He's not as weak as the others you mention. Neither is he a pisshead, a fucking Tory cunt or a raving homicidal maniac.

In truth, you can't just separate Wenger from the board and analyse him in isolation. Both are one and the same in terms of the end result, ultimately whether on the pitch or off it. The both believe football should be run their way. That's not a critical problem, but it becomes one when they ignore the fact football is not run their way but persist with their incompatible methods anyway. Then they take the moral high ground after the inevitable failures. Whether Wenger and the board are fucking the club for the same or different reasons I don't know. All I know is they are fucking the club. Wenger does it unintentionally as a by-product of his stubbornness and, to a degree, arrogance - I think. The board does it because it is comprised of horrendously greedy cunts who should be murdered and then disposed of in an acid bath.


Yes - I'll buy that. Both parties clearly have their part to play, and from where I'm sitting Wenger has no agenda, whereas the board is more likely to.

But the point I was making about Cloughie; Blair and Thatcher is that they, and Wenger, all have one thing in common. They started off great, and ultimately lost direction because they lost perspective and objectivity. Clough ended up being relegated; Blair took us to war in Iraq and Thather was undone by the poll tax.
