This doesn't mean they'd win, but at least the shit would be watchable. As things stand, our football is good for nothing - except maybe as an all-in-one sedative and laxative.

How experienced a manager do you have to be to tell a player in front of goal to shoot? Or instruct a midfielder to play the odd forward pass every now and again. I think anyone but Wenger is a valid slogan that has merit behind it. Get some piece of shit in and sack him after 5 games. But do SOMETHING to break out of this coma.

Do we need a change of manager soon? Yes. Do we play boring and frustrating football for long spells? Yes. We had no creative central midfielder last season with Cazorla out. Is Arsene unwilling to change his stubborn ways, perhaps not,
But, he's got at least one more season - it would be great for him to go out on a high. Hopefully get off to a good start and build from there. lets see what happens between now and start of season. Some promising youngsters have come through in Bellerin, Iwobi and Campbell ...those mixed with a fit Ramsey, Sanchez, Cazorla and Ozil....and a new 20+Goal striker and a Decent CB signing should put us in a good position. Our problem isn't the football per se, Ozil and Sanchez have done wonders, it's our complacency and inability to finish off a game anymore. We need to remember how to counter more effectively, change and consistently change our tactics according to the opposition. Wenger does it brilliantly sometimes, just can't find the consistency. Welbeck made a huge difference on his return from injury last season. I hope he's able to come back stronger again this time.

Gomez would have us tearing our hair out just as often as Giroud does.

Apart from with Fiorentina, his goal scoring record is immense

The Emirates Gallactico

Negredo signs for Boro.

A bit hit and miss but I wouldn't have minded taking a punt on him if all our other targets fell (which they appear to be).

Riverdance hasn't stood the test of time tbf.

But that's the point, isn't it? 20+ goal striker and a decent CB required. And even with that, Wenger has become so negative. He's using the law of averages to tap his way to CL qualification every season. And he views that as an achievement, which really is the whole problem. But fine, as I said before, if this is his last season then I can live with that and I suspect most fans can. But if he offers himself another contract everyone better hit the deck because a rattle will be leaving a pram at extreme velocity.

Sounds about as definitive as Huguain to Juventus.

It's time for Wenger move on, which means every manager in football is better than him.

Or, the Owen Coyle syndrome, as it is sometimes called.
