   Poor season… 4th in the league… progressed in the FA Cup and CL against sh*t teams and found out as soon as we met quality opposition.

   What total and utter rubbish.

   Two semi-finals and fourth place in the PL after several players leave and several others are long term injuries is nothing to complain about. In fact, I would say it is the very reason to keep AW. If he can do this with what he has then with two or three additions (I don’t expect a mass exodus in the Summer) we have a squad that is gaining in experience every year and some of the players are becoming very, very good.

   Get a grip on life. Arsenal aren’t going backwards, downwards or any other way negative. They are on the up.

   best manager ever… no one can argue with what his done with these resources… only thing i wish is that he sells adebayor for 30mish and spends that on karim benzema. exactly what we need and henry replacement, a cutting edge, a special player who can do something out of nothing and still very young. who agrees

   Go where? on a holiday???

   United were outclassed by Ac Milan not so long ago in a semi-final. People were also saying that Ferguson had lost the plot when he was signing Kleberson and Taibi – Wenger isn’t doing the same thing but choosing the wrong players.

   Remember how used Arsenal fans were to finishing fourth every year before Wenger….. No, cos it didn’t happen.

   Last night we were beaten by arguably the best team in the world and yes we were well beaten. This article makes some good points but in reality we were beaten by Man Utd’s overdraft. They are about £750 million pounds in debt. Does Ferguson care? Of course not. He is only interested in on-field matters and rightly so in my opinion. Wenger has tried to do it on the cheap and he has done pretty well, but ultimately it is clear that his way aint gonna cut it. We are in a period of football history where several clubs seem capable of outspending us. Some, like Chelsea and Man City have obvious advantages. Spurs, Liverpool and even Villa, less so. I think that we did quite well to get to a CL semi and let’s not forget that we have had far better teams in the past that have not managed to get that far. What worries me is that Wenger doesn’t seem prepared to go that extra mile to buy the 3 or 4 players that could really make a difference. However, i doubt that Kroenke will be so forgiving. He will want to know why we aren’t winning the major trophies and will put a plan in place to see that we are more competitive. i don’t believe he will allow Arsene such total control. When you have a major loss like last night there will always be a watershed-type inquest. But let’s not be too hard on the team because in some peoples eyes, only the CL winners will have had a good season and for every other competing club in Europe it will have been an abject failure.

    Seconded, he can go with adebayor, he wont spend in the summer and he will buy 16 year olds, the team will lose some one the big players and the team will get worser and struggle to make the uefa places.

    WENGER OUT AND FAST!!!

    VAN BASTEN,RANIERI, OR MOURINHO IN EVEN THE AKB LOVERS CAN SEE IT NOW.

    You’re one of those ‘knee-jerk’ fans – a fucking plastic – in fact why don’t you fuck off and support the fucking yids – there’s loads of your type there.

    Jeez listen to this guy bet you jumped on the bandwagon after we won the double. At the end of the Day Wenger seems to be one of the only managers along with Moyes in the Premiership who is working within resources. He hasn’t been stupid and panic bought and in some games his philosophy has been proven. Yes i agree its not been our best season, but its been far from our worse. I don’t think letting Arsene Wenger go would help in the slightest ! I can’t think of anybody who would take over ! Mourinho struggled in his last games at chelsea and look how much he spent ! Ferguson is Utd through and through and Hiddink has made it clear on his position as a club manager. Wenger has made us what we are, he’s raised the bar ! And idiots like you are complaining ! We now have one of the best stadiums in the world. I think its such a fine line between us winning trophies and not ! All we really need 2 or 3 players of experience who can perform consistently in big matches.

    Wenger for life
22. Sebcesc says:
    May 6, 2009 at 3:50 pm

    Let’s be just like Man Utd and spend tens of millions of pounds on every position and be in debt up to our eyeballs. Let’s sack Wenger and have the team disappear for half of what they’re worth because they don’t want to be at Arsenal anymore and we have to sell them. we are then in further transition and have a second rate manager who we sack when we don’t even reach a Europa Place league and pay them a hefty fee for dismissal. They’re can only be one winner in these competitions and yes we are below Man Utd at the moment but with what they’ve spent what you expect. When Wenger goes because he is sick of the abuse he is starting to get from fans like you and Myles Palmer and we are back in mid table obscurity, no midweek Champions League games to look forward to at all and a team falling apart, maybe you will look back and regret what you wished for.
23. Gooner for life says:
    May 6, 2009 at 3:51 pm

    I agree with the squad depth comment but apart from that you need to lay of the white stuff. AW is a fantastic manager and he has transformed this team into a top team in Europe (and we haven’t even won the champions league). He has done it with limited resources and has created a number of star players from nothing. I would love to shout , “BUY SOME F%^&*ING PLAYERS IN THE SUMMER YOU STUBBORN OLD TW@T”, but we recently moved into a new stadium which obviously comes first. Unless you want us to be playing on the street??????

