Who’s the biggest fools at Arsenal? Wenger,or the fans that keep defend him?
Our season is now over, and for the 5 season in a row we have nothing to show for it.
Todays game sums Wenger and this bunch of players up. Pass from side to side,pass back, keep the ball, pass, we have a chance to shoot.. But pass!! Pretty football with nothing to show.
How many saves did Kirkland have to make? hardly nothing to do.
This 4-5-1 is just disgusting Nicklas Bendtner had NO support at all.
You can blame poor goalkeeping again but there is only one person to blame for today and the past 5 seasons and that’s Wenger.
Wenger has put together a squad of over rated over hyped players with the losing mentality.
Sol Campbell is the only player at Arsenal who seems to give a F##k. Where is all this great spirit that Wenger keeps telling us about?
The sad fact is that Wenger keeps telling us how great we are and how great the club is looking for the future, Most of you muppets keep falling for this trick. At the end of each of the last seasons Wenger comes out and says the same old shit.
“We have money to spend and in the summer I will address our problems”
“My main goal is to keep this bunch of players together”
Then its
“our players returning will be like new signings”
And then “I didn’t want to sign and it would have killed our young players”
Lets be honest, We have punched well above our weight this season and i really don’t know how we were even still in a title race? But to get to this position and need to win the last 5 games to win the title and then to lose to the spurs and then to wigan is nothing more then a disgrace. And the way our players didn’t even seem to care is what really pisses me off the most.
Its time for a massive reality check for some of you gooners, You cant blame injuries or the ref anymore.
Why have we not won anything since 2005?
Our manager, who 90% of you muppets keep telling me “knows” is NOT up to the job. We have 2 goalkeers of such ineptitude that i doubt that would even get into the West Ham or Wigan team. Wenger sicks with crap like Almunia, Fabianski, Denilson & Silvestre
Wengers 4/5/1 tactics are a disgrace. He wants us to play like Barca but we just dont have the players. Its time to get back to 4/4/2.
And when it was clear to us all that we needs to sign a few player in the transfer window Wenger banked the money “not for the first time”
For all them reasons I hope you can all now see that Wenger is to blame and I hope that you will NOW stop defending him and keep telling us that ” Arsene knows ” or “in Arsene we trust”
Its time the Arsenal board to know how the fans feel, PLEASE Join our forum and comment in this thread ( HERE )
Enough is enough, We cant keep putting up with this crap.

WENGER OUT!

I’m pretty sure that all of the people on here criticising the formation are the same people who, after the win against everton at the start of the season and when we were averaging 3.3 goals a game when rvp was fit, were saying that the change to 4-3-3 was a masterstroke!!
I always fail to understand why some arsenal fans don’t seem to get behind the players and actually support them, do you realise how much the negativity from supporters actually affect players?!!
I can’t see why we should jump on the back of the team, yes we’ve had two bad results in the last week, but with the amount we’ve spent compared to the teams around us were actually exceeding expectations. Would you rather see us spend £100m on players and be in a horrendous amount of debt or keep on going as we are and in a few years be one of the only clubs clear of debt in the league?
I know the answer most fans only concerned with short term success will say but money isn’t always the answer to problems, look at the sides above us who have spent millions more than us yet are only 3 points ahead. Success isn’t a right and some fans need to realise this, we need to keep some perspective and actually get behind the team!
Come on you reds!!!
I would not make such a cheap Joke. It may sound strange coming from a Spurs fan but I think Arsenal are a big club, a great club and have over the years had great teams. Such a club deserves great supporters. I wish that we had a Wenger as a manager the last 10 years we may have won something. I dont understand why all this anger aimed at somebody who has built may good teams, and is able to build many more.
just fucking calm down gooners . this bunch of players have overacheived so far this season, were now finding our level, which is scrapping for fourth place,and make no mistake we are going to have to beat fulham on the last day to to take third or fourth this season is far from over yet.
