The signing of Alexis proves that this isn't true plus Arsene
Wenger said that he doesn't listen to
pundits or social media to judge his team which explains why he is so calm and comes across
as arrogant.
Alexis, If you seriously think that, apart from the occasional exception, Arsenal are either motivated by
Wenger or self motivated, then you have been ignoring not only the legendary soft underbelly we have had for about the last decade, which is universal accepted
as the awful truth throughout the Prem world, by our ex-players, other top ex player
pundits and virtually all our own fans too.
whether for the right or wrong reasons, our leader chose to stay on when things took a turn of sorts... a new owner arrived on the scene, plans for a new stadium emerged and
Wenger became the bearer of bad news... he sold us on a new story, one that required patience on our parts... financial constraints were the order of the day, so that the enormous sums spent on the new venue could be recouped... although some would question the validity of such claims, why wouldn't they believe their faithful leader... according to those within the hierarchy, the future never looked so bright,
as this new home would ensure our place among the elites for years to come...
as we all know now these claims were a well constructed fabrication and so those who feel they were duped in the process are infuriated and rightly so... the fact that this club and it's manager have continually misled the fans, especially following Gazidis's claims about our financial liquidity, simply rubbed more salt in an already gaping wound... this surely isn't how you treat your «family», especially when they supported you through the supposed «lean» years... it was a dirty trick played by Kroenke but the fact is was orchestrated by
Wenger himself hurt the most...
as for those in the media, many of whom are former players or longtime
pundits, who observed the early years firsthand, saw this
as the perfect opportunity to vent the anger they felt towards this pretentious man once and for all... all in all, karma's a bitch
Pundits and fans have been saying this for years and
Wenger has chosen not to bring a powerful DM in, this season it seems
as though we have tried or are atleast looking.

pundit (including those who failed
as manager / coach) know more than our manager,
Wenger!
Now I know that a lot of Arsenal fans and football
pundits will use this
as a stick to beat Arsene
Wenger with, saying that he should have signed a striker in the January transfer window.
I don't think
Wenger the
pundits the fans or the players themselves have any idea at all
as to why Arsenal won.
In short we are a club in disarray, widely recognised
as true by legendary ex-players from
Wengers early era in charge and by ALL top
pundits and respected journalists, without exception.
In the summer, Arsenal fans and
pundits cried out for
Wenger to sign experienced centre backs and a solid central defensive midfielder, yet
Wenger rejected these notions,
as he chose not to bring either in.
Wenger has come under scrutiny from fans and
pundits alike for talking about finishing inside the top four
as if it is something worth celebrating, and Carragher now believes it is an achievement.
as its is Everyone FROM us to the
pundits is saying the same thing and it seems only Arsene
Wenger is saying Giroud is good enough well if it looks like a turd and smells like a turd then its unfortunately a turd and with
Wengers mentality you know its a turd that we are stuck with.

Even though Arsene
Wenger had been on Euro 2016
pundit duty with France, Le Prof has now returned to England to fulfil his duties
as manager, showing no need to take a break away from the game.
More surprising, however, is the fact that the former Leicester City star and current football
pundit Robbie Savage thinks the same about this possible transfer,
as he has no love for Arsenal and has often come across
as not really liking us, often being one of the harshest critics of Arsene
Wenger, individual players or the whole team in general.
It could be a deflection device
as well, because almost every
pundit has said that penalty decision was harsh, so while Deeney may have loved his role
as straight talker, was he really being completely honest or just having an easy pop at
Wenger and Arsenal after his team got lucky?
In doing this, Wilshere became the first England player to win the man of the match award 4 times in a row,

Wenger knows

Wenger's future scheduled for the end of the season, fans and
pundits are asking the big question: who can replace
Wenger as Arsenal manager?
Anyone blaming Sanchez has a short memory, what is happening now at Arsenal isn't new.It has happened before with the likes of rvp, fab and nasri.It is a culture created and nurtured by
Wenger whereby anyone who dares question him is vilified and hounded out of the club while the yes men are guaranteed a starting spot despite poor form week in week out.Players who actually merit being in the first eleven are kept out by under par players who have nothing to show for their guaranteed 90 mins every game.Guys like Podolski and Campbell were pushed out in favor of sanogo and akpom.Perez will be next to go because Iwobi is
Wenger's new love child.it's quite clear that for you to have long career at Arsenal, never question
Wenger and
as one
pundit put it....»
As to me the main reason of the media and some
pundits being against our lovely club, is Arsene
wenger's stubbornness and rigid philosophy.
So I can understand why the
pundit and former Arsenal striker Charlie Nicholas is looking at the way the Gunners got that point against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge and suggesting in a Sky Sports report that Arsene
Wenger drops the club's two big name stars Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil, because they were absent from that game
as well and it seemed to work out pretty well for us.
I swear that the same so - called
pundits that are «laughing» right now (
as well
as fans) were applauding
Wenger for sticking to his guns, and not selling Ozil and Sanchez in the summer.
Back on the subject, me thinks
Wenger is tying to water down the effects of the demo, whilst Parlour just have to say something
as a soccer
pundit trainee.

pundits said that
Wenger's stupidity of not signing a single outfield player during the summer would return to haunt him, he and his stupid mouthpiece called Untold took it
as a joke.

