If he suggested it in 2006 i can imagine he was ridiculed.Originally Posted by Chippy
That old poster Ashburton 2006 gently suggested years ago that Wenger was shit and needed to go, but he became an outcast
It would have been a bit like saying Federer was terrible in 2006 after winning 9 out of the last 14 grand slams
It was suggested in around 2012 TBH
Quite.That old poster Ashburton 2006 gently suggested years ago that Wenger was shit and needed to go, but he was raging spurs fan
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
then you are talking nonsense, this place was majority anti Wenger even five years ago.It was suggested in around 2012 TBH
I can't do a Tennis equivalent, but I can with boxing.
It's like somebody questioning Amir Khan's defence and chin just before facing Prescott. Khan hadn't faced any heavy hitters and once he did he was exposed and knocked out.
Some of the criticism about Wenger years ago may have been a bit OTT but a lot of truth in what was said back then. I still remember the backlash when I said Wenger was a poor tactician.
Ashburton was often accused of being a Spurs fan. He's not talking rubbish. Most people here wanted Wenger in around 2012.
Really?....I always thought that was a given (that Wenger was at the very most basic tactically)
You could always get at Federer's back hand even back in 2006, and on a slow surface like Clay Nadal used to Muller Federer this way
(proved by the fact that Federer faced Nadal five times at Roland Garros including four finals and lost every time).
But there is a difference between pointing out someone's weaknesses and saying they are useless.
Wenger had many weaknesses that were evident in 2006, he dithered in the transfer market.....despite getting to the champions league final.....we had gone through a league season losing 11 games where he hadn't replaced Vieira and we were losing games 1-0 all over the shop for the next season or so because we literally had no supply up to our front line in many games.
But there was certainly no cause to sack him at that time.
I was here i remember it, and although there was still a significant amount of Wenger fans here, the majority feeling especially when games went against us was that he should go.
But don't believe me, the match reactions can be found back in 2012.
The polls taken never reflected that. This is the one season where almost everyone has voted for him to go.
Ashburton2006 was ridiculed because he only posted on here when we had bad results and came across as a WUM.
