Redknapp to Arsenal

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Seriously?! Harry fucking Crooknapp? Seriousfuckingly guys?

Is that what we've come to? Seriously?

And there is an actual debate over this? Fucking seriously?

Seriousmotherfuckingly? A 16 page thread thus far over Harry Scumknapp? Seriously?

Piers must have been using some kind of reverse psycology. Knows very well the strong anti-wenger sentiments and just made it seem like he casually tossed out the possibility of the lowest imaginable form a human being potentially replacing Wenger.

Good one Piers, how much did Wenger pay you for such ingenuity? I'm all for Wenger staying on as manager now ffs. Harry fucking Redknapp? Seriously?

he signed saha and nelson in january last year. where are they now? taht was a waste of time, and hardly transfers to light the owrld up. who else has he signed? adebayor on loan? hardly a proven player, just a ****. those signings were not ones made by someone trying to improve the club.

aslo outside influences were of his own making, his tax dealings shouldnt have been dodgy in the first place, or dodgy enough for them to be looked at. his fault. no one else's

Let's not go into dud signings because Wenger has a fair list in recent years.

He was found not guilty at the end of the day, if someone is accused of murder and a found not guilty would you still call him a murderer?

Lots of people. Wenger isn't the team, he's a guy paid handsomely to deliver profits and he does it very well....what he doesn't do is care about the fans or what happens on the pitch.

I think from a fans point of view there is no argument for anyone employing Wenger, he's shown he's failed, his teams no longer play good football and all his priority is finances over football.

Redknapp is neither here nor there, Wenger offers no advantage over him IMO.

Except the advantages he's actually delivered in terms of higher league placings and CL football. Maybe not enough in terms of our recent history but magnitudes better than Arry has delivered. You would swap something you consider inadequate for something inferior? That doesn't make sense.

I walk a lonely road, the only one that I have ever known, don't know where it goes but it's home to me and I walk alone.

A winter's day
In a deep and dark December;
I am alone,
Gazing from my window to the streets below
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow.
I am a rock,
I am an island.

I've built walls,
A fortress deep and mighty,
That none may penetrate.
I have no need of friendship; friendship causes pain.
It's laughter and it's loving I disdain.
I am a rock,
I am an island.
Don't talk of love,
But I've heard the words before;
It's sleeping in my memory.
I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died.
If I never loved I never would have cried.
I am a rock,
I am an island.

I have my books
And my poetry to protect me;
I am shielded in my armor,
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb.
I touch no one and no one touches me.
I am a rock,
I am an island.

And a rock feels no pain;
And an island never cries.

Other way around really. We're amazingly lucky to have had Wenger come here. Maybe things are so great now but without Wenger think of what we would have missed out on. The irony is it's that magnificence hanging him out to dry now. He set the standards so high he can't get close to them. Nobody can by the way, not even the modern day Barcelona. If we'd have had a Redknapp in instead we'd all be sitting here creaming it about how great it was to be 4th.

Not really, he was a nobody at some nothing club.....what a chance for him to manage one of England's biggest clubs. His achievements early on were great, but you do have to question how much influence he really did have having seen the last 7 years unravel in the way they have......did he just sign the right players and inherit real top characters and leaders from Graham....the fact he's been unable to replicate that suggests that the players at the time had a massive influence on his success, maybe more so that him.

if you look at wengers signings from last year and compare them to redknapps. merts, arteta, chamberlain etc are more signs of ambition then redknapps adebayor, saha and nelson

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wenger was lucky to be at Arsenal as well, he was a nobody. What about the argument about entertainments....Wenger isn't entertaining in any way.

I daresay Wenger had achieved more before 1996 than 'Arry had before 2008, especially given their respective ages from those two dates.

You will derive more entertainment from watching other sides concede and score many goals because you don't support that team compounded with seeing our team become worse. Our matches might be filled with less quality these days but I am fairly sure most supporters of other clubs would say our games (generally) are entertaining in the same way you think 'Arry's teams are.

His teams have displayed everything in a football match you condemn Wenger for not being able to sort only with even greater collapses.

For all you wanting Harry, you'd only slag him off in 3 months if he did not meet your expecations. Just like you did With AVB. Not sure why you cared so much about what he was doing at Chavs tbh.

Heck you even said last week You were So happy when he left Chelsea.

[Özim]

No its not, But its a cup none od the teams give a shit about and if had the choice not to take part none would. Of course if you get in a final you want to win it. However the top club heck even the readings don't care for it much. Hence why they never play strong teams.

The top teams have won it, if they didn't give a sh*t they'd play their kids all the time, Chelsea, Man U etc have all played strong teams at some point.

Same could be said about Ferguson then. He's just a guy living off the genius of his players. I have to say though, I doubt it was Tony Adams or Paul Merson who suggested the team refrain from getting pissed before a match and cut out the burgers at half time. You;ve reached a point where you refuse to give Wenger credit for anything so your argument today is obviously just a wind up session.
