    So in the last two decades Wenger had won 3 titles, 6 FA cups including two doubles. Top 4 every season, a champions league final and a season winning the league without losing a game. And 12 spud managers have never finished above him.

    What was that you were saying about ' epic fail ' again ? :)

    Considering the players he has had that's a woeful return. Whipping boys in Europe every season too. Most of Wenger's little success came at the beginning of his Arsenal reign, he just hasn't been able to adapt since 04/05. No manager will ever be remembered for consistently finishing fourth

    You have never won anything so you're in no position to comment.

    Portsmouth are a more successful team than you and they're hardly ever in the top division.

    I prefer to focus on the here and now, b4f. Looking back liverpool used to be the cream of the crop in world football, these days we finish above them and they are a laughing stock. Past glories are only so relevant

    This is almost word for word a post that I could have posted myself!

    I have consistently argued that the only reason Wenger won anything, at all, of any real note is down to the fact that he inherited George Graham's team. Wenger stood on the shoulders of a giant and took the credit for being a big man. But as the seasons wore on and Graham's influence in the squad dissipated, Wenger's failings became exposed, until he was left exposed for what he actually is - the great nearly-but-not-quite man of football.

    I know that the likes of Pixie and that pea-brained Highburyal won't like to hear that, but they'll know it is true, even if they would rather eat Levy's ass before admitting it.

    That's right, BoFo. Only if you are the plastic fan of a pay-for-glory club do you have the right to have an opinion on football.

    FFS, grow up, man!

    Yeah, but that just meant that they were **** up front and at the back. Brilliant in the middle, though.

    And here you are trying to claim Wenger is a failure.

    He is. Haven't you seen or heard of the protests at the Emirates ? They think the old donkey is past his sell by date by about a decade !

    It's certainly dumb enough to have been posted word for word by yourself

    You've been rinsed on this before, but seeing as you're back for more, perhaps you could have another shot at answering these questions ?

    Tell me how many of the players that won the league and cup double in 2002 were signed by George Graham ?

    And how many of the players than won the league in the invincibles season were signed by George Graham ?

    No bottling it now :)

    So you're backing HIAG's assertion that Wenger's tenure over the last two decades has been an 'epic failure' ?

    I think that description of Wenger's tenure is almost too generous

    He's been a disaster
