    Narrow win for Trump in the deluded narcissistic press conference sweepstakes. By a nose.

    It's funny how you're managing to remember the few highlights from a terrible season 25 years ago but struggling to remember 7 seasons of brilliant football and sacks of trophies which ended less than 15 years ago.

    I had a season ticket in 92/93 but mercifully it was my first year at Uni so I didn't have to sit through that much but I remember the bits I did see. Man it was awful.
    We only won 15 out of 42 league games and finished the season in 10th place, 7 points off the relegation zone.
    We only scored 40 league goals in those 42 league games.
    From mid-November till the end of the season we P27 W6 D9 L12 in the league, scoring 18 goals.
    And this was a season you "thoroughly enjoyed" because of a few admittedly good cup triumphs (which were also awful games of football by the way but I guess when you've pub-teamed a 1-0 in the FA Cup Semi-Final vs Spurs you don't care too much about the quality).

    As I said, I don't think Wenger has the ability to do better but I do believe he wants to deeply. Unlike the board who are quite happy to sit back and count the money.
    Why is any of this relevant?

    Who is top of the league right now? Where were they at this stage last season? What did they do to correct the problem? They sacked a manager that had previously brought them sack loads of trophies. This isn't marriage, it's competitive sport. And Wenger hasn't been doing charity work all this time.

    What else is there to debate any more?

    Apart from religion of course and I haven't ignored your post in BW, I will reply

    We apparently have to tolerate mediocrity because he can't bear to tear himself away from football

    So essentially we have it confirmed, our manager is putting his own interests before that of the club
    I think I'll be gone at the end of the season if he stays though. Not as any sort of futile protest, but more because I can't see myself being able to muster the enthusiasm to go through the tiresome and predictable cycle all over again.

    I don't think you'll be the only one frankly.

    Keep saying it, if Wenger doesn't go then the only thing which will change things is for a mass boycott. And while a near empty stadium at the Bayern game would send some message, the fact is they already have the money so, to an extent, they probably don't care. But season ticket renewal time is coming up, that's people's chance to vote with their wallets.

    How long is the waiting list now? Still very long I heard. I imagine they'd be delighted if the troublesome fans (who, after all, are to blame for all the problems) shipped out and more friendly consumer types walked in. It's not personal (by any stretch), it's just business.

    Hope he stays
    NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.
