Who signed RvP again?

The good legendary Arsene Wenger

Not the dumbass in it for the money one we have now

[Letters]

Arsene Wenger

Exactly.

[Cripps_orig]

Exactly.

The fact that you have to go all the way back to 2004 to find something good about Wenger pretty much says it all

[Letters]

And yet you were staunchly supporting him up until the tail end of last season, clearly you didn't think he'd done nothing good since 2004. But then I guess you thought turning on a sixpence and going from one extreme position to the opposite gave you better WUMming opportunities. I'll continue this debate with people who believe what they post.

End of 09/10 actually

The Wigan game.

Ive always said that.

Ah hiding behind the WUM thing when the debate has been lost. A classic Letters trait.

To be honest if ever there has been a manager who lives off reputation alone, it has to be Arsene Wenger. When we looked a serious doubt for the top 4, I still even read and heard pundits saying we'd be stupid to get rid of him and only he can make us great again etc. There seems to be this mythical aura around him, he is not talked about in the same vein as other managers who can be instantly fighting for their jobs at the first sign of bad form (ie. AVB).

People say no one is bigger than the club but the problem for us is that whether we like it or not, Wenger actually is. It's why some of us can't help but cling on by annually repeating the 'one more year' line. It's like we're stuck in a loveless marriage.

My issues don't stem from the lack of trophies alone, although we probably should have picked up a cup or 2 in recent years, but it's from the belief that when his teams get within touching distance of success or greatness, I'd bet my bottom dollar they won't pull through.

No one can dispute that AW 'had' an eye for spotting talent. However, a few seasons ago that eye got infected with cataract which has worsened as the seasons went by.

I'm not sure that's fair, it's just not as easy as it used to be when all the top clubs now have a worldwide scouting network. When Wenger came to us no-one knew the European or worldwide game like he did, now other clubs have caught up. He's certainly signed some duds but he did back in the day too. It's easier to overlook that when the trophies keep coming.
