffers."

Wenger needs to go. We need to make him aware that we are not prepared to put up with his insults, arrogance and ineptitude any longer.
We are where we are today because of Wengers 'project' that started before Kronke or Usmanov were ever heard of.
We are reaping what Wenger has sown, no-one else.
All this Usmanov/Kronke debate while relevent is imo very much a distraction from what needs to be done and what can be done right now. Pressure the man that makes the decisions - Wenger.
