    I dont think that's possible.

    He had the chance in in the last Window(i dont think the money has 'only just' been made available) - we added a few but not enough genuine quality to replace what had left. I think if we end up finishing 5-6th the pressure calling for his head will be too much.

    Saying that we are still capable of getting 3/4th with this current squad but it will be harder than ever before.

    Not sure what the point of bring that table up is.. We were average 20 years ago so we should be content with being average now?

    Brought about positive changes to the Premiership with his progressive and pure methods of football, thus pushing the level of play and professionalism up a few notches. He gave us the great invincibles team, that was such a joy to watch.

    Yes I'm a WUM but if I can add one word to the list, surely I'm allowed one word - for both wenger and the fans.... delusional

    This is from a fan of a team that have won one trophy in their history and that was 40 years ago.

    I find it amusing that fans of insignificant little clubs like yours feel the need to post on our board.

    It's free - I don't have to pay and I enjoy the demise of a club that believes everyone should play your tippy tappy style even though the rules suggest otherwise

    Demise? Hardly. We've gone over a decade without a trophy and yet we are still the 3rd Mose Successful English Club.
    What has Stoke done? Desecrate the game by playing rugby.

    They have played way above their natural weight - can you say the same?

    That's only because your natural weight is so low to begin with.

    No, I think the point being made is that we are currently far far above average. People wanting a change are more likely to send us back toward average, than to improve upon our current above average record.

    YOu bring up a good point. What you don't probably understand is that tippy-tappy style gives us more opportunity to win games. By adopting a negative approach to the game, you reduce your chance of losing a game, against superior teams, but you accept that you are always second best. Over the course of a season you will pick up enough points to avoid being relegated, but you will never challenge for a league title, because, playing the way you do, you never give your team a greater chance of winning than the other team. The other team will always have more possession, more shots, better chances.

    If you are happy supporting a club that, by their very style, admits they are second best in every single game, then good for you.

    It was aimed at the "what has happened to our Arsenal" camp.


    Here's another "spot Wenger" exercise*:
