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.
Didn't know his 1000th game in charge was coming up - that's dashed my hopes of him fcuking off then cos making a fanfare of his 1000th game and new contract is exactly what the club is about nowadays as they do party tricks and distract you with one hand so that you don't pay attention to the other hand which is robbing you blind
I believe moaninho will get what he wants out of this whole saga - he practically dared wenker to stay on (with that failure jibe) knowing that le cock won't take the taunt too well and will want to ram it down moaninho's throat
Arsenal have reportedly put plans to unveil boss Arsene Wenger's new contract on hold.
The Gunners wanted to reveal the contract at the Frenchman's 1,000th match in charge later this month.
But according to The Sun, Emirates insiders have become increasingly concerned by Wenger's refusal to commit himself to the £160,000-a-week contract agreed in principle last year.
Chief executive Ivan Gazidis said in January: "Arsene will be extending with us and, at the right time, we will announce that."
Yet behind the scenes, there are said to be growing fears that Britain's longest-serving manager could yet walk away when his current deal expires at the end of the season.
Wenger, 64, has always maintained he will only sign a new deal when he is certain his team can win honours again.
He was enraged by Jose Mourinho's "specialist in failure" jibe and knows those accusations will be hurled at him once more if Arsenal fail to end their nine-year trophy drought after topping the Premier League table for four months.
The Frenchman joined in October 1996 and his 1,000th match will be at Chelsea on March 22 - unless Arsenal draw next week's FA Cup tie, in which case it will be at Goodison Park on March 18 or 19.
Please please please .... What can we do to encourage Wenger to go.?!?
All we want is hope that with all the resources the club has, that we stand a chance of building a winning team.
He does not know how to do this (too much evidence over 10 years) , look at the total wage bill... He has spent a lot ( there's NO MONEY CONSTRAINTS!!!!)
Please please ... What can we do to rid ourselves of him ?!?!?!

But the contract remains unsigned... so there's hope
the thing i dont understand is all my mates (all fans of man u and pool) seem to think that wenger could walk into a top job (monaco, PSG, real madrid) at his leisure....where did he get this aura from???
