The Wenger Thread!

Biggus

Not as far as I'm concerned.

dreamlord

You're not concerned if we're playing in the Europa League next season?

Claudius

we should dump the guy now. and bring in someone who can deliver the FA Cup. just pay van Gaal 1 million a month to end this season for us. i'm sick of the sight of Wenger. i don't look forward to our shellacking against City

Burnwinter

It does fill you with dread, but the summer is the time for judgement, not that fans will have any say.

Nope, what difference will it make if we qualify for the CL?
Wenger won't reinvest the money in better players.
If he's still manager next season, we won't go very far in it because he's a tactical numpty.

Claudius

we need a hot-headed owner to dump him now. in the summer it will all be about how he has 100M pounds to spend and this is the opportunity to catch up with Chelsea et al

Well, assuming your wish of a new manager gets fulfilled, what do you think will make his job easier? Because I sure as hell don't think playing every Thursday with a crappier set of players will.

Biggus

We're not getting a new manager Dreamy.
So long as Wenger can save them money they'll keep kissing his arse and calling it ice cream.
Do you think Kroenke gives a fuck about how many times we lose 6-0?

dreamlord

It's weird that you say that, because you used the phrase 'If he's still manager next season' implying that you have some hope as well.

Either way, I don't see how you can deny that finishing in the Europa League would a disaster for us. Even if you're not concerned with our CL chances, at least acknowledge that playing in the EL will have a negative impact. Hell United's idea of playing friendlies was better.

Theres always hope (that he'll be gone soon), us football fans are notoriously hopeful.

I see he's brushed off the Chelsea spanking as an "accident". That is exactly why we're never going to win shit with this guy. Instead of analyzing what went wrong in that game, he probably ignores it and tells the players to move on to the next game.

Those are his media quotes, I wouldn't read too much into them. If that is what he believed he wouldn't of cancelled his press conference on Saturday and Monday. We still have something to play for so publicly he isn't going to condemn his players as that will just attract media attention.

Biggus

Wenger added: “At the moment there’s no rational explanation other than the quality of our opponents and that we were caught at the start of the game. Why? We don’t really know.

“You have to put it into perspective. You have to think that was an accident. How do you deal with the accident? You repair the damage and you go for the next one.

"An accident has happened, that doesn’t mean that you’re not a good driver. It’s not what happened on Saturday that reflects the quality of this team. We have 62 points that we earned hard with quality games. It is a time to stick together.”

😆 Fuck off you Turnip.

Hmmm. An accident he says.
You only get away with that if you've only been battered by 4 plus goals just the once in a season.
Nothing remotely accidental about it happening three times at the same time of day, in the same circumstances.
No good driver would three times lose control of the car rounding the same bend.

Burnwinter

It was a pretty disgraceful choice of words, but it's easy to see he's aiming at the psychology of the squad. We do in fact have to look at our record over the whole season and pull ourselves back together.

Third place and the FA Cup would make this our best season in nine years and that's what we've got to shoot for as a minimum.

Wenger's current language should surely be judged based on our tactics against City. If he suicides again ...

Biggus

The funniest bit was 'that doesn’t mean that you’re not a good driver'.
Comedy gold. 😆

Gut feeling is that he'll stay on. Multiple rough moments over the years and he always manages to ride them out, no matter what. He'll leave when he wants to leave.

Biggus

Yep, he's got 7 million reasons to hang on as long as possible.

Absolutely, but I don't see any issue with the early kickoff thing personally. The three times it's just happened to be away against the top three teams. The kickoff time has to be a non issue.
