    I didn't see Liverpool as unwinnable. I do see Utd at Old Trafford as pretty much unwinnable and top 4 is going to be a real battle this year if we don't sign some quality. Still think we'll finish top 6 though. Wouldn't rule out top 4, long way to go yet.

    the point i am making is that it shouldn't be unwinnable, we shouldn't be looking at any premier league fixture and thinking we are definitely going to lose this, simply top four should be a disappointment and top six should be unthinkable.

    I doubt any of us thought we had no chance of winning when we went to Old Trafford last December, and we had injuries then (how else would have szczesny got his first team place).....

    Ask me again after the next 10 days or so. If he does the unthinkable and signs no one then it would be very, very hard to support his actions.

    We were never a laughing stock because of this, he made a mistake and paid for it. Personally don't think it was that bad.

    If anything our club is more of a laughing stock right now, due to all the troubles.

    Wenger has got loads of respect based on what he achieved and rightly so, but Graham achieved a lot too, we won a fair few trophies under him and he laid the foundations for Wenger's early successes. He doesn't get enought credit for the job he did, whilst also spending next to nothing incidentally.

    Was past it a couple years ago.

    Should have gone then and has only deteriorated much further since then so the answer remains the same, he needs to gtfo.

    If he ambles on and nobody of note or substantial quality is brought in over the next 10 days then I would like him to step down.

    Whilst I don't want to shoulder Wenger with all of the blame I do think he is the major decision maker in regards to the technical aspects of the team, essentially he is the one who chooses who to buy with the funds he has available. If we were that broke we wouldn't have splashed out close to 15million on a 17 year old prospect, one who is not likely to play a major role in the team for quite some time.

    For me Wenger has 10 days to save our season.

    somebody mentioned the other day that the lack of spending and lumping together of funds is for any new manager that is needed to be brought in........

    that would make sense but surely that is the same as giving Wenger absolutely no chance from the off

    do hails back thow Wenger became our manager, Rioch kind of got shafted with the only thing left to his credit was he was allowed to be in charge when King Denis signed

    You're right of course and in the days when we were title contenders then no fixture was unwinnable and I would actively expect us to go there and do no worse than draw. Sadly those days are behind us, for now at least, but I don't see a defeat at Old Trafford as much of an indication as to how we'll do this year. Let's see where we are by Christmas.

    the point being that we should be title contenders, there is no reason why we are going backwards....financially we are not in Everton's predicament so if we are no longer able to challenge for honours, it's the fault of the manager. And by that logic, whilst he is still here things won't improve....and things MAY not improve if we replace him, but it's better to take the risk instead of giving this deluded vainglorious man more time to take us further backwards.
