Time for Wenger to do the right thing and quit..

its time for Wenger to do the right thing and walk away from Arsenal.

This is not a knee jerk reaction to our disgraceful show today, as most of the regular visitors to the forum and blog will know I have been saying that Wenger needs to go for a long time.

After the Deja Vu show by an almost full strength (RVP) Arsenal side vs a Man Utd team without Ferdinhand and Vidic, it was like the “MEN vs BOYS” champions legaue semi final at home last sesaon. What has changed since then? Well Ronaldo was sold and we all hoped that the “one man team” Man Utd would now be weaker. Well they are, But the problem is for us is that we are still lightyears away from Man Utd.

Our problems?

Like i have been saying for 2 seasons, Almunia is not good enough. How many times has this clown let us down in key games? But yet Wenger stands by him?

Denilson is not good enough, Some of you may ask why?… Well watch the Man Utd 2nd goal scored today. Just watch Denilson tracking back.

Up front we are missing a striker, But yet Wenger (who has had since the summer and cashing in on Adebayor) to address this is still faffing about.

I said last week that “Wenger LIE to the Arsenal fans AGAIN” and was slagged off by many of you for coming out and doubting Wenger?

Wenger and Arsenal had a fantastic chance of winning the league this season. All Wenger needed to do was invest some of that £30m on 2 players. A centre mid and a striker, Like many of us have been calling out for a very long time. Instead Wenger signs a 35 year old on a free as cover. That for me showed his ambition.

Some of you who come on this blog or the forum to have a good at me are just lying to yourself. I’m not the problem and i am not alone when i say that the problem is Wenger and his stubborn, arrogant ways.

He treats the FA cup with utter disrespect, a cup we had a very good chance of winning this season.

Let’s face it, wenger has said one thing and done something different for years.

You have to ask why?

Do you see other top managers doing this? No

wenger is nothing more then a stubborn lunatic, he says one thing on Monday n come Friday he says something totaly different. It’s almost like he is 2 different people.

Wenger is either very clever or just mental.

Like I have said a few times, the reason I feel he comes out and says he wants to sign players to the press is to get the best out of his players. But there are other ways of doing this.

Your new 4-5-1/ 4-3-3 tactics are not working. You lack of signings are key to all the problems we have.

What pisses me off is that we keep falling for this trick.

At the end of the season wenger will say the following ” I have identify the problems and I will be working hard in the summer to bring in 2 big players”

a few weeks after that wenger will say I have money to spend and I will do this if the right player comes along.

Then it will be ” we are looking at some players, but are not close at the moment to signing anybody”

then it will be ” I will only sign players, if I sell to replace them”

then 2 players will be sold.

Wenger will then say, the players coming back from injury will be like our new signing.

And then wenger will say.. I’m. Not going to sign anybody as it will kill the kids..

And then comes the end of the transfer window, And just as the transfer window shuts our chances of winning the league shut at the same time.

This has been going on for years now, I know that the board are never going to sack wenger so for me the man has to do the right thing and walk away.

Thanks Arsene for everything you have done but you can NOT take this team on anymore.

We need a fresh look at Arsenal because this in not working.

sack wenger…he just know how to play beautiful n weak..just make him as coach n scout..get someone like Pep Guardiola who know how to play beautifull n strong…another humanlation….

Thats hurt, Please get rid of Almunia and buy a world class striker, AW please wake-up.
Matt says:

January 31, 2010 at 6:40 pm

I’m not sure he should go, but I agree with the points made. He can’t spot a good keeper, denilson is average, nasri looks a bad buy, Walcott poor, bendtner has never done anything so to think he is the answer is a huge error in judgement. I am actually starting to think a kroenke takeover might be the answer and let’s see if arsene is kept on

January 31, 2010 at 6:40 pm

Proved right again-wegner should f/of for all his lies and inaction on buying–lowest I have ever seen the team-almost as low as DENILSON–who should never play again.
Rabie says:

January 31, 2010 at 6:41 pm

you are an idiot my friend. There is limits to how much we can spends. We have loans to pay back and money cannot just be thrown away. With Man city welling to pay 30 million to any good player out there, we just cant compete in the transfer market.

This was a very bad game. Fabregas surprised me in a bad way.

Denilson was utter shit.

And Almunia has to go.

