Where are the Wenger out brigade right now?
Bit early but another month like this and we'l start to really look like champions in the making.
PL games cant come soon enough and all with so many players still to come back.
The idea of sacking wenger surely seems very silly and shortsighted.
I was one of the Gooners that was critical of Wenger. Many of us acted out of frustration and I feel that our criticism of Wenger acted as a catalyst for Arsene and the board to strengthen the team. The acquisition of Ozil could well have acted as a lightening rod for many of our players. We showed ambition by getting a world class player and writing a cheque for an unheard of + 40 million pounds. The players in turn started to perhaps believe even more in their respective abilities.Originally Posted by The Ogg Monster

So, we are still here to push and cajole Wenger to strengthen even further so that we can heap scorn on the spuds, manure, chavski et al.
Early days still and I think it is late October into early November where we have a tricky run don't we? Still only 6 games gone in the league.
Dortmund
Palace
Chelsea
Liverpool
Dortmund
Man U
Southampton
That is a tricky run with the exception of Palace who don't seriously look like they can trouble us. Southampton have really impressed me though and have been good value for their good start so far. Things can change very quickly, which is not to say that I'm not positive (at this point in time), but we can still very much finish 5th and win nothing.
Regardless of the opposition, the funny part is looking ahead at the fixtures and thinking "Ah, fuck, we're at home".
Team needs to stand up and be counted during that run, if all our players haven't been burnt out at that point that is.
No need for gloating just yet.Where are the Wenger out brigade right now?

I will happily put my hand up and admit that I haven't been happy with Wenger and his player recruitment policy, but the signing of Ozil, and the improvement in the team has come as a welcome surprise.
In some ways, having all these injuries has also come as a blessing in disguise, because the likes of Cazorla & Theo should walk back into the team when fit, it will only makes us stronger.
Still early days, but the signs are very promising.
We STILL need to buy though, we are definitely short on numbers and quality in Attack and to a lesser extent Defence, but the foundations are there now and I can see progress.
Of course there is no need to gloat. You could just as easily turn around and say where are folks that wanted Stan/Gazidis/Board out?
Most people have been critical of the transfer policy for years and although it looks as though we’ve changed our approach, I still can’t understand why we couldn’t have done this 2/3 years? A class signing each year with a few bargain basement deals.
Gloating is the wrong word. I just dont understand people wanting Wenger out, at all.
He's a world class manager, and sacking him would be crazy.
Without Wenger we'd be below Spurs in the pecking order, probably we'd be an Everton type club, no chance of the PL and a tiny chance of the CL.
Anyway, the good thing is, he will never be sacked anyway, never, he will choose when he wants to go and hopefully its a long time away.
AW at least I love you!
Bordering on the ridiculous there, eh? Especially since you have absolutely no way of substantiating such a strong assertion.
I Should have said the chances are would be below them, going on money availiable a lesser manager would likely have us behind spurs. With all the money the pl has now I just think we're v lucky to have got wenger when we did and kept him, and if we hadnt, and hadnt arrived at the emirates I think we'd be far back in the pl, nearer everton.
And in response to another poster (dein machine), if we had of got another manager 99/100 he'd not have been Guardiola quality.
