   Please fellow Gooners don’t jump all over me for saying this, because I hate Tottenham as much as anyone, but due to Wenger’s poor transfer decisions, their best XI is better than our best XI. Why couldn’t Wenger pay £6m for Ben Foster? Who of us wouldn’t swap Clichy for Bale, or Arshavin for Modric, Denilson for van der Vaart, even Chamakh for Defoe? They have better centre-backs & defensive options than us. Wenger should have built a dynasty in his 14 years, a team that matches our stadium. He isn’t capable, which is why Mourinho openly ridicules him. He should have gone after 2006 CL Final.

   I thought we were done with this Wenger-out stuff on AA?

   The game hurt all of us, but it hurt Wenger even more – I loved that scene where he threw his bottle – brilliant.

   Great quote: “I want so much for this team to win that I am giving every drop of my blood to make sure that they win. I want them to be successful because they deserve it and it hurts when you get so close as you did on Saturday and you don’t manage to do it.”

   Go Wenger, I’m behind you as always.

   Please just die.

   You hate this team, hate our manager, hate what our club has become.

   We don’t need you.

   Hardest thing for football fans is a loss if we had won different story so lets just wait till the final game of the season, and see who comes in, in jan… but we need a trophy wenger at least build on a carling cup trophy and go from there!!!!

   At what point were we close to winning on Saturday? It was like the hare & the tortoise! They made 1 tactical change at half-time, & that’s all it took to unravel Arsenal’s game-plan. No leadership, no defensive cohesion, & no stomach for the fight when it mattered most. The team reflect the managers personality, & as good as he is with the accounts, tactically in football, he is clue-less. Last season was Wenger’s 13th at Arsenal, in Ferguson’s 13th season at Man Utd he won the treble. After 24 years there is still the same hunger & intensity of desire at Man Utd, something that is desperately missing at Arsenal.

   This is such kneejerk bullshit. We allowed Gallas, Campbell, Silvestre and Senderos to leave and I’m glad about everyone of them. We brought in two CB’s and got a long term injury back so effectively three. You may have been screaming about Garry Cahill but not everyone was.

   As you graciously mention, we have moved into a new highclass stadium. Soon after however, you criticise Wenger for not winning a trophy in the last five years. Those two thing overlap. It’s sound to me like you would rather have an FA cup than Ashburton Grove. I certainly wouldn’t.

   I don’t agree with Wengers comparison with this team and his other teams but I do strongly believe that our current squad can win the EPL this year. Getting nostalgic about better days at highbury is not rational or productive.

   It’s a fair question to ask who would replace Wenger. I personally don’t think that it’s relevant. We have the greatest manager we’ve ever had. He loves the club and the rational, intelligent fans love him too.

   I think part of you wants us to beaten by the spuds so you can raise your anti-Wenger agenda. You revel in this.

   Arsenal forever.

    Arsene has and still is giving his all to this club ,hes the best man for this job who else would give so much ?we were extremely unlucky on sat ,there is still only 3points in it and our players have learned a valuable lesson ,we will bounce back !the first half was a masterclass the yids didnt have a sniff,as for the second half that is something i will never be able to get my head around.
    we are very very close to something great i can feel it ,get behind them and be proud to chant their name !
    ARSENAL ARSENAL ARSENAL!

    We have not won anything in 5years,but we have posted profits.Other teams may win on the pitch, but we smile to the bank.We would pose moe profits ina few years from now when we will start the season without buying a player because we have children coming through,who will then entertain us. Afterall,Wenger has said winning is not everything,so why are we complaining.When we have put ourselves in the guinness book of records as the most entertaining team,we may then think of winning games,that is when we will send Wenger packing and buy players like Gallas,who are serious minded.How would Gallas have reacted on saturday if he were still as arsenal player.he would have gone upfront to create a goal,or lashed out at our incompetence,we inturn would have decended on him as we did,for attempting to change our pattern.Now he is gone and left us to do what we o best,throw points away.UP THE ARSENAL

    Total bollocks!!!

    Ask yourself a few questions.

    Where would we be now, in the league if Wenger was not the manager, under our current circumstances, i.e. not a lot of money to spend over the last few years. Would we be 2 points from top spot???

    Would we have qualified for champs league football for the last 13 years under another manager, and remember we are always one of the top eight seeds!!

    Would a so called top manager come to us with the probability of not a lot of money to spend and hope to complete with the chavs, citeh, manure, even the tiny tots year after year??

    Who would YOU go for? Be reasonable about it too. For instance, is there a prem league manager you would rather have in charge of our club? What about foriegners? Mourihno, great manager but would he come with no dosh to spend? Gus Hidink, Frank Rijgard AN Other? The only man who plays with a similar style is Pep Guardiola and I don’t see him leaving Barca any time soon.

    Last question, with the exception of manure and maybe even the spuds would not any other club in the prem and most of europe not jump at the chance of having Wenger as their manager, ask most fans of other clubs.

    Please don’t get me wrong, as a life long gooner, season ticket holder etc. I was as pissed off as any of you, I still do not know how we did it on Saturday but the fact remains we are still in the thick of it and once we get our heads sorted properly we will challenge. That is where I believe our problem is, in the players heads and yes, that is for Wenger to sort out.