C’mon Marko, the only sheep out there are those blindly supporting everything Arsene does. The 2 keepers have been a disaster for so long it’s criminal. Now we’re back to the new signings talk because season tickets need to be renewed
and who do you brightsparks think should take over
Most people with the capacity for reasoned thinking don’t understand it either Dutch Spur, sadly that is a capacity that is pretty scarce on arsenalaction, espescially when sinbad vents his poison. Weirdly, many of the more sympathetic comments I’ve seen on the internet since full time have come from spurs fans like yourself. Hopefully most Gooners will rediscover some perspective sometime soon.
wonder what our odds are to finish 4th or even 5th?
We’re playing a highly motivated CITEH side next week, then its away to fat sam’s lot……I for one am not confident of finishing in the top 4……Its not like many of our ”better” players are due back soon.
That’s 9 goals conceded in 3 games……..Why on earth did’nt VP come on earlier ?
Though its not important in the scheme of things, and with all the injury’s, it really was a long shot, I just feel totally gutted that we could have had a squeak of a chance.
Any chance of a reaction next week…..don’t bet on it, remember, we don’t tend to do well against top 6 sides!!
Thats not even the debate here, I know we were shite today and we need a new keeper and a couple centre backs. What I’m against and what I’ve seen from certain blogs all season and certain people like Sinbad is just shite all season and a minority who only come out when we lose and call our manager this and that and call the players this and that. Where are the real fans. Cause it’s not the people who listen to Sinbad who’s probably a racist or at least a xenophobe.
Haha, this must have been just minutes or even seconds before sinbad actually did start today’s ‘wenger out’ facebook petition! Such a predictable little boy.
matt
a sound of reasoning…
absolutely right…im tired of those so called gooners…i always label them as non-true fans because a true fan would want his team to be competitve on the pitch while having no debts and no long term worries. a clueless fan wants everything now and only now.
we have not for 6 years. so what. life goes on. try to understand the finances/economics and everything else which goes beyond creating a succesful club.
im sorry, alot of people get exposed in the more challenging times. im content with wenger and i hope he stays for as long as he can.
And Danish Gooner is just as bad pathetic really. Go and support Brondby you glory hunting fool. I’m sure you all think football management is like how you it is on a computer game.
Whilst I can see the problems created by squad injuries these were already more than apparent back in January when we also had the African Cup to consider.At the same time any Arsenal fan with an understanding of “the game” has been aware of our goal-keeping deficiencies over the last two seasons.Therefore the manager has no excuse for today’s fiasco.We are talking about a side incapable of scoring against a second string Pompey,last week!Add to that a lack of real desire when many of the players on show,today,should have been playing for their futures at the club-something is definitely wrong.Whether it can now be remedied by a few “tweeks” or wholesale change at the club remains to be seen.But what is clear is that fans will not tolerate this type of performance for very long!
Lastly can any of the “Arsene knows best” brigade out there explain why following his fantastic cameo against the Spuds-why did the Manager leave it until the 90th minute before giving RVP another run -out?I appreciate that he needs to be careful given the length of time RVP has been out injured ;but surely a run out in the last 30 minutes of a game against a team who were 2-0 down ,would have made sense!?
GROW UP we couldnt be hear or have the players we do today if it wasnt for wenger you call your selfs arsenal fans wenger is the best manager this club has had if you dont want him hear tear up you shirts and fuck offf
well go support some other team if you punks have had enough… who do you expect him to buy, when the board dont give him money to spend. And dont tell me that jus cos they give him £25m a year for SIGNINGS and contract renewals. So go on then, where does the xtra money from.. He had to beg for arshavin, that why he didnt buy in summer…
Go supprt liverpool, or spurs they spent money every year wht have they got.. 4th or 5th if your spud or 7th if your a scouse…
Go and fuck off to eat Harry Redknapp’s ar fairwetaher fucks.se you
Oh look, shitbags come crawling back out the woodwork to talk more crap. I bet your so happy we lost just so u could spew more crap about wenger. Are u really that blind to everything that’s been happening at arsenal, how for re first time in 5 years we now have a transfer budget to compete? Wenger has worked miracles with the resources he has been given. He’s an amazing manager and your a rubbish blogger. Just give up will you, make the world a better place.
whats your source for wenger having to beg to sign arshavin?
please back up your arguement with a quality source
How do you know he didn’t try and buy in January? If the players ain’t avaliable nothing wenger can do. What’s with them filthy yids up the road being called spuds? So embarrasing.
