THE WENGER THREAD

[Ed Hunter The Gooner]

he wont quit,no chance,his middle name is pinnochio.one thing I do have to say though is that the 10 game unbeaten run at the end of last season with 8 wins two draws and our performances this season so far including the man city friendly and of course excluding the shower of shoite on the opening day of the season against villa we seem to be getting back to our former selves don't you think??the game against spuds was a joy to watch,we let them have the ball,they did nothing with it and we hit them on the break at pace time and time again.maybe with the ozil signing we could start to once again be a proper title challenger,our defence is now very difficult to break down and giroud is scoring,the midfield must be one of the most blessed in Europe,could this at last be the makings of a new dawn,time will tell!!

the rest of this season will hurt people like you the most. prepare for a hurricane of shite

Well, I really hope so! But then again, I have gotten my hopes up and finally crashing down too many times to be really hoping too much now. As much I liked to believe that things might finally turn for better now but I don't believe that anymore so long as wenker is still around. Özil signing was absolutely fantastic but in the end, one man can't make the difference. If that happens though, it would be very positive surprise.

So bale didn't make the difference at the spuds, Wrighty then Bergkamp and then Henry to us, pele to brazil, maradonna to argentina, zidane to france, Charlton to Oireland (as it's topical) , ronaldo to madrid, messi to barcelona.....

Suppose your right, one man can't make a difference to a team but here's hoping

Yeah, good examples there mate, but I honestly I think that good team makes it possible for individuals to shine.

Why no frogs...



...it's a perfect homage

I think it's because SteveO is frightened in case someone 'croaks' while eating their food!!!

Mind you, it would make it easier to tell any uninvited guests to 'hop it'!!

Or if they're feeling a little green around the gills.

Agree with that, I just tried to start a debate about it because there are always different angles, anyway its the weekend

With the unbalanced squad we've got AW needs to be creative with his tactics. Standby for hell freezing over.

For all you non believers he has got us to the top of the table ,and as a wiseman on here once said everything is rosy in the garden once more

I wonder why its a little quiet on the Wenger thread .

Decent start, opening day debacle aside but with a threadbare injury prone squad and champions league football about to begin, that's 2 games a week that pretty much the same 11 will have to play. A recipe for disaster. Give it 6 months and then judge it, doing so now proves nothing.

Not judge him in May anymore, no? Ok to judge after a couple of wins again, yep?

Hypocrites United

[armchair]

Fukin goldfish brains (or no brains) just forget all the shit after a few wins.
Just imagine what we could have achieved had Wenger used the resources available to him and strengthened every year with real quality years ago instead of pissing it away on his "project" (which now lies in tatters)

Nothing has changed - a lucky escape against a spirited Macken team papers over the cracks yet again. we could quite easily have lost yesterday.
CL starts next week and we will have Akpom, Gnarby, Myachi as game changers to bring on.

you think a squad of 14 players can actually achieve a good season? we'll get fucked by december when playing all the top sides and fixture congestion builds up. do you really think a couple of victories over poor sides is anything new?

really, we're Arsenal ffs

afcforever didn't mention 14 players, so where have you plucked that number from?

Even if I'm being ultra harsh, and rule out Chamberlain, Podolski and Diaby for the season; don't count any strikers other than Giroud, ignore the new keeper (Viviano), and don't consider young players like Frimpong, Gnarby, Zalalem, etc. then I still count 18 players and I'm not convinced ruling out Podolski, Viviano and Chamberlain is even valid

So that leaves me: Chesney, Fabianksi; Jenkinson, Sagna, Monreal, Gibbs, Vermaelen, Koscielny, Mertesacker; Arteta, Flamini, Ramsey, Wilshere; Cazorla, Ozil, Theo, Rosicky; Giroud.

I give up. It'll be much simpler if you just tell me which 14 you count - or more interestingly, which players you've discounted!

Wouldn't worry about miserable doomsayer gooners, when a hardcore spud says we have a chance of winning the title with a bit of luck you sit up and take notice. Yeah wenger can be accused of mismanaging the club for a number of years but right now we have just beaten the spuds and top of the league, enjoy it.
