Re: WENGER - Views For and Against.
Wenger is in a no-lose situation with this Ozil deal, too.
If he turns out to be a great signing, then he'll say he was right about only adding players to the squad with "extra special quality". All those sheep on the fence will suddenly turn back into AKBs, and the contract extension will be slapped on the table.
If he flunks, he'll point to the media/fans, and say "I told you so" - £40m signings don't make a great player, the price is in no way indicative of the quality, and that this is why he's never looked to tie-up these kind of deals in the past. All those sheep on the fence will apologise, say AW was right all along, and let him go back to his project.
He knows what he's doing, this Wenger bloke.

You miserable bastards need to listen to the wise words of Sir Patrick Barclay
"Patrick Barclay: Arsene Wenger's sweet 16 is well worth celebrating"
"Also worth remembering is that Wenger had become the first manager to take a London team to the European Final"
"When the going gets tough — and Wenger’s performance in the transfer market has conspired in making it so — the tough keep going."
ONE ARSENE WENGER......THERE'S ONLY ONE ARSENE WENGER

Re: WENGER - Views For and Against.
The man truly is a genius. He knew leaving it to the last day would ensure everyone would be eternally grateful that he spent half the money available on not strengthening the areas that needed it. And now this not remotely surprising development. Arsene really knows.....how to look after number one.

Re: WENGER - Views For and Against.
Poor deluded SteveO can blag on about his BBQ all day long but the simple fact is Arsene Wenger will not be manager of Arsenal Football Club come June 2014. Tick tock he's time is up. I plan on organising a fringe BBQ to celebrate and none of you fcukers are invited

Not alone should myself and sid be invited, but you should be paying to fly us over for it


You are 100% right in not inviting the rest of those "johnny come late wob"

Re: WENGER - Views For and Against.
So does this mean there is a Battle of the BBQ's on lads!?
I think you should both put up your menu's on here so we experts can decide which one is worth attending:
Menu's need to include:
What types and brands of alcohol (and the amounts) that will be available
What food you will be serving up (both veggie & non-veggie)
What the entertainment will be
What celeb's you can 100% guarantee will be in attendance

Re: WENGER - Views For and Against.
Rodders BBQ is contingent upon Wenger no longer being manager of Arsenal, so the earliest it will be happening is around 2017.OneBardGooner wrote:So does this mean there is a Battle of the BBQ's on lads!?

Entertainment at mine is a tribute speech by Patrick Barclay, watching Fever Pitch in the garden, jamming to the sounds of the Away Boyz, and the food and drink is dependant upon the length of the contract signed by our Lord and Master. Anything 3 years plus and we are dining out on the finest Argentinian steak and a selection of premium beers will be on offer, after the initial champagne reception Diamond Club style.
There will be prizes on offer for whoever comes up with best "One Arsene Wenger banner" and the Arsenalisation of my garden

BBQ....is Rodders having a laugh? BBQ...is Rodders having a laugh ?

Re: WENGER - Views For and Against.

The Indonesian supporters club have offered to donate their portrait as one of the prizes
Would look fantastic in Rodders front room I reckon ?