* argument
The only muppets are tools like you who talk without thinking… What do you think will happen if Arsene leaves you dumb fucks?! The entire team will fall apart in NO TIME! Fabregas will be the next to leave, so will be Arshavin, Gallas, etc.. Where will Arsenal be then?!? Fighting for Euro League spot just like we did before Wenger!
Such pathetic drivel, as usual, from the Wenger Out contingent. It’s pathetic because it’s cowardly, you know he’s not going anywhere, you know the board love him, most fans love him, you are in the noisy whiney minority. Suck ass losers. And as always, no suggestions for who is better to replace him? Who? Mourinho? Don’t make me laugh. Hiddink? Don’t make me laugh. Two mercenary coaches. Moyes, O’neil, Redknapp? Who?
Get bent. I prefer to cheer for my team, that go about their soccer honestly, and maybe we lose to mercenary teams like Chelski and Citeh, and maybe we lose to teams that have the FA in their back pockey like ManUre, but at least we do our business honestly.
get fucked
He could start by not giving Walcott a salary of 60 grand a week,spending 20 mil on renewing contracts for average and shit players,wasting 30 mil on two midgets that cant do basic ball control (Nasri and Arshavin) ,spending way to much money on pampering youth talent that in the end amounts to jack all(i know and understand it is a gamble) but apart from cesc and cole what great talent has come through the Aresnal youth ranks…..zilch,squat,zero !!!
dammmm…..whhat an embarrasing game…AW have to feel ashamed at the bullshit he is selling the fans..Firstlly
AW said he will buy this season , because we are finacially strong and stable ,,,but doesnt that contradict his youth policy , what will happen to the young players he has….he will buy 1 or 2 players , thats it , and they will be youngsters , 16 to 17 years old..
Campbell looked the best player on the pitch , why , exspierence..something we are apparentlly still learning..
Bad luck with the injuries but also luck to get us where we are on the log……and with a light squad like ours you are bound to run into shit..
Dont blame the board , because if we needed strenghening then it was his work to tell them what and how much we needed..
If we are content with AW them we must accept the fact that we will be trophyless for a long time , beacuse believe you me , we will not win it nexts season…
so yeah , stop being so stubborn AW , what happens with the new manager we want , what will he do with the exiting squad…
just saying
danish gooner whats wilshere ??? he playing for bolton on loan and was amazing against chelsea and what about JET bartley etc basicaly ever team in prem has a former arsenal youth team play just shut up and go if you hate wenger dont support arsenal WENGER IS ARSENAL and nasri is amazing so fuck off
nobody want to c spurs fans on arsenal forums i cant wait to see spurs spanked in the champions league by fc cluj you fuking hypnotised morons
Wenger treats us fans like mugs. He lies to us all the time
JOKERS ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So you idiots want mourinho in yes? HA HA ! Pi7s Tak3
Can you really see hill-wood paying mourinho wages? noway! mourinho wouldnt come as every team he goes to he spends massive. Porto he left them in a awful state. Chelsea without Russian bast&AR* would be bust. So keep dreaming. Go support another team that seems to be so much better than arsenal. finishing 3rd in the premier league the best league in the world, is very good. STFU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wenger4life
we havent secured 3rd yet, i cant see us winning again this season.
5th is a possibility
Yeh Nasri and Arshavin can’t control the ball…
You are clearly a knowledgeable gent.
