    No but then again if he can't make something palatable out of cheaper ingredients probably shouldn't have been given the keys to the pantry in the first place.
    We can blame injuries, or lack of quality as much as we like but we know that this guy can't deliver no matter how much he was given to spend

    Good analogy.

    Why keep going to a restaurant with a dodgy chef that serves up weekly dishes of food poisoning? Notice in the pic how the chairs are empty? It’s getting to the point where the Board and fans have to take some sort of action.

    There was clearly a risk of that. What I really don't understand is why we're so crap going forward, so slow and laboured. We have plenty of quality in midfield and up front. Ramsey is suddenly rubbish again, Ozil is patchy at best, only Sanchez is doing the biz.

    But we haven't been

    EDIT: Liverpool are an example of a club who are 'trying to overtake us'. Have they managed to? Last year plenty of people spent all season lauding Rodgers, some of us were suggesting that there were some factors in Liverpool's success such as not being in Europe and having one player who was in ridiculous form. They lost said player and now they're in Europe and they've been even crapper than us, astonishingly. Spurs too have spent plenty of money trying to overtake us and never succeeded.

    I definitely couldn't see us being so shite this season. I wouldn't go as far as to say I expected us to progress, but I was certainly hopeful.

    The lack of cover at CB was a glaring mistake that everyone bar Wenger could see. But apart from that we had a lot going for us in terms of momentum from the FA Cup and signing some good players in the summer. This is our strongest squad we've had for many years, even with the injuries, and the fact it is so badly underperforming only points to one person.

    Oh Wenget, what have you done.

    Couldn't agree more although I think in this case the Chef certainly deserved the pantry keys in his early years. Forget all the obvious things regarding money, arrogamce, tactics etc - there isnt a job in the world that you can do better at 60 than when you were 40.

    Everything has been said and repeated ad nauseum. Letters doesn't like the fact that quite a few of us told anyone who could listen that Wenger in an inadequate manager who more often than not gets lucky and scrambles over the line rather than marches over. You can check the old Goonersweb forum, the arguments to and against Wenger are no different to what we have today, only that the pro Wenger believers were more vocal back then. Many of us told you that we would NOT progress as a club under Wenger simply because he is too dogmatic, inflexible and more than anything does not want to compete. Most top managers are driven by the will to win, but that isn't the case with Wenger. He makes up his own parameters for success and tenders the final judgement that whatever he achieves is the highest possible for the club. He is a cowardly man who has found the perfect oasis for never do wells under a board of ineptitude.
    Screaming and shouting at the sidelines when things are going wrong does not show a will to win only a frustration that the game he played out in his head is not materialising on the pitch. If you do not plan for a win as we mostly do. It is most likely you wont.

    This is simply "Sentence of the year" on GW. Its so good it could be from a Shakespeare play - oh & by the way every bit of it 100% on the button.
