Im worried that most of our best players will leave

Im worried that we won't be able to challenge for the title after he goes

Im worried about us dropping out of the top four

Im worried that no other manager will even want to come here, and that if he does, no decent player would want to come anyway

Im worried about attendances dropping and how that might affect finances and the atmosphere at home mstches

Lol I'm not worried at all. Every game when AW does something completely inexplicable with our lineup it's a reminder of just how little the next manager will have to do to improve this team

No he shouldn't. He's been exiled because he decided to go rub his dick on a taxi in Copenhagen. He should never play another game in an Arsenal shirt I don't think he will at this point.

That said you simply can't take away the early years ... credit where massive credit is due .... but after that .....

What pisses me off is morons who say 'Wonger built the Emirates' it's just bollocks .... outline planning was first sought for redevelopment at Highbury in 1991 that's feckin' five years before Wonger was even on the scene ... David Dien was always the driving force behind our move not feckin' Wonger ... Wonger managed our club during the transition, he bought, coached, selected a team that between 2005/6 and 2010/11 cost the third highest amount on salaries in the EPL .... only Chelsea and Utd spent more in those six years ... yet the manager with the 3rd highest wages budget in the EPL only managed to finish 3rd twice and 4th four times .... big feckin' deal .... please explain what the feck is so special about 'struggling' with the third highest budget yet never finishing above third? where's the struggle in that?

Since 2010/11 first City hit the jackpot, and now Liverpool are spending big, but Wonger still had the 4th highest wages budget going into this season yet he's only managed 6th .... feck in the last ten years Wonger spent 600 million more on salaries than the Spuds ... that's the cost of their new ground right there ... so are we 800m better off on the pitch? have we got the points to show for that money? .... nope we've just had our worst finish compared to the Spuds in over a quarter of a century ....

So credit for the 'early years' but a feckin' great boot out the door for the last ten ..... merci now feck off .....

Still love the 3 FA Cups in recent seasons


Also not sure Wenger sets the wages but even if he did they were just overpaid, he still did well with the crappy players at his disposal (which he also bought and played yes). 3rd in wage bill means f**k all if you're paying teenage Jack Wilshere 60k pw.

And it was our strategy - to overpay the kids so that they stuck to Arsenal for as long as they did.

Until 2013, Wenger had a net spend of £20m. Puts everything in perspective.

The second half of Wenger's time at Arsenal will (rightfully) be defined by our declining status as Premier League champions and contenders to a club fighting to make the top four season by season, but I hope and believe winning 3 FA Cups in such a short amount of time will seem increasingly impressive as time goes on. Any other club in the country would love to have that record (bar Chelsea who did it too in the mid-noughties), and our failures in the league and in Europe shouldn't detract from Wenger's achievement of winning as many FA Cups as he did.

But hey let's celebrate because we won feck all but at least no one managed to achieve something we did a generation ago .... whooopeeeee feckin' doooooooo ..... :BangHead: :BangHead: :BangHead: :BangHead: :BangHead:

Off the top of my head -

Milan (Cafu)
Juventus (Alves)
PSG (Alves)
Barcelona (Thuram)

All of these right backs were in their mid-thirties when title-challenging sides brought them in to become first team regulars.