I’ve seen Nasri dribble himself out when surrounded by 2/3 players on so many occasions since he’s come to this club its ridiculous. He is one of the best dribblers I have seen in the Premiership and no I’m not just spouting this off since he scored that goal against Porto… he really is that good at close control.
whats the point in telling people to support a different club just because they admit wenger isnt good enough any more.
surely wanting your club to do better makes you a better supporter than blindly following a sinking ship.
classic example of a fan who’ll be changing his screen name to LA-REALMADRID or wherever Wenger ends up next sometime in the future.
As much faith as I have in Wenger, and I do think he’s proved to be a great manager, he clearly has a number of blindspots which I’ve been saying for years, even when we were winning trophies.
The success of the 01-04 teams going forward came from their ridiculous fitness and pace and how clinical they were on the break or moving towards the goal at pace.
Unfortunately we can’t really replicate that now due to all the other teams having adopted similar stances on player’s fitness and athleticism (which I would argue is pretty much a direct result of Wenger’s influence on the English game).
What we lack going forward now is enough movement in and around the penalty area to play the passing game we are so good at in a more clinical fashion. Without that movement we can’t penetrate in the final 3rd and thats been our problem for most of the season. Van Persie was incredible at providing that kind of movement, as well as holding the ball up if it was needed. It may sound like a cop out but I genuinely believe that had Van Persie not been out all season we would easily be up there in contention.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Liverpool without Torres, United without Rooney and Chelsea without Drogba would be having the same problems as we have going forward (although Chelsea to a lesser extent because of Anelka, who is also class).
Now I think this team is pretty close to the finished article. Everyone agrees we need a new keeper and a new centre back (or two if Gallas leaves). We seem to be getting Chamakh on a free so that eases any worries about the attack and our midfield is pretty solid as it is, although they may need a bit more time to fully adjust now that Song, Diaby and Cesc have established themselves as the favoured 3.
If Wenger is unable to accomplish anything with this team in the next 2 seasons then I’d say he’s probably had enough time and maybe he should leave, because the foundations are clearly there, but to call for his head right now when we’ve done so much with so little this season is ridiculous.
I’m not saying “Arsene knows”, because maybe he just can’t adapt to a Premiership where all the top teams show the same level of athleticism as we do, but to deny that he has assembled a team with real quality in it this season, with the likes of Cesc, Vermaelen, RVP, Song etc. is just being stupid. They are not yet up to the level of the early-mid 00′s teams, where we had arguably the best players in the world at left mid, up front, centre mid, left back and centre back, but they are not too far off being a very good team.
back from???
I have to agree with RvP..
Sad fans have short memories and only think short term.
There is a crisis on in football. Real spend 250mil and we get further in CL.
We lose to Spurs with 7 players out and are unlucky . Chelski take a strong team and get well beaten.
Lets put things into perspective. We have never been free to gain momentum except for the 1st 7 games when we had our holy trinity getting into form of Fabregas Van Persie & Arshavin.
The players are good enough. We need a goal Keeper. Centre back unlucky. Look at Man U when they went to Fulham suffering in defense. No Team can survive. Calm down and take a reality pill and realize we need a bit of Luck it is that belief that wining mentality is all that is missing . It is not technical we have the players
Seriously enough is enough. The author is spot on with his article. This is not a knee jerk reaction, rather this lacklustre team has been the product years of false promises. Arsene said “judge me in May” well I have made my judgement – You have to go! You knew we had weaknesses with our Goalkeepers and you chose not to buy. You constantly play players out of position (Bendner on the wings, Eboue right midfield etc). Come on, I know nothing about football compared to you, but even I knew we needed to strengthen up our defence last summer. And to the Arsenal Knows Brigade – FUCK OFF – seriously sick and tired of you. I support ARSENAL FOOTBALL Club and not Arsene Wenger and I have every right to question what goes on with the club!
*Arsene Knows Brigade
Apologies for stating the obvious here but today’s display shows our squad players up to be totally impotent and inept. I’m not here to vent on what happened today, cos there’s no point. However, the lads don’t have a clue how to close out a game when ahead and faced with a team who like to scrap.