    So, to sum up…..get real people, be very careful of what you wish for.

    hah… ANR is the best. Myles actually thinks Owen Coyle will be a good replacement to Arsene. Where does he get off ?

    gary cahill is he world class? he can’t get in front of about 6 other england c/h? we all know sqiddly didly & kozzer are not good enough it is very frustrating. Thing is the one he wanted subotic is @ buss/dortmund who are well clear in the german league & now won’t let him go, but don’t worry if who think spuds are man for man better than Arsenal think again

    Are you lot on here serious? Were only a bit of consistency away from a great team who WILL win trophies! We’ve been through the hard 5 years when we were waiting for the kids to come good, now were so close and your calling for the man who made this club even greater to walk away! Arsene may or may not be the best manager in world football, but he’s certainly up there and name we one person you think could step in and do better with the resources he’s got? Didn’t think so!

    Let me start by saying that, as a northern-based Arsenal fan, I possibly underestimate the significance of surrending a lead and losing to our local rivals. But I still cannot help being staggered by the massive overreaction to what happened and the venom that has been directed at Wenger and the players as a result. Get real. We didn’t capitulate in the pitiful way that many believe and could still have won the game comfortably in spite of conceding the goals we did. In truth, the second period was pretty much end-to-end stuff and we ended up losing out in what was an enthralling contest with football the overall winner. The Fabregas penalty incident apart, I fail to see the basic mistakes players supposedly made to let Spurs back in. Yes, Koscielny is a long way from being the finished article but his heading prowess has been more than evident thus far. He’d probably win nine out of ten aerial challenges against Defoe – he just happened to lose one that proved significant. And as for the free-kick that led to the winning goal, such mistimed challenges occur from the first minute to the last in pretty much every game. Some prove costly; most don’t. Having said all that, I think Djourou has been solid recently and should have been kept in the side. But instead of looking for scapegoats, sometimes you have to give credit where it’s due. It might hurt to admit it, but Tottenham are a decent side nowadays and have proved their resilience on more than one occasion this season. Stirring comebacks have become a regular habit for them. When the furore has died down, the more rational gooners will probably accept this. Yes, it is frustrating to evidently continue to go two steps forward and one back in the quest to recapture a trophy-winning habit. We do, however, remain tantalisingly close and fulfilling this ambition certainly does not require clearing out the manager and half of his squad as some so-called supporters advocate. Face facts. The level of competition is intensifying and no team will have things all their own way. Given a long-overdue decent run on the injury front, Arsenal have at least as good a chance as the rest to win something. If we don’t though, it certainly won’t be through a lack of trying on anyone’s part. Have faith!

    I saw the headline…Read the first paragraph…

    Would just like to say…

    WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT

    He is the heart of Arsenal Football Club…who do you expect to come in and take his place? because there are so many managers in his league sitting around waiting for a job arent there (y)

    Cant believe people even say this about Wenger…He is the man to lead us to glory…he knows he needs GK and a CB but hes stubborn….his stubborness has got us into the top four every season since our team practically fell apart after the CL final…He cant help it if the team under performs like in saturda againt the shower of shit…That team that started BAR KOSCIELNY is good enough for arsenal…its a mental thing within their own heads…wenger cant change that he can only give them the toold to develop and teach them which is is doing to a standard that is above alot of other managers…what other manager has a room full of tvs and computer screens all around of every game and sits in there every day analysing the team…the answer is NO ONE…ARSENE WENGER ‘THE PROFESSOR’ STAYS !

    i certainly agree, wenger is arrogant, against Braga in the CL last nit, realised we lacked quality t challenge f honors, honestly eboue,theo, wilshere, denilson, gibbs, squilachi,rosicky, bendnter and vela will win us nothing.look @ it guys, why isnt th man buying still believing in children in a game played by man.fget abt winning the CL, not even the EPL as long we hv these players either as 1st teamers or back up. aint just good enuf, right now i think we got three relatively good players in Nasri, Chamakah, Sagna. the 4th one is injured vamuelen

    Sinbad has crossed the line asking for Wenger’s head, but a lot of the issues he has raised MUST be addressed!! Any successful sports team or individual is built around mistakes, analysis, criticism, hard work and finally improvement. We can’t keep saying the team is “a couple steps from world class”, or “destined for greatness”. Where does this come from? Our performances all season long have suggested that we are far from greatness. Defeats at home to West Brom, Newcastle and Tottenham before December. So many fans are blinded by ambition; they think so long as we keep cheering on our team, it will happen.

    How many fans have you heard say, “let’s judge him in May”. This does my box in. I vividly remember Wenger coming out a couple seasons ago with the exact quote “judge me in May”. Sure enough, May came around, and we finished 4th, 18 points behind United. Judgements were made, and those fans were berated for it. Fans who criticize (although perhaps not to the extent that Sinbad does) only want the best for our team. In Sinbad’s case, he believes that a new manager and backroom staff would be the best for our team. I disagree, but that’s my opinion. It’s not exactly an outrageous proposal. FFS, we haven’t touched silverware in years. For people to come out and say “if you don’t support us, go support Spurs” is absolutely moronic. Many of you simply don’t understand the concept of support.
