How can I believe that when I saw Arsenal’s 70/71 side and our 2001/02 side bettered?
Global franchise
What does that mean?
Only one Arsenal
The one that wenger arrived at was only behind Liverpool as the most decorated club in the country
We were on the map globally
From my first days of going it was always in the programme how we were welcoming such and such fanclub from somewhere in the world.
Arsenal was wenger?
What an insult to you,I & anyone that ever had a care for this club
Wenger was a great chapter of this club’s history but unlike us was paid to do so
I don’t doubt his affection but I believe his desire to do everything rather than delegate well ended up very damaging
In fact his nose was put out of joint when he had keown helping defence wise during our run to the champions league final and he was jettisoned
Are people unequivocally backing Arteta?
Of course 10th is not good enough but does not moaning about every aspect of the club mean you are happy with his management?
To say Wenger never complained is a joke
His excuse mongery regarding tiredness, refereeing, pitches engendered an excuse culture at the club that meant 4th became a trophy and good enough
Never was this more realised than after the Eduardo injury he spoke of how 4 points clear at the top Arsenal were not going to be able to be lifted as they were very down
Not
“ we got a point on a difficult day, we go again”
I wanted Wenger gone because he had seen what he had now and it was never going to be good enough again.
Just participating is not good enough
We should be competing to win and setting up sides in the best way to do so
Was that losing leads at Chelsea and United in that 07/08 season plus the champions league at Liverpool?
A naivety that continued in games like Monaco
A pragmatist learns from mistakes
He refused to and I believe later was unable to
If wenger wanted more ambition from the Board why didn’t he quit?
He was as comfortable taking the shilling as the board were in getting the champions league money.
Not good enough for a fan who wants us trying to win the lot
The Neutrals like watching us play
Arghh that’s nice......
Couldn’t give a f**k what the neutrals think
We are in the business of. Winning trophies
If we do it playing well that’s a bonus
But winning is everything
Wenger had a fantastic team in the Champions league and failed to utelise it properly
Messi and Ronaldo?
Utter puffery thrown out as spin
Pay and players will come and play
At a great club in a major city in the world
They didn’t
We didn’t
Tell us less show us more
Wenger still gets mentioned because as sure as eggs are eggs( happy Easter by the way) the careful what you wish for brigade would always harp back to him.
I wanted better
Still do
Always will
