Open top bus idea is great. But we need top 4 for that. Don't think we can manage that.

Main thing protest tomorrow and fundraising :box:

As others have said Armchair, that's a genius idea. It would be all over the media, because as someone else has said, it's not only hard-hitting, but also very funny. The Wenger mask is a great idea.

There's been some really good ideas put forward here, but this might be the best of the lot. It also ridicules one of the mainstays (flawed of course) of the pro Wenger lobby....top 4 and the CL qualification for the last 300 years. To parody that lame achievement could well mean that when an akb clown brings it up, everyone automatically thinks of the open top bus that was all over the media.

Great stuff.

COMMENT FROM THE ARSENAL CHAIRMAN

Arsenal chairman Sir Chips Keswick says:

“We are fully aware of the attention currently focused on the club and understand the debate. We respect that fans are entitled to their different individual opinions but we will always run this great football club with its best long-term interests at heart.
"Arsène has a contract until the end of the season. Any decisions will be made by us mutually and communicated at the right time in the right way.”

I think if we keep going then they will not extend the contract.
Especially if the results continue.

The squad is split, we could be in freefall if Lincoln can get the first goal!

Which is code for "we're just finding the right time to announce his new deal. Once we've beaten Lincoln and swatted some of the shite we're due to play over the coming weeks, it will coincide nicely with the ST renewals when all the flip floppers will be firmly back up his arse at the prospect of another Wembley final and a top 4 finish"

We were gonna put up the Gazidis quote, various pics of banners etc. All on a digital loop. I was gonna get speakers and do Wenger Out! stuff.
As there were only a few of us cost was prohibitive.

Another fantastic idea we had was...,.......

Hire an open-top bus. Last day of season drive it round with a mock"top four trophy". Banners hanging off the sides Singing WengerOut songs. Now that'd be mint!



That is a great idea. I'm sure someone could do a few of those yellow Advanced Warning of Road Closure signs and stick on some message about it being like a real trophy. Put them up on the street lights a few days before and then get the bus out on the day. Its an asolutely wonderful idea and would get a lot of coverage as it's amusing but spot-on.
Love the open top bus idea - but......

It will come at the end of the season when he will have already left :barscarf:

or have signed his 2 year deal :evil:

Yes. Its what we were planning for final game at the emirates last season.
Could still do it though. Just for shits and giggles

IF we win a few PL games.

Lincoln. OK, that surely is a win, and sets The Arsenal up with a big game at Wembley. Plus point for Wenger.

WBA Away. Saturday early ko. Arsenal notoriously poor at that time. Also defeat last time there, 2-1.
Could be a tricky game. Defeat there, and Wenger is on the ropes again.

Then Man City home. Could get hammered 5-0. Wouldn't surprise me.

West Ham home, on a Wednesday evening.
Big protest, defeat to Wham, and it's all over, IMO.

Then Palace and Boro away, probably brownie points available to Wenger.
Then Wembley versus THFC, Man City, Chelsea or Man U.
Get a beating there.

Then Tottenham away. Man United at home.

No, Wenger and his squad are not going to pull this one out of the bag.
He's lost the dressing room, quite clearly. It's curtains!

Found this in my facebook vault, I created it when the club did the design a banner competition to go around the stadium in 2012 - sadly it only received 1 vote, so didn't get made.

Incidentally, I have thought of a way to keep the pressure on during the international break when we have no match.

Nothing to stop us attending lower league matches - Barnet, Cambridge, Colchester, Southend, Gillingham, etc, etc and sticking up a Wenger Out banner is there ?
