Genuine quote from official site 12th Aug 2011 in relation to Newcastle game:

â€œWe conceded two penalties under very special circumstances on the day and were a bit unlucky"

I defy anyone to even attempt to justify Arsene Wenger's continual employment at our club

"I believe the best thing for us, one day before the season starts, is not to focus on the possible transfers"

"We are in a position where we deserve some credit.

"Liverpool, Tottenham and all these clubs who are out of the top four would like to be in there.

"We have not won a trophy but have been consistently in the top four. Our target is to qualify for the [Group Stage] then we will have been 15 or 16 years on the trot in the Champions League [proper].

"You will see one day that that is not as easy as it looks. It is true that we have not won the title but we are not the only ones.

"We were very close last year. Very, very close. We lacked a little bit of maturity at decisive moments. We played too many games in December and January. That caught up with us in the end.

"We finished the season badly because of psychological circumstances. We lost the Carling Cup in the last minute. We went out to Barcelona under special circumstances. We dropped points to Liverpool in the last minute that were decisive. It was difficult to take for the team.

"It means the media environment with our team is very negative at the moment - if our fans go the way the media want them to go we have no chance.

"What I want is for our fans to appreciate and to support our team"

And this bloke is allowed to run our club

Just saw this shit over on Pravda.com and came straight here to add it. What kind of idiots does he take us for?

Oh, and the other Wenger article is getting us ready for his failure in the transfer market:

"Wenger - Everyone looks for centre backs"

Aaaahhhhhhhrggggggggg!

I'm absolutely certain that Wenger is mentally ill.

Wenger was a dickhead when I switched off for the night last night and he is still a dickhead first thing this morning

selsdon · Post by **selsdon** » Sat Aug 13, 2011 11:48 am

In the cold light of day and the morning after the night before, his comments read even worse.

Why was he not dragged out of the press conference by the men in white coats.

Some of that shit yesterday is beyond belief.

Post by **T.S** » Sat Aug 13, 2011 12:14 pm

If all of the shit he came out with yesterday was true (and by that, I mean if he actually believed all of it, rather than it just being some spin that will protect any kinds of deals we're going to do), then I've really had enough of him. If he doesn't sign anyone and comes out with more remarks like these throughout the season, I can see there being a big revolt against him.

I've got a sneaky feeling things are going to get nasty at The Arsenal this season.

I actually hope it does get nasty Mr Sanders but I fear it will have little impact.

The clubs Orange Jacket Gestapo will soon remove anyone voicing their unwanted opinion and there are plenty of mugs willing to take there place.

You see how quickly any banner that is anti-Wenger/club gets removed.

We get multiple 'special circumstances' now.

Funny how Ligue Deux always seems to be at the heart of 'special circumstances' too....

After Newcastle game for Arsenal Official Website

"We will learn from this today"

How many times will we here that again, let alone how many times have we heard it already

Wenger telling fans to get behind the team ? What team with Nasri and Cesc off we dont have many players left.
I see Bendtner is wanted by all clubs because he is soooo good.
Wenger will get hell this season and he deserves it.
He could have gone out there and got some great players but instead all the cash is going somewhere else.
If you dont buy players why bother.

This makes me very angry.

Wenger - you're a bunch of morons

He obviously thinks the chant "Spend some fucking money" means go and spunk money on any old tat (Downing, Carroll, Adebayor) not what it really means, buy proven experienced class players to fill the many gaps in our team. STOP TRYING TO DO THINGS ON THE CHEAP BY EXPECTING UNDER 20 YEAR OLDS AND BARGAIN FRENCH IMPORTS TO DO THE JOB. THE LAST 6 SEASONS HAVE PROVEN THAT IT DOESN'T WORK

(sorry for shouting)

It is a full house in the latest round of Wenger Buzz Word Bingo following this latest beauty!

ArsÃ¨ne Wenger believes that Arsenal have the "desire and strength" to deal with the loss of Cesc Fabregas.

The Spaniard ended an eight-year spell in North London by agreeing to join Barcelona on Sunday night. Ahead of the Champions League tie with Udinese, the Arsenal manager spelt out that, in the end, the deal was driven by the player's wish to return to his hometown club.

"We lost a world-class player and we are sad about that," said Wenger. "We fought to keep him but in the end we have to respect the desire of the player as well. This Club is 125 years-old this season and many big players left and yet the Club went on. We want to show that we have the strengths and unity to fight as we ever did at this Club.

"What is important now is to focus on our targets. Life goes on and we want to show we have the needed desire and strength to deal with the situation.

"It was my decision and I submitted that decision to the board and to the chairman.

"Everybody has his opinion but, at the end of the day, you have to make decisions. To get the best out of a player, he needs to be completely committed to where he is and Cesc wanted to go back to his home city.

"But if you understand one thing, it is Cesc did not go for financial reasons, or that he did not love this Club. Cesc went because he was desperate to play for his hometown team, where he was educated. It is very difficult to resist to that.

"But we wish good luck to Cesc, who is a great player, and in my opinion one of the best players in the world."
