RIP Arsenal

I wonder how the AST meeting will go? The survey they did showed pretty much unanimous support for Wenger stepping down.
I think they also wanted assurances about a director of football, transfers, etc too.
I know they have as much sway as the rest of the doddering old cunts on the board but hopefully, someone brings a big bag of dogshit to throw at Arsene & Ivan.
That's how I see it. You can't really disentangle supporting the manager and the players. Especially if the players are behind him. And at times this year it's seemed like they weren't but if Sanchez does stay it will surely show he does have faith in Wenger and the reactions after the Cup Final looked like manager and players were a fairly tight unit.Quote:

I hate to say it but looks like the FA cup final was a real curse for us, a result we may be rueing for years
Wenger will have probably stayed but i don't think he will have been able to avoid a confrontation with the board to make him accept changes.
The Great Reset is well underway for another season. We're already hearing the bold cries of, "You can't do that at the START of a season!". Some fans don't seem to get that if you keep behaving the same way then you'll get the same result. Meanwhile, Stan and Arsene make up the rules as they go. But you have the "real" fans out there, telling everyone what can and can't be done. These are the same "real" fans who break into chants of "One Arsene Wenger" when push comes to shove. Entitled to their opinion but, fuck them anyway. They are ruining this club.
Yeah the way I see it there's no reason no to demonstrate throughout the match, not the players fault but at the end of the day the owner and manager don't give a damn so why should the fans, it's not like we're going to be competing for anything decent anyway so why should we care?
Best way would be to have a emptyish stadium every match of course, but that just isn't going to happen realistically, so the only other method is to make your feelings clear, sure Wenger will blame the fans etc, but he already does when anything goes wrong and quite frankly who cares what he thinks, his opinions are borderline ridiculous anyway, noone takes him seriously these days, opposition fans want him to stay on so they can see us fail year on year
Everyone believes the FA cup win was the trigger for this sad announcement. But the cup final was also the final match of the season, and I think that's always when they intended to announce what had been decided all season. I think what has surprised our lords and masters is the fans sticking their noses in and raising their voices at the uncertainty a failure to announce Wenger's fate was causing. Wenger and the gang would have initially had no concept of mere pleb fans being interested in "our affairs", so I guess the "disrespectful" baying of the unwashed came as a surprise. We're supposed to cheer when the team wins and stay quiet when they lose. Just as the board cheers when Wenger has a plan and shuts the fuck up when he invariably doesn't. Wenger said as much - be more like spud fans. His cynical calls for fans to "get behind the team", when there wasn't a single banner or plane displaying "Time for the team to leave".Quote:

This has created the corrosive atmosphere poor Arsene has had to deal with. Oh, and the team that ran its bollocks off for a trophy but jogged through the season, well those poor lambs were affected too. So says their daddy, even if players like Bellerin have relayed an entirely different story.
When the voices of the grubby fans became intolerable, then we started hearing about directors of football and almost signing Mbappe and Arsene being personally aggrieved than plebs had found the audacity to question his years of mediocrity.
Off we go again. Round and around. A manager and board completely out of touch, a fanbase divided between those who can see 10-2 defeats and 18 point deficits for what they really are and the rest who believe it is impolite to scream when their anus is tearing.

The announcement would have been made this week irregardlessQuote:

Do you think he'd have done that had Kroenke come and watched us getting spanked?
