    Wenger has served his time. He is a great coach but it seems that you can be too long in a job. The club and the team need some freshness, some new ideas.

    There is no doubt his team plays good football but IMO he has been lucky in inheriting a very good defense. Without that he would never have won any titles. All his pretty football would have come to nothing.

    Well this article is a load of guff so far.

    Anyone who actually knows anything about coaching, will understand that the manager has to instill belief in his players.
    Coming out and saying 'We've got no chance' might as well just give up there and then.

    If there were 5 games to go and we were 11 pts off the lead then it would be realistic for Wenger to say 'The title is unlikely'
    But 5 games in, he is well within his remit to say that we have every chance.

    Arsenal's morale is shattered. It has gone stale and the team has been steadily degrading since the invincibles year in year out, lets be honest here, Wenger's reputation was built on the invincibles team, players like what they had there are not lying around these days, you can't cheap skate it all of the time and the team has bled quality players ever since.

    Noone doubts he is a good coach but when a project loses its focus and fails to deliver it is time to change it up, either staff or the strategy. Share holders are happy though?

    Arsenal just don't believe they will beat United. That was obvious in the 8 2 trashing

    Off to anywhere nice?

    Will probably be Summer's last hurrah before Winter kicks in. Think the media have overyhyped the snow in October forecasts (surprise, surprise) but wouldn't be suprised to see the first snowfalls in the North before October is out.

  10. If you are going to be completely honest, you actually need quite a few teams to drop points in order to stand a realistic chance of getting any where near 4th. And that's assuming that you win all your remaining games. Sure, it's possible, but is it realistic?

  11. Well, every year we keep saying this or at least our manager does and it hasn't come to be so it is quite unreal. The sadness here is that we don't have a bad team. It's just a case of organising them. Utd didn't have a great team when they beat us but they were playing as a team. We somehow have forgotten to do that and it is characterised in many ways not least the silly goals we give away when we seem safe and out of reach. And that surely is something that can be changed. However Arsene does nothing about it. Just listen to discussions like this
