Utter bollocks....really? Madrid jobs is one of the biggest jobs in football, if you don't win the league and/or CL you're out on your ear, if you don't think that's pressure you're utterly deluded, at Arsenal there's f*ck all pressure from the board, that's the problem.Quote:

Give it up. they live in a make believe world where keeping Arsenal in the top 4 with the highest tickets in the whole of football. With the 5th highest turn over, where you cant pay the debt back faster than a certain amount each year is the highest pressure in sports. If im not wrong Wengers salary is about half or a 3rd of the value of the stadium repayments. If he would stop frittering money away on dross and perennially disabled players, wed probably have an extra 30m in the kitty each year. Our wage bill is 50% higher than the Spuds for 1 point difference most years.Quote:

This reality?
It's not reality, it's making excuses the spankings we've taken this season are unacceptable, one of the guys on the videos said the whole club should be embarrassed and we should, how often do other big clubs get spanked like this?Quote:

This guy has excuses after every single game, I stopped believing we could realistically win the title when Liverpool spanked up back in February (I was shocked people genuinely believed we could still win it after that drubbing last Saturday you just don't recover and win titles after beatings like that at this stage of the season), teams going for the title just don't get spanked like that, especially come crunch time. It was all very predictable though, once you looked at our run from the Liverpool game onwards you could see what was going to happen, because the same thing has happened time and time again for going on 9 years now, the money doesn't matter because ultimately we've got a manager who can't inspire players and signs players with no real desire to succeed.
If you let Wenger spend the money we supposedly have he'll just waste in on players we don't need who can pass 5 yards and link up with everyone under the sun, he also play them out of position, it's a waste of time giving him money to spend to build a successful side, he doesn't have it in him anymore.
I simply have no belief or trust in this guy anymore, he never delivers on what he says, I think it was 3 years ago he said this was the season the team had to finally deliver, they failed and he just ignore his words just like he always does.
If you want to criticize Wenger then there's plenty of ammo right now.Quote:

When did you start believing it? At the start of the season I certainly didn't think we were genuine contenders so I wouldn't use that as the benchmark for success this season.Quote:
