Not all the time perhaps, but I do think there's a strong element of the reactionary at times with posters (and I would even include myself in that).
And I hate to keep bringing it up but it's not a straw man argument, there are posters on here who have expressed that managers like Pulis would do a better job at Arsenal than Wenger. Now it's their opinion and their entitled to it, though I think they have all their work in front of them to evidence why this would be.

He's not that wrinkly for someone of his age, and old is a relative term but French is something beyond debate

Are you wrinklier?

No I'm more haggard than wrinkly

Well Alsace has always been French in Wengers life time, but yep it's a border region and his favourite team as a kid was Borussia Moechengladblach

There are one or two that hold that view but it's not a view expressed by the majority. Certainly not me. I'm dead against a David Moyes and said that before the Man Utd debacle.

There aren't that many regular posters on here and I don't see why there is a need to generalise as if there is a massive consensus on here.

I don't believe I said it was a consensus of opinion nor have I stated any of the extreme Anti Wenger sentiments are the prevailing opinion.
I have confined myself to saying "some" posters, which indicates that it's more than one person rather than a majority
No there aren't loads of regular posters on here, but there are quite a few posters like myself who make flying visits. The last few days I have posted here regularly, but there are times where I won't come here for a few weeks.

The times Wenger has won the league, he had a better squad of players than every other team in the league. He needs this to overcome his own intrinsic limitations as a manager. Our squad of 2000-2004 was arguably better than that of United and we only won the league twice with United scoring a hat trick of wins 99-01. No way he wins the league without superior and more importantly strong willed players. He has actively shunned players of the calibre of Vieira or Adams preferring the more malleable types. Ironically, I believe you can't really win the big prizes without these gladiators.
It's going G to be a long wait, I fear.

One could argue that we had a better squad of players than every other team because of his strengths as a manager.
