Well, no. Agree with what you agree with, disagree with what you disagree with.
Disagreeing with or criticising EVERYTHING someone says or does, even if you agree with it...well, that's just silly.

It just happens that most of what Wenger says is cr*p hence the reason I disagree with him.

I don't disagree for the sake of it btw, just don't believe in the things he says and does.

I've seen you criticise him for saying things which are pretty much impossible to dispute or disagree with, it certainly comes across as if you have a go at him WHATEVER he does now just on principle.

Not really, I don't necessarily always dispute what he says, more the fact he keeps going on about others rather than keeping quiet and focussing on his job with his team.

IMO he often comes out and criticises others (rightly and wrongly) but fails to apply the same rules to his team/squad, some will say it's to protect them/ will affect morale etc.....it's been proved that not saying anything has no benefits however so I think he should be more openly critical when necessary.

The stuff about Man City is true, but he complains about others all the time and yet ignores what us the fans are more concerned about....the problems at our club.

I am curious how you state this so categorically? You have access to the club's bank accounts?

I was being sarcastic - we have plenty of money to spend. Not as much as Citeh and Chelsea of course, but there's no reason we couldn't spend 50M in a summer (on a collection of players not one).

As for the bank accounts, everyone in the public has access to the club's financial statements, which amounts to the same thing...

Apologies Boss. No excuse for missing the sarcasm but I have seen far too many people go on about the lack of funds in other fora.

As an aside, but related to the money situation, a friend suggested the following: Sell Fabregas and Nasri (in excess of 50 million according to news reports), and re-invest the money and their combined salaries in getting Aguero.
