Match reaction - Man City

[mastermind84]

If Wenger was never a good tactician, if he was never a good motivator, and if it's a gimme he'd fail in the transfer market despite having money...

Who developed the best attacking football this country has seen?
Who kept the team firing through an unbeaten season?
Who signed Henry, Vieira, Overmars, Petit, Henry, Pires?

I think you have hit on something here Letters. Which leads on to a more interesting question. Wenger's real legacy. Who was responsible for the great success we had at the turn of the century, and if it was Wenger, how can he possibly have abandoned everything and laboured so hard to produce this absolute shit show, some of the most boring football ever seen, some of the least ambitious and a team packed with expensive dross? He signed Sanogo instead of Mbappe.

My theory so far is, his early legacy remains intact but he had a mental breakdown. If he carries on, some people might not be so kind in their judgement.

Wenger has never been a tactician, but the crap about him not being a motivator and not being good in the transfer market is crap.

Wenger didnt lose his mind though. He just got old and out of touch. His tactical failings shine greater now since Pochittino and Guardiola are in the league now. Even Klopp's basic tactical self is better at it than Wenger. Mourinho is having similar problems with United because the game isnt won on the transitions anymore like his early Chelsea sides used to stunt.

I don't think he was ever a great motivator. Our biggest successes under him came when we had strong captains, Adams then Vieira.
His talent in the transfer market was his knowledge of the game outside these shores in an era when most managers only knew about GHELs.
Now every club has a worldwide scouting network.
And the fitness regimes which he brought in and were revolutionary at the time have been surpassed.
The things he brought to the table gave us an edge when he arrived, but other clubs have caught up and surpassed us.

Somebody just got me a yoghurt, which is bad enough, but when I opened it it was in two different pots and you have to mix the cunt together yourself. Lazy piss taking bastards.

Sounds like something they'd sell at the Emirates.

Yes

Are you Ian Huntley in disguise? If so you’re not meant to have internet access

Didn’t Huntley top himself?

No you’re thinking of Harold Shipman or Fred West

All the time mate.

Me too....I miss them dreadfully

Fun fact; Harold Shipman was a top amateur boxer.

His jab was lethal.

winding you up is too easy

Now you've admitted intentionally wumming, please stop.

It was a tongue in cheek comment. But I suppose you're looking for an excuse.

The intimidation + threats begins. Can't be far off a ban.
