Summer Transfer Misery 2017/18

[The Emirates Gallactico]

And for Zim to say it's been 7 years good and 13 years bad is a ridiculous over-simplification.

Wasn't Zim (or Zimmerman FC) moaning about Wenger & Gilberto back during the invincible era back on the old BBC 606 boards?

Constantly.

Can't even remember my 606 name

Might have been this, might have been something else

Does anyone remember Mad Dog, borderline sociopath?

I can't stand borderline sociopaths, nor anyone that can't commit.

And a good chunk of the current fanbase (especially overseas) who pump money into the club, started supporting the club due the success brought by Wenger in the late 90's/early 00's.

Without the success he generated then, it wouldn't have been as easy to modernise the club (new training ground, stadium etc), improve our global reputation & appeal and to consequently attract large corporate sponsors.




I imagine this will evoke howls of fury & derision from you but I genuinely believe that unlike a shithead like Kroenke, Wenger does passionately love the club. Even right now.

It's more that he's deluded himself into believing that he still has capabilities & knowhow to fix the problems and to make Arsenal great again (tm). #MAGA And with no authority figure to keep him in check at the club tell him otherwise he'll continue to believe that. He's a fool, but at least he's an honest fool.

I mean if he really didn't care it would be incredibly easy for him to walk away. It's clear he's not in it for the money - I mean he's already earned more money then he'd be capable of spending in the years he has left alive and he doesn't have any financial dependents to provide for. He suffers barrages of abuse and ridicule from the fans and the media and still puts up with daily and comes into work every day because he feels he can still do the job.

You mean a good chunk of the Wenger cultists? Fuck them, tbf. I'm talking about real fans.

Wenger loves this club? Show me the proof and compare it to the reality.

Nah just get some crowd funding going with St Louis fans to hire an Assassin via the deep web

Someone whose happy to be paid in bit coins.

Probably safer making the arrangements on GW.

Yes.

Yes he was.

And this is why Zim can fuck right off if he thinks he's been vindicated.
He's been whining forever. It's what he does.
Whineo Ergo Sum is the Zim family motto.
Now we finally have something worth whining about he's all "told you!". Oh piss off.

Oh for god sake NQ, you don't need to have lived on Avenell road for your entire life or have been initiated by parents & grandparents who were Arsenal Season Ticket Holders in the past be a "real fan".

A lot of kids and overseas fans of football, who weren't affiliated with a club at the time, became enamoured with The Arsenal and chose to support them based on the success generated by Wenger during the late 90's and 00's. That's how it is - success generates new fans especially during an era where the PL has exploded in popularity. Most of these fans will continue to support the club for the rest of their lives and even get their offspring to do so and it's partly the growth of these fans that have helped contribute to making the club the mega global brand it is these days.

And it has nothing to with them being Wenger cultists - heck most of them I've seen are on the same page as you and I and want Wenger out. Whereas you get people like geoffarsenal (the guy on that podcast) who's been a Londoner all his life and supported the club for decades, who is one of the biggest Wenger champions around.

It also doesn't help the cause.

One of the reasons the BSM weren't taken seriously in their early days despite them warning about Kroenke and the direction of the club before the shit really hit the fan was that you had people like Zim in their midst who were just full with venomous hatred for the manager, saying ridiculous hyperbolic stuff like ...... "Wenger is the worst manager in Arsenal history" or "Wenger couldn't manage a pub team" ......... so you had a lot of average Arsenal fans thinking they were just nutters.

People just don't do nuance anymore.