LETS PRAY we sign someone now that Wenger has seen this game.

calm down mate, have a cup of tea or something. the next two games will tell us everything we need to know about this arsenal team. almunia and denilson are our players so lets support them. if i see manual, i will break his leg and do time so that we can buy a new keeper but for now lets support the team son. i did not even realise denilson was on the pitch half the game

The problem is we don’t have David Dein. He was the secret weapon who steered Wenger to success. Wenger is a coach and Dein was a managing director of the highest order. Maybe id Silent Stan takes over he will bring DD back. Now that will be a good thing.

Richard says:

January 31, 2010 at 6:49 pm

I may be a bit biased being a huge Wenger fan, due to the manner in which he has transformed Arsenal, not only in our style of play, but facilities, stadium and potential. Put simply, if wenger was too leave I could only see this having a hugely detrimental effect on us.

Say Wenger left tomorrow, straight away the futures of Fabregas, Gallas and probably other members of the French contingent would be very much in doubt. In fact I would go as far to say, that Fabregas would leave.

I think you have to be objective about these things (which can hurt, as a passionate fan, especially after a bad defeat) but Arsenal are competing in this league, as the only top four club who operate on the basis of self sufficiency. Whilst this may hurt us in the short term, the long term prospects for the club cannot be denied and lets face it we are only one or two players away from being table toppers.

It will come, but you cannot do this too quickly, potentially hurting the long term future in the process. I for one would far rather see Arsenal being run professionally and spending prudently on the right players, then jumping on the band wagon, buying players (for little other reason than they are available) who in all probability are not the right players for Arsenal……

how can you decide to go into a game against united without a striker ??? Jesus you have to have a plan b !! Ferguson puts wenger to shame. He deliberately weakens united and still ends up giving us the run around. And those of you with the BE PATIENT line, COP ON its five years later and not improving you idiots
benny says:

January 31, 2010 at 7:00 pm

That’s why I didnt sign anyone this term????
It’s time to see and to read more supoters comments, mr Wenger. I am a one of them, but last three games I am very frustrated. Lets talk the truth. We are short in players, we need a goalkeeper, a left midfielder and a striker. He speaks for Bentdner, if he was the Rooney or Drogba class. PLease mr Wenger, STOP saving clubs money, for god sake. Please mr Wenger STOP playing with us, its very hard for us suporters. I agree with some here about denilson and Almunia, they must replaced. And please can someone find me a goalkeeper who scored more than ours, I mean owngoals!!!!!!
liam says:

January 31, 2010 at 7:00 pm

Go fuck off to white hart lane where your comments will be approved of. Same goes to the thousands of people that left ashburton grove before the final whistle, Arsenal doesn’t need glory hunters like you load of pricks. The fans were the biggest disgrace of the night joint with Denilson for even stepping out on the pitch. Even walcott looked better than him in his shite form.

motherfuckerDENILSON says:

January 31, 2010 at 7:03 pm

MU second goal was due DENILSON unwillingly to track back. During Stoke game he did the same time too, never paced their winger and led to our second goal. DENILSON IS THE WORST EVER PLAYER I HAVE SEEN PLAYING FOR ARSENAL. GET THE FUCK OFF DENILSON!!

January 31, 2010 at 7:20 pm

so liam, your ambiton is to follow a nearly football club, with loads of money, but a team that is never quiet good enough. Its about ambition mate. I follow this club for the full 90 mins and beyond of every game. Thts not the point though. The reality is this club needs success to survive at the top. I live in this place called reality.
goonergerry says:

January 31, 2010 at 7:22 pm

The whole world knows what many have suspected- this team playing this way cannot get close to beating Chelsea and Man U-if Wenger does nothing-his natural tendency, then we know nothing will change. We have a whole team either carrying or playing with an injury. Yes we were outclassed- by United again, who mentally and physically fitter, stronger players-playing in a more effective team pattern. Let them believe their own bullshit. Over confidence will be their undoing. United are not Barcelona or for that matter Chelsea-Even with the injuries, this Arsenal team has got to be able to defend more effectively than this. We have to put this right. Fixing the defence is the priority.
Pritpal says:

January 31, 2010 at 7:26 pm

too harsh in my opinion. the right thing is buy! everyone is saying there is 30m and dzeko is 30m so buy! the fact is that the tactics were right but the players were poor especially arshavin. we need a finisher! but the truth is something has to be done, look at when chelsea were thrashed by united they got in hiddink, we on the other hand just need a striker!
Tommy says:

Van the man says:

January 31, 2010 at 7:29 pm

I agree with the people that say wenger should quit and all the people who say wenger should stay are judging him on past achievements and thats unfair, what matters is here and now, u dont need 2 be a scientist 2 realise that Denilson, Almunia are not gud enough and that the team needs a striker bt our great manager has done nothing to sort this out and when it matters most arsenal will fall apart. do u realise hw a player like fabregas is feelin, he knws he wont win anything with arsenal coz some of his team mates r just nt gud enough, it was important 4 arsenal b4 they began this run of 4 games that they started on a winning streak bt guess what wenger did he played a weak team in the FA cup and we lost fastfoward, we hv nt won the next 2 games after that and its chelsea next, hw can u not buy a striker bcoz bendtner is nw available bt he has never been ap prolific goalscorer so hw u put all ur hopes of winning a title on bendtner? and i dont buy it that there are no better strikers than the one’s we hv thats if we hv any gud strikers which i doubt, the people who dont want wenger out r losers bcoz 2 them arsenal resembles their lives they dont get anything and they never achieve anything in their lives so they dont c anything wrong with the club, this is business wenger is nt delivering so he has 2 go.
Big Merv says:

January 31, 2010 at 7:29 pm

Almunia is weaker than a ladies fart, lets start one by one and not be too hastey, all the shit cannot go at once else it will leave us with a team of boy scouts. i will always support my beloved Arsenal but i am growing very frustrated at AW’s continuous smoke screens. Confidence comes from the back and we can build on that, Almunia thanks but no thanks you need to stop fucking up our club.
dano says:

January 31, 2010 at 7:32 pm

that was nothing more than an average united team today, bar rooney of course. On paper we had the stronger team. I blame wenger today because he could no adapt. He kept a passing game into a croweded midfield. Started with no recognised striker, waited till 3-0 down to make a change. You can blame the players so much but to me that is very inept management. Denilson has being very poor recently, Almunia too, but you cant blame them for the fact that wenger keeps playing them or cant offer a better alternative.
Pistolpete says:

January 31, 2010 at 7:35 pm

Almunia – he has to be replaced. Everytime a ball comes over form a cross i shudder in my boots.

I cannot believe so many of you and this blog are takling about AW quitting…complete joke!
I bet when we were winning you guys were all cheering along saying AW is good etc……what a complete load of rubbish!

United in case a lot of you forgot…are in HUGE DEBT…their stadium and training ground may even be sold to pay off their debt….that’s what happens when you keep spending rubbish amounts on players!

So quick to rush on the bandwagon about AW getting sacked! Players can have poor games too and tactics were poor today…its not like Ferguson has won every game this season!
TGIFabregas says:

January 31, 2010 at 7:50 pm

Rinsing – Arsene has been an amazing manager for Arsenal and I love the man for everything he has achieved for the club and supporters. But having been single-handedly responsible for transforming the team from Hilliers and Morrows to Henrys and Bergkamps (who, was actually a Rioch signing, but I take your point), he is now equally single-handedly responsible for transforming us from Henrys and Bergkamps to Almunias, Eboues, Denilsons and Velas. As happens with almost any industry or nation, a time comes when no matter how much good you’ve done, a leader needs to be changed for the company/nation/team to move forward.

I want to remember Wenger for the amazing team he transformed us into at the turn of this century, for the amazing counter-attacking football, for the world-beating one-touch football we were capable of playing, not for the man who transformed us back to a point where we have to look up not down to see our closest rivals
fatgooner says:

January 31, 2010 at 8:09 pm

whoever writes this shit knows nothing of football or arsenal.

It fuckin hurts big time to lose today, but getin rid of aw wont change anything.

Firstly, on the game itself, we created loads of chances but were not clinical n the final ball was lacking. Man u finished the majority of the chances they had n there tactics were spot on. As for almunia getin slated, i agree fully that we need a new keeper, but to blame him 4 the goal today is idiotic. Nani went past 3 players with ease (dont hear them getin abuse) and if almunia doesnt touch the cross then park has a tap in. Denilson was very poor today n isnt anything more than a squad player, but if diaby was fit he wudve started.

