If you think that this is a club that is in the need of fan protests, then you should have a word with yourself. Have a look at Portsmouth, Leeds, Chester and Crystal Palace. There's absolutely nothing in the rules that says Arsenal can't go the same way (despite what some people on here think).
4 years is not alot of patience at all. Again, look around the league and you will find teams that have won sweet F all for over 100 years. Thats patience! There is absolutely no justification for protests about the manager. He is not immune from criticism by any means, but he does not deserve that level of disrespect. WE are 3rd in the league! FFS!
Edited for awful spelling!
Vlad the disenchantment that I personally am feeling is not because we are on the verge of going five full seasons without silverware and I feel that is too easy an opt out for the rose-tinters to throw that accusation at fans like me. Put basically this team and squad has regressed alarmingly over the past few seasons to the point that it is accepted that
at most only 2 or 3 from this current team would make the starting 11 of The Invinceables
You might argue that comparing any side to that 2004 team is unfair and to a point I will agree with you but what I am doing is comparing the individuals (not the team) and imo I believe that only cesc would get his place in that team (with sagna running ralph close) and that is a poor indictment of our current standards.
I have two major gripes with wenger and I keep saying this - one is that he will not spend money improving our team and the second is that he seems unable to see how poor some of our current players are
That he has point blank refused to see, what some of us have seen for 18 months now, that average al is nowhere near good enough and replaced him is shameful by anybodys standards and I do not buy this bollox about wenger knowing more than the rest of us when it comes to this clown
I name almunia simply cos he is the most obvious one but he certainly aint the only one and wenger's continued purchase of midgets is unbelieveable
Anyway DB10 says that he believes most Gooners are willing to wait until may to judge wenger but that day is nearly upon us now and realistically I cant see anything changing. If we have the money and wont spend then wenger has to go
