This is where the wumming starts. Several posts before Zimms said the performance wasn't good.

From the board who said they would not sack him? There is still pressure on him, don't think because of a few wins that pressure is off. Come o Zimm its clear were going to lose games this season, so its clear we need to bring players in.
Remember it only takes 1 loss for confidence to drop. Like i said to you, Wenger is Wenger he'll spend when he wants too. Not even sure i trust him with the money anyways, Do you?
No from the fans, the board will keep him on regardless they've made that clear. I disagree, you can feel the pressure is much less now, it's very noticeable. It's clear we need to bring in quality players and has been for years, but has Wenger actually ever really done so and in the past when we've been sure we needed some players has he gone out and signed them or just sat on his arse making excuses?
Now that we're siting pretty in 3rd he'll feel vindicated, that's what he perceives as success so for him in his head we're doing well, in the next round of the CL, 3rd in the league it's all looking rosy, I'm sure he'd come out and say as much if anyone questioned him now. I can't believe you guys haven't learnt from what he's done in the past yet, the same pattern repeats itself pretty much every season, why would it be different now?
spot on.
fan expectation levels have dropped from fighting for the title to being happy with 4th. all in the space of 5 years.
we're happy when we finish 3rd and it's seen as a momentous achievement. only recently 3rd was seen as a disaster.
wenger is a genius, because as i said a couple of weeks ago, only a genius can dethrone a team like he has yet sit on his throne with an army of supporters still backing him.
all whilst milking the highest salary in the league- a salary greater than the salary of a manager who has won 4 league titles, 1 champions league, 3 league cups, 4 community shields and 1 fifa club world cup compared to wengers almighty zero.
genius? i think so.