When it comes to AW, well you are very very wrong. He brought us everything that Arsenal represents today. Before him we were a boring mid table side with no class. All the fans on here have been spoilt with the success hes brought us and think that we should be winning trophies every year. What they forget is that we have had to move stadiums recently and to win trophies with no money is nearly impossible in this day and age. If it wasnt for AWs eye for talent then we wud probs be strugglin to stay in this league. People keep bleatin on about signing big players and this being the answer to everything, but how many of the quality players we have had during the AW era were big money signings? Anyone heard of Vieira, Petit, Van Persie, Fabregas, Clichy, Sagna, Gilberto, A.Cole, Lauren, Diaby etc etc etc! How many of these were big money signings?
This young Arsenal side is going to dominate football for a long time if people are patient and understand that the football has to go hand in hand with the financial side of the club. Teams like man u, man city, chelsea etc are going to spiral out of control just like leeds if they arent careful.

I just hope the club n the majority of fans keep the faith.
BigL says:

January 31, 2010 at 8:24 pm

Typical Wenger really, on one hand he tells us that there are dozens of players who want to join us but come transfer window we sign no one except a 35 year old despite every man and his dog saying we need to strengthen. Even more typical of Wenger he’ll attempt to appease the fans by drop names of players that he wanted to sign, Villa this time, but of course we have been ‘closely linked’ with Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Ivanovic etc in previous windows only narrowly missing out. According to Wenger at least.

Wenger is not a manager that will sign big name players full stop, so forget saying Wenger please sign xyz because he wont. He is to stubborn and more interested in proving that you can win something with youth. Kind a mute point now with Campbell and Silvestre on board.

Other than the die hard Wenger fanatics there really can’t have been that many people who thought we would win today or have any chance left of winning the league. The same goes for the champions league. Over 2 legs against a team like Real Madrid I would dread to think what the aggregate score would be.

This season is yet another right off, the best we can hope for is a top 4 finish which over the last few years has been the limit of our ambition.

Brian Clough took over from Nottingham Forest when they were 13th in the league. He helped them get promoted, win the European cup, took them on an unbeaten run before eventually getting them relegated. While he was Forests best manager he out stayed his welcome. So before history repeats itself Wenger should either leave Arsenal or go manage the youth team. Pep from Barca would be a good choice. As for not being available. Money talks.

And before you AKB come back with your standard ‘go support the spuds’ dribble, take your head our your arses and take a sniff of life in the real world. We’ll never win anything as long as he remains at Arsenal!

January 31, 2010 at 9:12 pm

We have what might be called polarised opinions!We have a real quandary.I never like to agree with the old excuse fir sacking managers that “he has taken thgis team as far as he can” but I think it might apply to Wenger,The point is that he has taken us an extraordinary distance and the club will be forever grateful to him for changing our expectations and giving us so much past glory.
But the inescapable feeling now is he is tactically naive with no real idea of defensive organisation and a thrilling but one-dimensional approach to attacking play.when we fail like today we look like a team of lightweight midgets ,lacking in application,spirit and big-match nous.Wenger has an inability to buy big-name players as much as an unwillingness to do so.He seems only ever to focus on three years hence and we therefore always lose out in the here and now.

But only a very big man will replace him or could do so and only a handful of those exist in the world.While he delivers a profit and a Champions League place our unambitious Board will never change him. So Sinbad you are never likely to get your wish.
Fredwest says:

January 31, 2010 at 10:56 pm

Sinbad, spot on again mate. And credit to you for sticking to ur guns and being consistant with ur views unlike most arsenal sites.

For all the fans who want wenger to stay I ask you this. What was wenger done in the last 5 years? He had won nothing. Changed our style from a 442 to a joke 433 / 451

Sold players without replacing them and stuck with players like almunia and silvestre.

Sorry but the man had to go.

No one else to be blamed except for wenger who missed the chances of signing players like Chamakh and Smalling, and now we got not cover players for the injured ones, the only option is to field lousy players like Denilson.

I have never seen a more arogant person in my life.
To all the wenger fans We have had enough of you unqualified support for this air head. We wait for his moaning and complaints after every match. The man has gone way past his expiry date. I hate those that put Wenger before the club. I for one choose the club over this arrongant overhyped old man. I have had about enough of watching these secnd rate kids. Arsenal board must give us some truth as we are not getting any truth what so ever from the manager.
Lady Arsenal says:

February 1, 2010 at 6:36 am

Why do you write this with such unmasked glee, even reminding us that you’ve seen it all along? I mean, given that you can’t wait after every bad result to use it as decisive evidence of your master theory, I ask you this question:

Are you even happy when this team wins?

