the fact taht so many people got angry at wenger after hearing the brainwash comment, before reading the whole quote proves his point. everyone got angry, then read it and calmed down. weneger doesnt help himself at times and shouldnt talk but the media do just cherry pick his quotes to suit their agendas. this is case and point.Quote:

Suggesting someone is getting brainwashed is pretty patronising in whatever context you put it in, most haven't been brainwashed they've seen the club being sh*t on the pitch and being sh*t off the pitch, it's nothing to do with the media.Quote:

Maybe the fans should counter his brainwash claim by telling him he's been in his own little deluded Wenger bubble for 8 years now.
There's kids that still believe in Santa, doesn't mean he exists....we have no chance of getting Rooney no matter how much we believe (not so long ago he believed we could still get Suarez). If we wanted Cesar you'd think we'd have snapped him up by now, he's been available all summer.Quote:

A week to go and we're still being linked with players we're not going to get or really don't need. How about some realistic targets for a change, ones to fill weak positions on the team.
The full quote you posted does nothing to dilute the statement. He still thinks the media are the caused the fans anger, not his obstinate humbug about trying to prove, he can do without improving his squad and still compete with the other teams going for the league. The man is obsessed with himself. If he does not buy anyone now, by March we will be out of all competitions and people like you will be telling us to wait till end of the season when he will definitely buy players.Quote:

It's embarrassing to think that the only way we'll get top 4 this season is cos of another Spuds collapse rather than our own doing cos Spuds will not collapse one season and then we'll be fucked. This might be the season.
We need players in asap
This is a language thing, he doesn't mean brainwashing in the normal, "This is the BBC", sense. He means the endless repetition of filler fluff which then finds its way into the fans' vocabulary. I'm guessing the lack of trophies is a much bigger problem for the media than the fans. From what I can tell we want to see entertaining and competitive football that warrants the very high prices being demanded. It's good though if people are angry at the suggestion they are brainwashed because it's rare to find somebody who isn't, maybe not in terms of sport but certainly in terms of news, history, etc, etc. I do hope people are as angry about that because it's much more important and really does become a matter of life and death on many occasions.