Wenger instead of the club, this is a rubbish reproach, I respect him for what he has done for the club and for his classy behaviour of respecting even the people wanting him out... Unlike the
pundits fools; Carragher and co.

WENGER NEVER SAID WE WERE TITLE CHALLENGER... The
pundits and so called football specialists in this country (none are) were the one qualifying us

There has been much talk about why the contract talks between Arsenal and Alexis Sanchez seems to be taking forever, and many
pundits have opined that the Chilean is waiting to see if we are really title contenders or not, but in Arsene
Wenger's latest update he says that the only hold up is the size of the wages
as Alexis has the desire to remain at the Emirates.
Former Arsenal star and Sky Sports
pundit Paul Merson has made a big prediction when it comes to his old club
as Arsene
Wenger comes under fresh fire.

as do all regular
pundits ex-player, most of whom slate him and think him past his sell by date.
The Sky Sports

As the dust of Arsenal's Champions league exit continues to settle and with our weekend game against Newcastle fast approaching, a lot of fingers are still being pointed in blame for our cup exit, and

pundits and fans, in spite of our amazing win at Monaco and our superb League form.
i completely agree with you, arsenal fans might be the most present online but i truly believe that they are some of the most clueless when it comes down to the game, they slam the manager based on what they read in the papers, on websites
as if it were the gospel truth some of them would like to think they, d do a better job than
wenger and our players, they post a lot of comments and don, t even know the positions of some players even when we win comfortably they, re never satisfied oh also they love the usual cliches used by the so - called journalists /
pundits.
Pundits from the journalism world,
as well
as former Referee Howard Webb, have previously stated that Arsenal have lost their aggression under
Wenger in recent years, but perhaps now things are slowly changing back to the ways they were in the old days.
there is some suggestion that
wenger is backtracking on his fervent stance regarding what players would be staying at the club for the remainder of the season... some might deduce that this is all part of a much bigger, more elaborate plan... by shifting the blame
wenger is attempting to, not so slyly, flip the narrative... by doing so he hopes to evoke empathy from his most ardent supporters, while attempting to rally any fence - sitters, whose faith was waning unless a more legitimate agent of blame emerges... unfortunately, and incredibly insulting to the fans, when
wenger attempts to spin a tale and / or tries to eat his own words, he doesn't seem to play it all the way through in his head, so invariably gaping holes emerge... say we believed his version of the truth, would that not make him either an incredibly well - paid custodian of destruction or a spineless jellyfish because what manager worth his weight in salt would stay at a club that didn't give him final say after 20 years of supposed «success»... no matter the answer, neither bodes well for us... how ironic, in a way, since many
pundits claim this team has lacked a «spine» for some years now... so whether we win, lose or draw on Sunday is frankly immaterial,
as the problems will remain, and although it will be easier to digest if we left the Pool with 3 points, it might just be the worst result for the betterment of this club... a fact that both breaks my heart and baffles the mind
Each year opposition team, Fans and
pundits alike say Arsenal will fold up by December, January and February and it happens just
as they predict what now makes us feel it's going to change if we give
Wenger another chance?
After his performance against Hull City yesterday the
pundits on Match of the Day were full of praise for him but they also questioned
Wenger as to why he gets so little game time, especially in that central area.
In all my years watching and supporting Arsenal, I never dreamt of a time like this when fans protest going to new heights, ex-players are angry for a managerial and player change,
pundits who used to look forward working our games have now considered us
as the appetizer to the main course Leciester, rival managers who used to spark battle between
Wenger now feels sorry for him and so on.
The Sky Sports
pundit cited Arsene
Wenger's poor record against Jose Mourinho
as a reason behind why he doesn't believe his former club will return home with a win, while Lawrenson has questioned Mourinho's tactics and believes he'll play for the draw.
It's the fans that keep sacrificing because this team can't get their head out of their own ass... please give me some examples when a top club ever let their best player leave for free at the end of a season...
Wenger needs to go to PSG and get some money and talent for Sanchez so that we can end this nonsense once and for all... then he needs to publicly apologize for the way in which they handled the whole situation... if they allow Sanchez to go for free there is no way this club, under the tutelage of Kroenke and
Wenger, will ever layout the necessary coin to replace such a talented player, especially considering that
Wenger will be a lame - duck manager once again in the final year of his contract and we know how well that went last year... open your eyes people,
Wenger has spoken publicly about how he hopes that the next manager can take this club to the next level... WHAT?!?... he then went on to speak about leaving them in the perfect position to be successful, which is one of the reasons why several
pundits felt
Wenger would leave after last season based on the financials and the fact that so many players had only one year left on their respective contracts... who says this shit??? If you believe you're leaving things in the best possible shape for your potential successor to achieve greatness it raises a couple of serious questions: Why can't you take things to the next level if everything is
as great
as you say?

Wenger's players during his playing days and features

Take a step back and look at the facts again, because Arsene
Wenger seems to be suggesting that we only see this, and the seven years of crashing out of the Champions League before the quarter - final stage,
as failure because we are told
as much by the football
pundits on TV and the journalists in the press.
Former Arsenal striker Thierry Henry was working
as a TV
pundit and at half time he pointed to the decision by Arsene
Wenger to remove Olivier Giroud
as a possible mistake by the manager, so was this a tactical blunder by the Frenchman?
No disrespect to
Wenger but I don't feel he's ruthless enough (maybe his age) and
as pundits have said before everything is just too nice at Arsenal.
