Do you think?

Do you think?

Post by Rob Admin »

A simple question:

Do you think Guadiola, Mourinho or any other manager who has to perform to keep their managerial status would have played two weakened sides in their opening CL matches?

Wenger can and does because he is unanswerable to absolutely no one but himself.

Enough of this dictator.

I don't think any other manager anywhere in the world would've done what AW did.

No other manager at any other big club in Europe would have survived an 8-2,a 4-4 being 4-0 up.getting knocked out in the CL in the last 16 for 5 years running.As Mourinho so rightly said Wenger is a Specialist in Failure.But you can bet Wenger will still be in a job longer than Mourinho at Chelsea

No other manager would get away with those decisions and when you look at pep getting no small amount of stick at Bayern lately (despite winning everything :roll: ), it does make you wonder wtf is going on at our club :roll:

Have to say though, that it really pisses me off when I see and hear fans bemoaning the fact that the yankee wa.nker and the useless board, put no pressure on the *word censored*.......are we the fans any different ? They (the board) sit silently in their plush seats as rome burns around them, and we sit in our comfy seats and grumble meekly in case we upset any of the akb sheep and in case the media lambast us as ungrateful :roll:

Spot on augie every ST renewed is a vote for Wenger to stay .Kroenke runs the club back in Denver and turns for up a couple of games a season.The only results he is concerned about are the financial results.The only way to get rid of Wenger is fans not renewing ST's as long as Wenger remains.Its the fans who keep Wenger in a job

We have an absentee, profiteering owner; supine fans and an unaccountable manager.

Only at Arsenal would mediocrity and a total lack of ambition be tolerated for over a decade.

He is the worst manager in Europe. No other manager with the resources at his disposal would under-achieve so woefully, so often. I honestly think that you could take a manager from League 1 or the Conference and they would do a much better job than this *word censored*.

im still so pissed off with wenger and his shit team selections once more.
didnt buy a striker in the summer, didnt buy a DM, stuck with mertasaker and playing the second choice keeper in the CL, the man is clueless and has to go , yes it was nice to win the last two FAcups but at the end of the day the team hasnt progressed ,
he refused to shake hands last night and ran down the tunnel and refused to answer a lot of questions in his interviews after the game, i never want arsenal to lose but there is no way in fucking hell i want to be in the bloody europa league, which at this stage is very likely, time to fuck off arsene before you lose all the respect you have built up down the years.

Hopefully failure to progress past the group stages will be costly for Wenger and Stan. Therefore I'm hoping for back-to-back defeats against Bayern and two wins for Olmpiacos vs that 4th tier European power house whose name I can't even recall.

That would leave:

Bayerns P4 12pts
Olmpiacos P4 9pts
4th Rate European Side P4 3pts
Arsenal P4 0pts

Then a draw at home to that team we lost away to would save us having to suffer at the hands of Dynamo Chocolate Bar in the Europa league, when an unknown manager outsmarts Le Relic on the last 64 of the competition.

Bayern are 8 nil on aggregate against the two European thoroughbreds that took 6 points from us :oops:

Le Gimp, there's only one Le Gimp :barscarf:

Its not just the cost of this seasons failure,again. in the cl which keeps highlighting his shortcomings in europe but it is the fact that our failure plus the recent failures of the other premier league teams.This will come back and bite arsenal in 2017 when the champions league berth is down to 3 places and not 4.So our virtual trophy cabinet wont be able to display our fourth place and our most consecutive appearances in the group stages together.On the reason that Cech got dropped for Ospina could it be Cech questioned some of Wengers defensive tactics .

For me it isnt about whether fans renew or not - people can renew their season tickets but still kick up a right stink when they are being fed bullshit performances like last night. Some seem to think that it is an either/or scenario - if you aint happy then dont renew, but if you renew it meants that you must buy into everything these cnuts are giving you and that it absolute bullshit :evil:
That being said I'm glad I gave up our two season tickets at the end of the 2013/2014 season - I would be more than happy to travel over if there was some sort of serious protest planned against le tool and the american *word censored*, but I'll be fcuked if I am going to contribute my hard earned money to line their pockets :evil: As I said a million times before, it is the apathy from the fans that angers me more than anything else involving our club
