    Could somebody, Wenger, Rice, PHW, Stan, the other fat Russian, anybody please make sure: we mount a serious title challenge, take all the cups seriously and compete all out to win, don't field weakened sides and then fuck up, don't throw away leads, devise some fresh tactics to supplement our one dimensional game plan in the even the latter isn't working, defend set pieces properly, take set piece properly, insist the players cross the ball properly, order the strikers to get in the box when we are attacking, insist the players show pride in the shirt and don't collapse when under pressure and respect the fans in general and at all times because it's the fans that make this all possible in the first place?

    Thanks.

    There's no doubt that Wenger is an unbelievable manager in some was. Most geniuses are flawed however, and AW's downfall is having given his flaws full reign. I am coming round to thinking that this would not have occured had DD not left the club.

    No, but I think Moyes or O'Neill couldve built that and lasted the distance! Moyes and O'Neill are just two names... I am sure you werent creaming ur pants when AW was first appointed. If an unknown like him can take the club to such heights in 04, why not someone else? How do you know Riijkard, O'Neill, Billic, Van Gaal cant do the same job? These are established names.. may be there are a couple of unknowns who can do it too.

    The way AW is now, I can confidently say that any dumbass on the street can do better than him including you and Bruce Arena.

    He also built a team that gave away a 4 goal lead and lost 8-2.

    Don't know too many managers who have managed top clubs who have managed results quite like this, nor can I remember a manager whose team bottles it every season and remains in charge regardless.

    Everyone calling for Wenger to go wants a world class manager to come in. We all want better the club. But when discussing Wenger's tactics, you see odd decisions that most average managers wouldn't make but nobody believes an average manager can come in and sort out this team.

    Also, how much has wage inflation effected Arsenal? We have this wage structure right? Doesn't that stop things from getting out of hand and aren't we paying around the same amount we paid during the Invincible years?
    Yes, those same managers who out think him in the odd game also happen to, season after season for the most part, finish lower in the league.

    And we've lost 2 players to man city this Summer due to wages (and whatever else you choose to believe) for wages we just werent prepared to match. It also makes it difficult to attract players of the quality we used to.

    Nobody is calling for an Aguero or Torres or Ronaldo at Arsenal.

    Why couldnt we have wrapped up Mertesacker, Arteta earlier?

    What was the whole waiting period about?

    Why did he stick players like Bendy, Eduardo, Vela on the wings?

    Why hasnt set piece defending been a priority even though we have been leaking goals from that particular area for the last 5 seasons!?

    Which manager in their right mind would play four CM's (against Stoke) in a game?

    Why wasnt Almunia replaced when he clearly was costing us points every game? From very solid rumors, it was because fulham wanted 1 million more.. 1 fuckin million!!

    What happened to our quick counter attacking football? Whats up with the tippy tappy Barca clone football?

    There are plenty of other points and none of them were in anyway affected because 'Man City and Chelsea' are blowing everyone off the water. Thats just typical BS. If Arsene had got a couple of very basic things right, we'd have won the PL or some other trophy.. He is way past it and he is super adamant about making his shit policy of youngsters work.. thank Allah for that 8-2 defeat otherwise he'd have stuck to his same old policy.

    I find it baffling the reasons people still come up with to defend AW.. He was good.. he is a gob of shit now!
