Assuming we were Arsenal fans...

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

He's gotta go blud. He's past it fam. You understand me blud? He's gotta go fam.

^^^^^^^^^^ innit !

[ZonkoVille77]

I think he should stay. He carries a nice bouquet.

[Kevin D]

Sack. He isn't going to change, and if he doesn't they won't win anything.

Assuming we were Arsenal fans, would you be strongly calling for him to go/ how many years would you have wanted him out, or more of a it's probably best he goes, but don't really mind?

[razor]

I'd keep him.

 

Or sack him.

 

Soccer!

[jimmycase]

Id say arsenal fans are arrogant fucks.

[Jairzinho]

Won't win anything?

 

They've won the FA Cup a couple of times since the last time we won anything.

So what?

 

Being marginally less shit than us isn't a reason to want him to stay if you were an Arsenal fan.

 

He has no intention of fixing the lack of bottle in the squad. They're losers, like us.

[TheHowieLama]

Technically they are better losers.

[Jairzinho]

Maybe five years ago. Possibly longer than that. As soon as it became apparent that he had no intention of signing any centrebacks or central midfielders that would win a fight with a goldfish.

 

The fact that he's essentially been just collecting money for the club for about a decade would probably have not seen me angry, I'd just have lost all interest. Taken up gardening or something.

[Jairzinho]

Technically they are better losers.

Agreed. Top, top losers.

[JoeyJones65]

 

Fackin sack the useless cant. Ere old ap moi san, e did win the 4th place trophy so fackin keep im innit. Err..sweet innit.

[Bjornebye]

If i was an Arsenal fan i'd fuck my dog on cctv then shoot myself up the arse, 

[Bjornebye]

Listen fam, there's a lot of talk in the ends about getting rid of the manager but that's a mad ting fam. Bare mans be chatting booboo. They don't give a fuck fam. They're not from the ends fam. They don't know what all dis is about fam. Them mans be pagans. They vexed about everything, not just the football fam. I'm gassed about our manager fam. So gassed. You feel me? He's the right man for the job fam. Just have a little patience. He's gonna prove all you mandem wrong. Just have a zoot and chill out yeah? We in safe hands fam.

 

 

for real

[Dicko]

Plenty of time for Arsenal fans.

Yes they maybe the epitome of new fan fuckwittery but they have never once lowered themselves to sing about Hillsborough or the city in general. And they've always been supportive of the justice campaign.

 

They were also superb with the Ray Kennedy tribute.

Can remember in 2001 when we won the FA Cup and both sets of fans mixed after the game without a hint of trouble. I would have been devastated if we had lost in that way but the fans I met were gracious in defeat and just had a laugh with us.

 

They aren't like Chelsea or any other Soccer AM chanting southern teams.

[an tha]

I'd have a little look at this lads before praising up Arsenal fans too much...

 

Sign on

Demba Ba

Have you ever seen Gerrard win the league

Feed the Scousers...

 

To name but a few

 

[SlugTrail]

We would be no nothing cunts with a superiority complex

Phew!  We got away lightly there then

[Unrighteous]

If I were them, I'd be frustrated at times, but I'd never want him sacked.  They're punching well above of their spends, and he's got a fairly ordinary squad with a few solid players competing, and has done for years.

[SlugTrail]

Phew!  We got away lightly there then

hey! i dont have a superiority complex.

[Ne Moe Imya]

This question can only be answered if you are on the Arsenal board.

 

Arsene Wenger has kept Arsenal in the top 4 for decades, all while spending about the 5th or 6th most in the league.  That is actually amazing, it's a massive accomplishment and doesn't get talked of enough.  Sure, he's never won the league, but neither have we, and we've spent far more.  To not drop out of the CL places even once on the budget he's had is very impressive.

 

On the other hand, why aren't they spending more?  Is it because he doesn't want to?  Because spending the 6th-most money and finishing 3rd is excellent if that's all the board was willing to give you.  It's far less impressive if the board was willing to give you more money, with the expectation that you'd win the league once every 5 years or so, and you just didn't want to.

 

So without knowing the reason they've spent so little over the past decade or so, especially the last 5 years, it's hard to answer.  If it's Arsene that's counseled restraint, though the money is there - then sack him and get someone who will spend and win.  If it's the board that's told him "this is all there is, do your best with it" then he's doing an admirable job punching above his weight and I'd have him as long as he's willing to stay.

[Cardie]

Arsenal are 20 years in on a project, have the financial infrastructure fully bedded in to compete with most clubs and seemingly refuse to get involved. It's a different situation to certain other clubs who are far earlier in the process so I can understand the frustration.

Err, Wenger has won the Premiership 3 times. It's been a while since they last won it so can't blame you for not remembering...

[Strontium]

If we were Arsenal fans, Wenger would be long gone. Just look at the way Rafa was hounded out.