    wat a shitty blog…..wenger should leave…ru out of ur mind…2 semifinals…..fourth in league….after everyone including people like you…said we wont finish fourth…wat do u want from this season….wenger was right judge his team in may…n they have done fantastic job….loss in both the cup was not a team defeat..we were just unlucky thats it….u cant judge wengers tactic with bad result….bcoz we lost in the semi final…we saw wat happened….last night…as soon as the game started we started better…had gibbs not lost his footing…i bet my life on this the outcome of the match would have been different…
    next season i c my team dominating the league n europe..n wenger will buy some good defensive players…

    Don’t be a prick!!!

    With the injuries that we’ve had (with players being loaned out or not) we’ve still managed to achieve 4th place and got to the semi finals in the CL and FA Cup.

    What a lot of people are saying today is that Man U have spent X amount and Chelsea Y amount yet we’ve only spent a fraction and due to this Wenger should leave. Have people forgotten the stadium we have at the moment? We simply haven’t had the funds to pay huge transfer fees (whatever our backroom staff may say).

    Signing Arshavin and the incredible impact he’s had from the moment he started playing for us may go some way to seeing us signing some “experienced” players this close season.

    I agree that things aren’t as good as I’d like them to be, but to start demanding the head of the one person who has seen us into our new stadium and still given us the chance to play at the top level is ridiculous!!!
28. KaP says:

    Arsene has the potential (as previously shown) to win trophies. His decision to bring young players, make them work together, know eachothers game and mindset is great philosophy however it just does not seem to be winning them trophies.

    Its becoming quite common to hear “watch out for next season” but when is this season gonna come? I think the reason some Gooners are calling for Arsene’s head is that he is not keeping up the level that he used to, not winning the trophies. Gooners have taken Champions league football for granted and are asking for trophies which they do not seem to be winning. If Villa came 4th it would be CATASROPHIC for Arsenal and their future, you are lucky Villa dipped and you have cemented 4th (Arsenal have stepped their game up in the PL as well…giving props where props is due)

    I agree with brining in some experience to bolster the squad, Arshavin was an excellent signing. I reckon an experienced CB and DMF along with an out and out goal machine and Arsenal are challenging for top honours. But will this ever happen? We will see this summer. How much do you really trust in Arsene?

    PS: Gibbs is a great talent and still so young…he did make a high profile slip and he must be devasted. But there was maHOOsive pressure on him, a semi-final in the CL at such a young age and a lack of experience.

    Ole Gunner your a geezer.

    Bring in Big Sam?

    Or Arry? He won the FA cup.

    Maybe Avram Grant?

    Fucking Hell, there are only another 5 possible managers in Arsene’s league, and they don’t an an ounce of his integrity.

    When the club told him that the new stadium meant selling players without replacing them, he signed a new contract.

    Any other manger in his league, would have left to build their own legacy, he stayed to build ours.

    He stood by us, now lets stand by him.
30. Gooner Frank says:
    May 6, 2009 at 4:01 pm

    What a joke.

    What you and people like you never manage to do is come up with a single alternative manager. Who would you want to have and who would realistically be willing to come to Arsenal as manager when there is no money to spend?
31. Adam says:
    May 6, 2009 at 4:04 pm

    Obviously, every Arsenal supporter was disappointed by last night’s performance – and while Wenger is not immune to criticism, this is ridiculous.

    By all means, call for Wenger’s head – but tell us who, in your opinion, would do a better job???
32. Ole Gunner says:
    May 6, 2009 at 4:06 pm

    Fraser,

    I do not know one single chairman or board that will fire Wenger. Fire the manager that keeps the club competitive on a shoestring? Fire the manager that has made Arsenal the second most valuable brand in football? Fire the manager that has multiplied shareholder value multiple fold?

    They won’t fire Wenger. Funny thing is that, deep down we all know it. Some of us just feel that ranting about firing him is a way to put pressure on the club.

35. John Brandon says:
    May 6, 2009 at 4:11 pm

    This is the attitude that saw the team let down by the “Fans” who streamed out of Emirated stadium last night. At the start of this season most phophets of doom were writing Arsenal off – they were expected to drop out of the top 4 and would struggle to get beyond the group stage of the CL. Well they exceeded expectations and have done blood well. No they have not won anything and if this is the only measure of success then they have indeed failed along with 17 or so other premiership clubs. Is all well – no, there are obvious areas where improvement can be achieved and hopefully this will happen, after all what has been achieved this season has exceeded expectations when we think back. Hopeless players like Bentner and Song have matured into decent squad players. The sqaud is too small and is dangerously skewed towards youth. With the number of games being played (both club and country) a bigger squad is needed to cope with the near guarantee of injuries. These have to be experienced heads and preferably defensive brutes. Hope spings eternal and trophies will come.
36. Donjohnni says:
    May 6, 2009 at 4:17 pm

    This is all lunacy. Why do you think Wenger should go? The standards you have are the ones Wenger made. He gave you that stadium. He gave you Henry et al. We were lucky to even get here. Semi finals of champs league, you can’t predict. Mourinho went out before us. You can’t say sack someone because they only got to semis, that’s Real Madrid style and look at them now. What a joke.

