If these fans actually took a step back and looked at our expectations they would see the reasons we have them is due to what Wneger gave us.<br /><br />I thik it speaks volumes that im sure if he was to leave, he would then be linked with every job in the EPL, including the likes of Chelsea, City, Spuds and Liverpool.<br /><br />Wenger gave us a golden age where frankly he spoilt us. We wnet from boring boring arsenal, to the seconde best footballing team in the world, second best to barca, whihc aint too shoddy.<br /><br />The key problem is the dynamics of the EPL (and the world of football) have dramatically changed. Before hand Wenger only had to compete with Man Us money spending ways, and abroad it was simply Madrid and Barca. Forward to now and its Chelsea, Man U and City at home and the likes of PSG and a couple of others abroad. <br /><br />Yes Wengers brought some dud players and yes our wage structure is crazy but that comes down to how Ivan and the rest want to run it...and that is run by lining their pockets If the money was truly there, then by now our BOD should HAVE sacked wenger and brought in someone else. For me they havent because they know that no other manager would do what wenger still does on a shoe-string budget and that is he still year in year out gets us in CL whihc means a nice big payout...a Payout we dont see and nor does our team/manager because if he did, then i have no doubts he'd have kept RVP by offering a decent contract (a contract that Ivan dealt with) and the same goes with Theo.<br /><br />The bottom line is yes Wenger has his issues but without him, we'd be in an even worse state IMO.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5366437983777820571.post-88642732785247764362012-11-26T16:16:02.491+00:002012-11-26T16:16:02.491+00:00Bi polar, never thought of a better word to descri...Bi polar, never thought of a better word to describe Arsenal currently. Consistency is something that we haven't had for a number of years and doesn't look likely to come back anytime soon. To be honest the departure of Gilberto Silva lead to the downfall in consistency.<br /><br />Personally, I'd stick with Giroud up front with Walcott out wide which I know isn't where he wishes to play, but Giroud's strength is a great asset to the side and links very well with Walcott's pace. However without Walcott in the side, we have no-one who runs onto his knock downs.Sean -Adminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11408164167355806055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5366437983777820571.post-80787630709307099062012-11-26T15:39:47.792+00:002012-11-26T15:39:47.792+00:00Yeah we are bi polar as is our team!
Seriously o...Yeah we are bi polar as is our team!<br /><br /> Seriously our chants shd not give ammo to wolfpack journos to attack our manager with. Bout time we stopped expressing frustrations in that way. How bout applauding the good stuff that does get done like the timely save mentioned in th blog? Applauding the passes that are completed; the attempts on goal even if they don't come off? Let's encourage the players and the manager and remember we have opposition enough in the rest of the premiership and the media vultures.<br /><br />I'll b at the boxing day contest with West Ham, hoping to hear some cheers no matter the result. Let's get behind our players and our manager. Show some true Gooner spirit.<br /><br />Red Army!gooner-girlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5366437983777820571.post-26490377693009288242012-11-26T14:29:16.760+00:002012-11-26T14:29:16.760+00:00To be fair coming on the back of the away fans cha...To be fair coming on the back of the away fans chanting "there's only one Arsene Wenger" at Tottenham Saturday's chant has a degree of bi-polar about it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