I’m just gutted cos the team has run out of juice, and it now looks like we will now finish 10 or 12 points behind.
I’m actually fearing another Man U/Chelsea/Barca type demolition when Citeh roll into town next Saturday.
At times this season we’ve managed to win games that we had no right to. But what’s been glaring in our play ALL SEASON is that we never try to stop the opposition from building up a head of steam. 5 or 10 minutes to make a game scrappy and stabilise the team when we lose a goal is all I’m asking. Even with our strongest 11 we don’t know how to or seem to be bothered to stop others playing.
When we tonned Everton on the opening day I thought we had finally turned the corner, with a new high press to add another dimension to our attacking play. How wrong I was. Barca showed us that technical brilliance + hard work is difficult to stop, but even that can be stopped if you don’t stand off and act like a spectator when your opponent attacks.
Alot of you are calling for Wenger to step aside.
That’s all well and good, and you might get your wish at the end of next season. He won’t ever be sacked, but he might walk. But dream on if you think a Hiddink or any other coach of that quality will come in and make a difference. Players win games not coaches. If we’d won the F.A Cup every year for the past five years what would you be saying then?? We’re just a cup side so sack the boss cos we’re nowhere near the league??????? Or Arsene is the greatest cos he wins the FA CUP every year. In the last 10 years SOUTHAMPTON, CARDIFF, and even MILLWALL have made the final, and PORTSMOUTH are in they’re second final in three years winning it in 2008 for fuck’s sake.
I like a trophy just as much as anyone, but I want the ones that matter. Premier League & Champions League are the cake and Carling Cup & FA Cup are the icing and cherry.
If I was ever unlucky enough find myself in a position where I haven’t eaten for 4 days, and someone gave me a bacon sandwich, I’d wolf it down like it was a Sunday roast. But it’s not a roast, it’s still only a sandwich, even if I had 3 of them at a go, it would never measure up to a roast. So to that hypothetical kind stranger……hold the fuckin’ sandwich gimme a roast.
I for one am greatful for what Wenger has done for our club, but now enough is enough. He needs to end the project and I think he knows that himself now. Everyone knows we need players but whoever comes in will need to have bags of heart and fight to go with world class ability. Anyone know any players like that? I’d love to hear from you.
To round off, I love our club to bits and credit the lads for being where they are right now, but things have to change in the off season. Defenders that love a fight are what we need right throughout the side. PLUS A NEW KEEPER…………PLEASE. Even give teenage Chez a go if things don’t work out.
Greetings Gooners………..chins up!!!!
By the way……..
Sinbad………….you’re a cartoon character and your views should be treated as such. You’re a ballbag without balls..
Pistol Pete…………you named yourself after a tennis player in the 90′s. If you really do have a pistol………….pop it in your mouth and pull the trigger you fuckin’ cabbage..
Agree!!!
Once again, we lose a match, and the freaks come out…
OMG liversmall!! f**k the f**k off!
Good Idea! cheers
Fucking hilarious! A semi literate retard plastic slating real Gooners!
Nope. ..more likely muppets like you who were happy to bask in the glory in ’98 and ’02 and ’04 and now bitch and moan like petulant children when things don’t work out as you’d like. No doubt the same muppets who spend 80 mins every Saturday abusing our players, before pissing off 10 mins before the final whistle. Nothing in life is easy, you have to work for it. What, exactly, are you doing to support the cause? Crying like a baby? Grow up, or go and follow another team. COME ON ARSENAL!!!
the fuck with wenger, barca had six years, why should we follow suit. he knew very well that he needed a striker for the second half of the season and he was thick headed and refused to buy coz bentner was getting back. to day he knew well early enough that bentner and diaby were doing nothing and he left eboue and van out till the time it hit him that we were losing. What the fuck are we keeping this coach for? sACK THIS GUY NOW AND FIND A BETTER ONE
bruno dante : Honestly you cant see us securing 3rd and 5th is a possiblility. Don’t worry we’ll get 3rd. We only lost a game! We need to calm down. We’ll come back next season with a stronger squad making a strong title bid like this year but we’ll have a bigger squad so injuries wont be as much of a problem
You have to be positive. Wengers done a great job. We’ll win something next year.
