In Arsène We Trust ~ Victoria Concordia Crescit

It’s true

Southgate is a woeful tactician and has some of the worst in game management I’ve ever seen at the top level

Luckily he had his set pieces on point as we created nothing going forward and we’re dreadful in an attacking sense

I completley agree! When he brought off Henderson for Dier rather than Loftus Cheek it was apparent.

Wenger was sacked by Arsenal, claims Wilshere

Arsene Wenger was sacked by Arsenal last season and none of the players saw it coming, according to former Gunners midfielder Jack Wilshere.

It was announced on April 20 that Wenger would be leaving the club after 20 years as manager, with the 68-year-old stating he felt the time was right to step down.

Wilshere's own future was the subject of much speculation last season before he decided to sign for West Ham on a free transfer last month.

But the England international has suggested he could have stayed at Arsenal had Wenger not departed, which he claims was not his old manager's own decision.

"I was in the last year of my contract, and I spoke with the manager at the time, Arsene Wenger, and he said that they won't be offering me a new deal and that I could leave," Wilshere told BBC Sport.

"But at the time I was injured, and it was difficult, because I wasn't fit and I wasn't playing, and not many teams wanted me injured.

"So, I decided to stay and I got back into the team and they finally offered me a deal in January which was ready to sign, and then Arsene got sacked.

"It was strange, everyone was just shocked and Per Mertesacker, the captain, said a few words, and I think everyone was just in shock.

"It was strange. No-one really saw it coming, but it changed everything."

Wilshere praised Wenger's successor Unai Emery for his honesty about his chances of first-team football at the club.

"I wanted to wait to speak to the new manager. And I did, and he was brilliant, he was honest with me," said Wilshere.

"He said 'you can stay, but you won't be in my starting XI', so I thought it was the right time to finally leave."

Aside from the Wilshere contract stuff, nothing new there. Was always obvious he was sacked, and it was clear Emery didn't think Wilshere was a first XI player (otherwise we wouldn't have let him go)

Don’t really buy the bit where they didn’t see it coming, did he injure his eyes as well?

Tbf I think the players thought Arsene was going to see out his whole term, so to them he was there for another season at least, I don't see any reason to think that wasn't the case.

No one saw it coming lol.....

I miss the days when top four was guaranteed. Who knows where we’ll finish this season.

This Club is doomed to ransom and it turns out that Arsene was the last stand
against the Fall .

It was never guaranteed, and this is how it was the last two seasons.

Was that after we lost 2-0 at home to city in 12/13 or when we lost 2-1 at Chelsea in 12/13 ?

I am sure, in fact positive we finished 6th and failed to win the "mickey mouse" cup that people proclaim the Europa is.
