    Nonsense?
    So the stadium move has in no way affected our dealings in the transfer market?
    Obviously the thing about an 'axis of evil' is nonsense, there's no 'conspiracy', but if you mean the billionaire-fuelled clubs then are you seriously suggesting their distortion and inflation of the transfer market and ability to build huge squads which make them immune to injuries are not a big factor in our failure to win trophies?

    It's possible that another manager would come in and do better but you're fooling yourself if you think someone else will come in and we'll sweep all before us. Whoever our manager is the billionaires will still be there and those clubs are incredibly difficult to compete with.

    FA cup and 3rd would be a successful season.

    Anything less and you'd have to call it a failure after the start we had.

    I agree if we achieve both of these, i would be more than happy for AW to sign a new contract

    What's the odds on Wenger fielding a very weak team for the FA Cup but full strength in the Champions League? Was just reading Le Grove and he suggested this is what Wenger might do when looking into his recent press comments.

    I'd be very surprised if we play a side much different to what we have seen in the FA Cup already, against Premier League teams.

    Very high to certain. Doubt it's only Wenger who would prioritise that way. Ask any of the players which game they'd rather play in. Maybe Jenks would say the FA Cup.

    Depends how much you value success I guess, putting your best team out in a tie that's all but gone in a competition you haven't a hope of winning could hardly be called a wise move.

    Better to ask players if they would rather play and win the FA Cup game and then play the CL game and lose or not play and potentially lose the FA Cup game and then play and lose in the CL.

    We're not gonna go through against Bayern and even if by some miracle Moses showed up parted their defence 3 times and earned us a 3 goal win, we still wouldn't win the competition, as there's several better sides still in it.

    The FA Cup still has one better side in it, however in a one off game in a neutral venue I guess it's possible we could upset the odds (I doubt it very much looking at our big match mentality but hey) however unlikely.

    We could get an unbiased ref. Bayern could have Robben sent off for all his diving and antics. Much could happen. It's way past time something went our way.

    As for the FA Cup - it's utterly worthless. Not even a shadow of the competition it used to be. It'd be a 5 minute wonder if we won it,

    I would settle for that right now.

    I have noticed that since people have calmed down since the weekend, the poll is levelling out.

    I was a bit harsh on Wenger over the weekend, but sometimes his team selection wears me down!

    I for one would not like to see Wenger leave under a dark cloud. If we manage third and win the FA Cup, he could leave with his head held high. Everyone's a winner!

    In the era of the billionaire clubs haven't Wigan and Swansea win cups, or in their case it's just flukes. Wenger has had 9x4 opportunities to win a fluke trophy and flunked. The only nonsense is the alternative reality you and the Wengerites have created for yourselves. He isn't going to win anything in the next 15 years that is a certainty. Heck we can't even win the Emirates cup anymore
