Should Wenger go?

[Syn]

I think he's talking about the game against Chelsea in '04, Wayne Bridge's goal and all that. But if he is talking about the CL final in '06 - nobody 'failed' or 'bottled it' that day. As crazy as it sounds, sometimes, a good team can beat another good team without either team being shit. It was a courageous performance under difficult circumstances.

So we're agreed, Wenger should definitely stay, phew.

i think the "i told you so" types are getting too giddy now. Saying he should have been out in 04 is thick. I think anybody who wanted him out before 09 was totally wrong. There was too much uncertainty on the money issue and 07-08 was a magificent team.

Look at the line up from that 07/08 team, they're all gone apart from RVP and Rosicky, that was only 4 years ago and the squad had been turned over. Is it any wonder why we never seem to aquire a bit of stability.

Wenger is building a team for the future who are the best group of players he has ever had and only 2% away from domination.

Because he signed a contract and he has integrity. He has shown that throughout his career.
As for whether he loves the club, you can see that however much our decline is hurting us it's hurting him more. You can SEE it. Look at him on the touchline, he's in pain. Whether he's the right man to do anything about it, I agree he isn't. But whether anyone else can with our idiot board is highly debatable.
I don't think he backs the owners any more than he really thinks our squad is super, super quality. But he's not going to say anything publicly. Maybe he should but if nothing else he's a man of principle.

Integrity? What is the integrity in going hand in hand with the daylight looting of the club he loves?! You say he loves the club, if he does, the best thing to do is quit. Or is his 'integrity' that you talk about more important than the club he loves?

I do see him in pain. He is in pain because he is a stubborn man who is seeing his deluded principles break down one brick at a time. The more I think about his demise as a football manager, the more I come to the realization that most of our success was because of Dein being behind his arse. I wonder what we wouldve won if Dein wasnt there at our club from 98-2004!

Wenger said: 'People are always asking the same question, but the first trophy is to finish in the top four and that is still possible for us. I believe that is vital for us, so let’s focus on that.

'We have what it takes at the club and we will add what it takes. But at the moment I believe we are not making plans for next season, we are making plans for the next game.

'We have what it takes when everybody is available, because we are missing big, big players.

'When you think we are in mid-February and Wilshire and Diaby have zero games, Mertesacker is out for the rest of the season, Santos is out for three months, that would be difficult for any club in the world to deal with. It’s hard enough to lose one or two players and we have lost too many.

People will focus on the '4th place is the first trophy' comment. The thing that winds me up - and I don't know why it still does - is the comment on "missing big, big players".

We always fucking have big, big players out. Imagine for a second that we had the big player out (no, not Santos or Arshavin). Imagine if Van Persie was injured. It's hard to imagine us appearing in the first page of ceefax 324. Planning your league campaign on the idea that you won't miss your big, big players is ludicrous. Especially when you consider our injury record in recent years. It's not a fucking coincidence. Sort it the fuck out or resign.

The first trophy is to finish in the top 4?
