I am mad at Wenger and want him to leave come end season, but this is a disgrace: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDdX16OPxKU It shouldn't be coming to this, all fans should sing his name on Saturday just because of this.
Not really on but is this any surprise? Football has changed and so have the fans. Its all about glory and little else. Football has sadly become a business and this has led to glory hunters. Wenger is a victim of his own success. Winning so much so early and then building Arsenal into a financial powerhouse. If he drops out of the top 4 then he better have an escape capsule ready, as I can see a lot of fans getting really nasty. I do hope it doesn't end up like this and he leaves on his own terms, he's done too much to warrant any of this nonsense.
You'd like to believe that, it would mean you don't have to acknowledge it, but that's denial I'm afraid. Those were season ticket holders and paying away fans, not glory hunters. There are morons at every club. All clubs have them - have always had them. Arsenal is no different. Agree with all the comments though, he doesn't deserve that abuse. Bang out of order for a well-respected manager and that's from a rival fan.
Not all aways fans are season ticket holders, many times a friend loans them the ticket, or someone has to drop out and it gets resold. Heck I used to manage to go to some away games (including Anfield) before I became a season ticket holder.
Just want to know. What good does this stupidity do? Nothing. If I was a player I'd be thinking why the hell should I do my best for these w**kers? And any other managers looking on (barring Mou) would be appalled by said behavior. Just made the rest of the Arsenal fanbase look like idiots.
It's no surprise really considering the atmosphere around Arsenal at present. I personally think it's disgraceful.
Not always but very likely A87. It's being said that about half the ST holders at Emirates want him gone. I can imagine a very small minority of those are complete fckwits (usual representation of society in general). I can totally understand shouting ALL of that abuse at a TV screen in a pub watching the game with others. But to his face? a club legend, after all he's done for the club. Bloody hell. It's good to see no arsenal fan anywhere is defending them though.
Sadly on the Facebook comments to the video, there are some ****s defending it by insulting Wenger as well.
Wenger has transformed Arsenal from being way off the pace to genuine contenders year-in year-out. Its completely inevitable that you will drop out of the top 4 at some stage. Surely that is more likely if Wenger goes?
sacking him right now wont be a good move. he needs a dm and a defender and things will start looking brighter imo. dropping out of the top 4 for a year wont be a bad thing
Agree with everything except your last point. Dropping out of the top 4 would be a massive blow to Arsenal.
Sorry but we haven't been contenders for the Champions league for quite some time and the league has been patchy at best for 9 years. But what he has done for us is make us contenders for top 4 year in year out.
We contended for the league last season. Granted we haven't been consistent with fighting for the title.
Wenger did well to simply ignore the ****s, he's a professional so he has to. But you wouldn't blame him for coming out with something like : 'Why don't you ignorant ****s go and do one. You haven't got the slightest clue how to run a football club and yet here you are booing me. You ****ers wouldn't last one second in this job, but here you are thinking you know best. Your role with this club is easy, support the team, but you ****s are so full of **** that you can't even do that properly' I'm pretty sure he was muttering that under his breath as he got on that train . . .
Someone should have broken through the barrier and given him a couple of digs. That would have given him something to think about!
