The specialist in failure must be feeling less smug tonight with Leicester effectively putting us out of the title race, still I'm sure he'll get over it quickly enough and soon praise our quality in achieving 4th place.
F*cking loser.

My answer is No
FY was cheering Leicester so that's one for a start, there are others who have said as much too.Quote:

Your theory about Wenger doing no damage to the club is incorrect as well I'm afraid the damage he's done will take years to fix.
I wasn't suggesting it as a viable option, it's what I think would do it though.Quote:

Lets be clear though, this is a much worse result for spurs then it us. 2-1 up against ten men who haven't won in 4 games, and they bottled it. Everyone has spoken a lot recently about our players being weak, they weren't today. Spurs were. They choked today and last Wednesday.
It's not a theory it's a fact there has been real no damage done, its not man united or Liverpool where the squad needs big overhaul.Quote:

A new manager will have their own coaching set up and their own ideas of how to get the best out of current players and new players.
So what is this damage?.
Yes he has failed in match preparation, having a team that's mentally and physically strong and hasn't played well this season.....but we are in third not Chelsea's position, so this damage is ephemeral.
It was more posed at Zim, by asking other people whether they want Arsenal to fail in order to see Wenger gone.Quote:

I've heard some others say similar. I guess the thought process comes from thinking about another season under Wenger. Having to go through the same shit another year. It's a horrible thought.Quote:

In fact, it's bad enough having to say we needed our main rivals to have complete disasters to stand a chance of winning the league. It's really pathetic. But what makes it worse is seeing us still struggle even with Utd, City and Chelsea out of the title race. It's really embarrassing. If we win the league, I really don't know how I'd feel to see Wenger stay another year and come up with some patronising soundbite as if he and his players achieved something. We're losers regardless of the outcome. That's how I feel about this season and it sucks.
