Claude really is king muppet. Is he capable of any rational thought or is it all just juvenile reactionary garbage?

Meh
I'd rather win the cup as well. But if we somehow manage to drop to a poor third or collapse into fourth place, then we are less likely to win the cup.
You can't turn on and off form and momentum ( well it's easy to turn off, harder to regain) and more performances like this coupled with the recent resurgence in Villa's form make it far less likely that we retain the Cup.
Are we all agreed that if we fail to win the cup then l'ouisseau has to go?
Maybe we are, maybe we aren't. What difference does it make? The cup is lucky dip anyway and an indicator of precisely nothing. Us not securing second when it was in our hands is the real indicator. It's more of the same. When the chance to push on arrives Wenger blows it. It's a decade of watching this, regardless of the configuration of the team. One constant in this constant failure to step up to the top level. He's should go regardless because as we saw again yesterday he's fresh out of ideas and getting slapped around by Gary Monk FFS.
I said it after the Hull match, Wenger will be happy now that 4th is secure and he'll let the momentum slip. One week later and here we are. Anyone could have predicted it by glancing back over the last decade. We also predicted he'd make shitty subs - tick. The more attentive predicted we'd play to Bif's strengths but only after he'd been subbed off - tick.
Thanks for the memories but proper manager needed now. Not somebody who runs the place from top to bottom, a more limited role that concerns itself with sensible team selection, tactics, team talks and motivation, etc. The stuff Wenger can't do.
