Arsene Wenger on missing out on the Champions League for the first time in 20 years: "It is annoying but we had a spell during the season that was difficult and it was difficult for me in my personal situation. We were playing in a hostile environment. The players came back stronger in the last two months and I'm very proud of them for doing that.
"I was focused on my job. I am professional. I love this club enough to do my best every single day. One thing you cannot question is my love for this club. I've turned down every club in the world to stay here."
Fakeyank, NQ, Ozim. I put the blame squarely on you 3 for creating an environment where Wenger and his boys could not perform.
Out! ,Out!, Out!
Make 2mrw better than 2day
I have to take it on the chin, yes it was all down to me NQ and FY, it was all down to the hostile environment, the players and manager absolutely must be absolved of any responsibility, poor things have a hard life as it is.
So we miss out on the CL, who gives a toss, haven't enjoyed it for years anyway, hopefully the Europe League will be more enjoyable and we'll finally see the back of Wenger (and Kroenke). It's been a car crash season, the culmination of years of complacency, eventually it has to catch up with you and this year it finally has after many years when we scraped into the top 4.
Hoping for big changes in the summer but not holding my breath.
Blaming the fans for a run of eight defeats in eighteen games
Probably just as well he stayed away from doing a lap of honour.
I'll judge it at the end of next Saturday![]()
Although... 4 more points than last season.
Progress![]()
JUDGED
Für eure Sicherheit
The environment was horrendous for the players? Good luck to them if they played for Real,Barca or Bayern. Their fans turn on players after one bad game.
Enough excuses Wenger - you failed. Failed in your own criteria for success. The fans criteria was never even to just finish in the top four, our criteria is to challenge for trophies. Please fuck off.
For years he has failed to meet the realistic criteria set by fans; compete for major honours. Now he has failed to meet his own criteria.
But he just won't leave because he won't accept any responsibility. It is always someone else's fault.
This season it's our fault because we don't want to support the same dross every season. It's also other teams fault because they have checked out for the season and lost to Liverpool costing us his cherished position of being the third best loser.
Seriously it's other teams fault for not taking enough points off Liverpool.
How about if we had just bothered to take one point from them? Whose fault is that?
I'm fucking sick of the sight and the sound of Wenger. My first season in London in 26 year where I haven't gone to a single game.
I won't be back next season either.
Fuck this shit.
