nice
to see you crawl out of your hole just in time
to offer your 2 cents worth once again... unlike yourself I started following this team long before Wenger arrived on the scene and will continue
to do so long after he's
gone... in his earlier years I admired the cerebral elements he brought
to the EPL, which at that point was more brutish than beautiful, and I respected the seemingly tireless efforts of Arsene, Dein & staff
to uncover and develop talent without sacrificing the product on the field... likewise I appreciated that such a youthful manager wasn't afraid
to bring strong personalities and / or world - class players into the fold without being fearful of how said players would potentially undermine and / or dilute his authority... unfortunately this all changed about 10 years ago and culminated in the removal of all our greatest players, both young and old, without any real replacements coming in... from Henry
to RVP
to Fabergas and Nasri, it was easy
to see that this
club was no longer interested in competing at the highest levels... instead of being honest, minus the ridiculous claims regarding the new
stadium, Wenger chose
to side with management and in doing so became the «front man» for this corporation pretending
to be a world - class soccer
club... without the «front man» this organization would have been exposed numerous years earlier, so his presence was imperative if the facade was
to continue... it's for this reason and more that I despise what this once great man and Kroenke has done
to my beloved
club... the gutless, shameful and manipulative way they have treated the fans, like myself, is largely indefensible and this is why I felt it necessary
to start offering my opinion in a public format... trust me, I resisted the temptation for many years but as long as the same shit continues
to exist I will voice my opinions and if you don't like it maybe you should look for a different team
to pretend
to follow
Well if we failed we won't have won a trophy last season (FA cup would be used
to blood youngsters), we won't have players like Alexis and Ozil come into the
club, and we definitely would not be able
to keep players like Cazorla, Walcott and Ramsey because we would probably be playing Europa league (or even not been in Europe) and still have probably 5 more years
to go in paying of the
stadium because we are not getting enough money into the
club (no Champions league).
or simply trying
to prove us all wrong again by showing that he could play just about anybody anywhere and win a game on the road against a top opponent; something he hasn't done in quite some time... regardless of the reasons, there is simply no excuse for the
goings - on at this
club... unfortunately it's unlikely that any real change will come without a dedicated effort on the part of those that feed the beast... our absentee landlord doesn't invest his own money into this
club, so in order
to force out Kroenke, Wenger and whatever other vermin currently haunt our hallowed halls we need
to hit him where it really hurts... continually filling «his»
stadium and the constant buying of endless merchandise, like one of the 58 different jerseys available over the last few years, makes us the greatest enablers of all time... have we no self - respect?
I don't know what is so difficult in convincing a player and putting up the cash
to meet the proper valuation unless your not willing
to... 1) We're in one of the great football city in Europe 2) We're one of the top
clubs in London and arguably play the most beautiful football 3) We have loads of cash and true not all of it is for transfers but with the new tv deal, our on
going & new commercial deals we have more money than most 4) We have players such as Ozil, Sanchez, Bellerin» Ramsey & Cech I mean if I'm a player it would be a pretty attractive prospect 5) We have a great
stadium

During the glory years, Arsenal fans had become spoilt and with the new
stadium to be paid for and the new oil rich

went back the more it became obvious why; the fans were divided.

The only one I am yet
to read is perhaps that which questions Wenger why he opted
to build the
stadium instead of keeping the money

go to the many
clubs which wanted him and where he could have won lots of trophies!
A
club that was supposed
to compete with the likes of Bayern Munich — statement of
club's CEO, has zero top players in a season when the
stadium debt is long
gone.
Don't you think it has something
to do with Wengers management of transfers in and out, all the while overseeing the building of, and paying for the new
stadium and facilities the

going to be a struggle

stadium he won't have sold the

to consider their options
It s true he did a good job helping the
club going throug the stage of changing
stadium and keeping them at the near top but the period of not being competitive has lasted too long, Arsenal don t seem
to progress no more with him, let the supporters fight
to get back their
clubs from those at the command who don t really care about it.
Are some of you on here missing a few brain cells as fans There is nothing Arsenal or Wenger can do with the Sanchez situation He wants
to leave and has been offered 400k a week in wages who in their right mind is
going to turn that down as a player As for blaming wenger who has been our most successful manager helped us build a
stadium gave us 20 years of cl football and some of the best teams the ol has seen Including the invincible and you all have the Gaul
to trash the man as if he has done nothing for the
club I suggest you should look at the plastic fans in the Arsenal blogs that have created a toxic atmosphere at the
club They attack their own players in a daily basis why would any top player come
to s
club where the manager the owners and players are shamelessly attached constantly Yet Wenger wins trophies regularly even them that is derided Look at Spurs Liverpool they win fuk all every year yet their fans back then Look at yourselves and all the negativity that you have created striking the
club before you blame Wenger for everything I have been a season ticket holder since the 70s and never have I seen our fanbase been so full of entitled morons who have stopped backing the
club and constantly deride the
club snd attack it We have the worst fanbase in football you have made this great
club a lagging stock in world football All you now us fans constantly moaning If you don't like Arsenal fc then buy out kronke and run the
club or fuk off and support someone else You won't be missed Coyg
Jenssen youngsters are ok at home but

DEAR PHIL Let me tell you something: i read carefully what you say, you JON FOX and KEN 1945 since you are our «elder brothers», attending since the sixties (even if you, PHIL, are quit abusive with me, sometimes) therefore i respond
to your enquiries: 1 - I believe we» r not progreessing but it's essentially due
to the finincial restriction and the spending power of our oppenents (even if Wenger is RESPOSIBLE partly with his dogmatic conception of economics) 2 -
Going second
to sixth is not of course what we could: should achieve but it been explained by my first answer 3 - I give attention
to my fellow arsenal fans, like you, what they are thinking, not
to the oppenents (most of the PL
clubs fans would give their lives
to have a manager with the same success as Wenger over two decades, the first of dominating and the second of re-building the
club after the
stadium building) Now i am not against another manager if he can do better than the one we have but you must, my friend, respect him for what he has done.....
i repeat I want Wenger
gone, the sooner the better but I will never.lose sight of the fact that the incoming manager will have a cushy job
to come into... a
club with a spanking new
stadium, modern state of the art facilities, a healthy bank balance, a squad just 3/4 players short of been world beaters and a global brand....
@ Lockay, most of your articles are spot on, this site is the place of the illuminated, those who understand what is
going on, the supporters who
go to the
stadium should stop for a while until we have an answer from the board about the way the
club is lead.Wenger must be shown pressure
to deliver or the risk
to be sacked, only under this condition should be allowed
to continue.

Well YES and NO now we have the FFP in place so it's even again in fact we should come on top becouse we have

It's even more upsetting because I think our away support is one of the best in the league, I think that creating a standing section might give true gunners a better chance

stadium we produce such a quiet and unintimidating atmosphere

going to leave before half - time so that they can get back

to be a stern test for Arsenal.