    Without Wenger there is no one else who could save us with our debt. It’s OK. He bought Arshavin. He will buy some bigger players now he knows it he ain’t dumb.

    Chin up lads!

    We were always gonna lose that second leg!
37. Berkempt says:
    May 6, 2009 at 4:21 pm

    Lucky to get to the semis as we played an awfull team in the 1/4 finals.

    Man U, Chelski, Liverpool along with Man City and an improving Villa and Spurs will see us to struggle to keep in 4th.

    Arsene Wenger must go.

    cunt cunt cunt cunt your a stupid cunt.
    also i would like to say that arsene is an intelligent man who knows more about arsenal and football than you will ever know and will address any problems between now and the beginning of next season.
    Last night we were unlucky…(hear me out) because before gibbs slipped and ronaldo was awarded a penalty that wasn’t we were on top playing well. If utd hadnt been gifted 2 goals i think that we could have been 1 up at half time and who knows, maybe gone non to win it. Playing against a team as good as united when they have 10 men behind the ball is virtually impossible. Put it into context. All those cunts who said we’d lose 4th spot to villa and maybe not even finish in top 6 are the same people calling the fact that we have easily secured fourth and got to two semi finals unnacceptable. We don’t have a right to success, nobody does but we are going about it in the best way possible…but like i said arsene will sort it.
39. ah says:
    May 6, 2009 at 4:25 pm

    wenger works with what he is given ( & never moans in public), for the last 4 years or so this has clearly not been sufficient to do anything else but keep us competitive. top 4 each year, 2 finals & 3 semi’s.
    any other club bar the top 4 would kill for that, but the arse, rightly, expect & demand more.
    well the club is changing, gazidis will make a difference, & if wenger is encouraged to spend & manage differently then he will & i believe he can build another fantastic, balanced team that will be the best of the lot!
    for that reason I would say we need to be patient.
    we call ourselves ‘supporters’, we should start supporting.

    In a nutshell AW’s game plan has been nullfied by the red cunt.The AW pass and pass can be easily neutralized because it needs time and space.It’s one dimensional and no plan b. The red cunt’s game plan was executed to perfection.
    You can see the gunners trying to weave intricate patterns in the mU box.Once the attack breaks down its the cue for the bulldog to break away.Simple and deadly. Problem is AW insists on passing all day and no variation. Therein lies the problem.
    Oh yes he likes to sign wc kids at 16 or better still at 9.Whta happens if they don’t turn out to be the finished product?It will be time wasted.
    I read that the gunners are linked with another outsatnding Genoa starlet. Heaven forbid AW to follow up.
    We will have to wait till summer to know which direction the gunners are heading.
43. Wrighton says:
    May 6, 2009 at 4:29 pm

    Agree that Man City will be stronger their transfer budget is going to £100M+ and with that sort of backing you can them rule them out.

    If we keep Wenger and finnish 5th or 6th next year you Wenger loyalists will be the first to turn on him,I say let get go now with head held high.

    Arsene Wenger must go and you lot are blind to the truth.

    Ferguson and Wenger were inches apart but heading in opposite directions – one pondering fresh possibilities to make history and the other starting a critical period of soul-searching.

    Manchester United brushed Arsenal aside with a savagery, speed and ruthlessness that had plenty of observers at the Emirates labelling it as this sport’s equivalent of Manny Pacquiao’s demolition of Ricky Hatton.

    Wenger was dealing with the fact/pain of four years without a trophy and the problem of how to bridge the gaping chasm between the top three clubs.

    The scale of this defeat was etched on the lines of Wenger’s face as he attempted to come to terms with the blow he and Arsenal had just suffered in the aftermath of what will be be a pivotal night for the club.

    Wenger promised us that we would see “a magnificent performance”. They saw one all right – but they saw it from Manchester United.

    Stop crying like a feckin baby and keep your pathetic thoughts to yourself….If you think anyone else can do better with a lack of money, compared to other clubs in the top four,then your dreaming.Ive seen Arsenal teams managed by Terry Neill,Don Howe,Bruce Rioch and Stewart Houston(now they were fckin terrible!) and although George was successful,we were slated daily in the media for the type of football we played.So bite your tongue,grit your teeth and i think that this team with just a couple of additions,will be a winning team!!!
