Match Reaction v Soton (Home)

Wenger knows that Pep was the natural successor. He should have spoken to Pep, done whatever was necessary to allow Pep to take over next year. We'll never no for sure but ive heard that both Pep & Messi would have favoured Arsenal as their 1st choice if they ever came to England. Living in London & working with a philosophy not to dissimilar to how they want the game to be played. If this was true about Pep, Wenger should have made it happen if he truly loves the club. He knows Pep is a winner & is more aware of whats required in the modern game. I don't care if he leaves in 3 years time, longevity is hardly doing us any favours right now. Pochetino & Ranieri have only been in their jobs 2 mins compared to Wenger & look at the difference they have made.

Does anyone know if the crowd ended up boo'ing Wenger after the game?

I was shouting Boo-urns. :shrug:


I imagine there was some booing, probably at all of them - and it should be at all of them. The players can't absolve themselves of responsibility, they were doing it early season.

Other than Walcott there's only one constant in the last decade, so it's only right he should shoulder the bulk of the blame.

I surely hope the fans on the terraces turn on Wenger, that's about the only language him and Kroenke might ..might just understand for the message to get through

If they actually respected the fans and their opinions , even to a limited extent then maybe the pill would be easier to swallow. The contempt they show fans and constantly take them for mugs is precisely why I don't give a fuck about Wenger, the board or Kroenke. They are all cunts and I truly and happily mean that. Love the club but I hate them.

Well of course, the buck always stops with the manager. But the same set of players would have won that game a few months ago under the same manager.
They don't get off the hook completely.

It's lack of preparation and inability to deal with pressure, but to some extent that's down to the manager not incorporating leaders into the team, when we had players who stood up to be counted we always got over the line.

If he'd he'd have spent the money on top players, selected the right and obvious starting line up, a good chunk of the criticism would fall on the under performing players.

The fans would hang him from the nearest tree if the unthinkable happened and the Scum won the league! Mind you, there are some on here that would forgive the idiot.