How can you, when you take such intellectual satisfaction in being so categorically proven right, ever enjoy being proven wrong? At the point at which the importance of your ego overtakes the importance of the collective good of Arsenal FC and its fans, then I think you quite possibly are no longer an Arsenal fan. In which case, why do you spend time commenting on Arsenal, and why am I reading the comments of just some guy looking on from outside?

Bugger me if I know.

And forgive me, is ‘arsenal action’ an ironic name? seen as you stop at basically sitting at a computer writing opinions which after 24 or so hours are eternally lost in a mass of pointless waste. Or does it include talking to your mates over a pint about this mastery of prophecy which you hold so proudly?

Arsene, if, by some infintessimally improbable act of random key hitting, you are reading this, please don’t leave the club. The real fans (those of us who still want us to win games) love you. There’s only one Arsene Wenger.
Vish says:

February 1, 2010 at 7:10 am

We have again lost an important match and the title hopes once again look to diminish.We play well with the team which are not to physical.But when it comes to the hard tackling midfield apponents, most of the time our players are on the ground picking themselves up.No one in the midfield or upfront is strong enough to hold the ball and spread it to wide players.We always depend to much on Fabregas to create something for us.Arsene wenger has build a very creative team but without the strong pillars surrounding it,like Patrick viera.We need some one who can rule the midfield and Cesc can play his game without thinking of getting back to midfield so fast.I think that is hampering Cesc game too.He has to cover the space in midfield if Denilson or Nasri looses the ball which is a frequent thing happening in our games.Hope we finish in top four and get a strong team next season.This year we have signed only one significant player in Verminator.

We don’t expect to get big names but big players and a strong bench to play with.
David C says:

February 1, 2010 at 7:34 am

Sorry, a silly knee-jerk reaction. Wenger is the only manager who will guide us to success, although I have never believed it would be this year, and keep Cesc at the club. Don’t forget, if AW goes, so does Cesc.
JOEL says:

February 1, 2010 at 8:02 am

A change of attitude is certainly required by the Manager and the Board.His steadfast belief that a side can be wholly built from within with a few external tweeks ;where players can be brought in at bargain basement prices-doesn’t really wash any more.Unfortunately the market is an inflated one and whilst happy to reap the rewards of selling the likes of Adebayor and Toure for far more than they are worth he needs to bite the bullet and offer to pay the market rate for appropriate replacements.His steadfast support of the current crop of mediocre goalkeepers is deluded.As is his belief that any of our attacking options besides RVP and Arsh are good enough!He needs to re-enforce the spine of the side-goalkeeper;central midfield and attack.Yes,a fully fit first eleven mostly ticks most of the the boxes but the immediate back-up is just not good enough-and given the physical frailties of our World Class Players we must have better strength in depth to be able to compete on all fronts.
Similarly the Board need to back the manager properly in the transfer market.If they don’t have the money to do so,then it is necessary to bring in other people who do.Unfortunately,a desire to keep their current power base means that their preferred partner might have bought his way into the club utilising a similar model to that favoured by the current owners of United and Liverpool.If Mr Kroenke doesn’t have any real money of his own to invest in Arsenal then he should not be able to buy the club.
I also feel that if Monsieur Wenger is to stay at the club he needs to shake up his backroom staff a little.I would like to see some of the successful Arsenal players of the recent past brought in to pep things up.Bergkamp and Keown to work with the offensive and defensive elements of the team.These guys were real winners and need to tell this current crop that they haven’t won ANYTHING and if they are ever going to-then more effort is required!

February 1, 2010 at 9:10 am

I am a Nigerian and have been reading ur blog for some time now. I totally agree with you about arsene’s arrogance and the plot to keep taking fans money without giving them anything back. Realise this! Arsene is an Msc Economics holder. His main objective is to maximise profit and not win trophies and we cant take that anymore. Sometimes it gets embarassing for me to wear my arsenal jersey here in Nigeria not cos we lose but the asinine way that we lose. The shear stupidity in our losses is getting too embarassing to support and thats why in Nigeria most Arsenal fans have shifted to chelsea, who have not won the league lately but at least its not down to one man’s fault.
Still, Arsenal for Life…

Time for Wenger to do the right thing and quit..