Bruno Dante stay with the gunners! And believe in the team and trust in wenger!!!!!
I hate to hear people say stupid emotional things about my team when they don’t do particularly well, or when they don’t win trophies. I watch to enjoy beautiful football. I hope for trophies, but I don’t count on them because I support a team that does not operate on the leverage system with finances, and will not make an investment they cannot afford to make. I can accept not winning trophies every year. I cannot accept fans bailing out because we aren’t winning trophies every year. Things will get better, we will be able to be proud of our accomplishments when they do, and Wenger will finally, in mad scientist style, be able to prove that football can be conquered at the highest levels with less money than Chelsea or Real Madrid or City can spend. It takes time, patience, loyalty, and a few strategically purchased, well sought out stars.
Next season we will compete at all levels, and we will have less heartache.
found at http://footballabroad.wordpress.com/ and I fully believe in post
Hahaha funny article.To be honest i’d like it if all you fickle fans stopped supporting the club your obviously only glory hunters with a very limited view on the season. You and all these other fans are an embarrasment mate. I’d quite like to beleive that Wenger has changed the team for the better throughout his reign. Yea there are certain things that happen like today but thats football. Yea certain players i don’t think are good enough but this was the gamble of building a state of the art stadium which will have Arsenal challenging for Years to come.
Beleive me im frustrated probably more so than when we lost to QPR 3-1 in the league at home but most of you fans came about when the titles came in so probably can’t remember that.
Anyways point is your gunna have ups and downs through the years, we’ve been unlucky our up has come at a time of Rich billionaires and Sir Alex. So put that into consideration next time you embarrass yourself by writing this pointless drab support the Chels or United you Glory Hunters or Shut up and get behind the Team!!
If we’d had RVP for most of the season we would have won the Premiership, I have no doubt of that.
All you glory hunting pricks can go sod of down the lane.
You guys are incredibly stupid! The thing we need to get rid of before wenger is you spoiled,FAKE fans. Without this manager we would have been nowhere. We will have our trophy next season, I am 100% secure. Just look how far we have become(not just look at our finishing position). But if we dont get a world class keeper and CB i understand nothing.
Be careful what you wish for! If Wenger goes there is every chance that key players will follow suit – Cesc, Van Persie, Song et al – and we’d be no further forward. The problem is there’s no one to challenge the Wenger strategy of seeking to win silverware with a largely home-grown group which he has spent years nurturing. Someone within the club needs to challenge Wenger vis-a-vis the goalkeeping situation, the lack of quality centre-backs, the performances and quality of Eduardo, Rosicky, Denilson and to a lesser extent Nasri and Diaby. I can’t believe Pat Rice and other senior staff have not questioned the wisdom of trying to go a whole season with Almunia/Fabianski and Silvestre (and latterly Campbell) as first choice/cover for key positions. To be honest I don’t think Wenger has been the same since Dein left. He certainly seems to have become isolated and stubborn in seeking to pursue what most commentators have seen – and has now been proved – as a failed strategy to win major competitions with a squad which is just too thin. My concern is that he will continue in the same vein unless someone at the club have the courage to urge a change in direction vis-a-vis the signing of experienced players and the culling of those who are simply not good enough. But who will do it? It might take a Usmanov/Dein (although the later seems to have disappeared off the radar of late) partnership to push Wenger in the right direction and regain the momentum we’ve lost over the last 5 years. If not, I hope Kronke and Gazidis have the balls to ask Arsene to rethink the strategy and provide the funding to bring in the experienced players we clearly need to compete for the Championship. Otherwise we’ll be joining those delusional faggots from N17 in competing for the 4th champions league spot every year.
