I have largely wanted him to go for five years, but there's no question I wanted him to go with our praise ringing in his ears.
I was pissed for a minute but it's more sadness than anything else, watching a club legend cling on like this and go to battle with the fans. There was an excellent point made on the Arsecast yesterday by Tim Stillman, in terms of the type of fan that goes to the game. His reckoning is that maybe up to 40% of the fans won't even realise there is a protest happening this weekend because they are not wrapped up in the 24/7 intensity of Internet and media coverage. They go to a game as an escape, maybe have a couple of drinks after and then go home to families and get on with life. That's where I try to keep football. I read a lot about it and come on here most days but won't allow it to control my feelings, I watch our games and hope we do well but it won't dement me if not. Age probably has something to do with that too I guess. It's still an escape for me and while I agree with nearly all the criticism of Wenger, it is just very sad to see it panning out this way.
