Give Wenger a contract extension.... obviously this performance shows he still has got it and can motivate the players, the previous few months have all had "reasons" where last night we had no excuses and won.

We won the FA Cup last season. Arsenal and Wenger put themselves in the record books with that one. I don't think that should have been enough to save his job but it might have been enough to convince out of touch Stan. The same might happen again if we win the Uefa Cup. I hope not. I suspect Stan has sent his son gets a sense of what's really happening at the club because he probably has no idea how bad things are.
I’d probably turn my nose up at another FA Cup just to get him out but never a European trophy. Though I agree Milan are shite and there’s plenty for us to do if we have any designs of winning this.
Also I’m not sure how much more damage can really be done, I think 6th is about as bad as it’s going to get. Let’s be honest as well, as much as Wenger is finished, winning the EL is not an easy thing to do, so it would be an achievement worthy of respect.
If he were to get a new contract, which I don’t think is going to happen anyway then yes there might be some regret in wanting to win this competiton. I can take one final year of the old goat though if he won this, what’s another season when you’ve been miserable for as long as you can remember anyway?

Me too. I don’t think we will win it anyway, there are some pretty decent teams still in it who are more than capable of knocking us out. TBH I think Atletico Madrid are clear favourites, I wouldn’t fancy us beating them in either a Final or 2 leg game as they are genuinely superior to us in every position and are having a very good season.
I was actually cheering the team on and happy when we scored last night, it was a hilarious game tbh.
Meeeelan were fucking shocking in front of goal, they should have won by 5 or 6 tbf.
After half time I was pissed off though, as soon as I heard the comments of 'they have stopped the rot' then reality set in and Wenger looked good again.
Fuck off you shit old bastard![]()
If we win the Europa League then how bad are things? That will be 4 trophies in 5 years.
I don't think we will win it, my dream scenario is we win it and Wenger then leaves, it would be his last chance to do so with a scrap of dignity.
As bad as things have been this season I honestly think a better manager would see us up there challenging, this is not a bad squad at all. Wenger is not getting the best out of them but there's makings of a team who could challenge almost anyone (well, not this year's City, but no-one is getting near them this year)
Every season we are going through these ridiculous bad runs of form
Since December we have won 9 games drawn 6 and lost 9, that on its own should be enough to have him out of a job
Plus the fact is two seasons out of the champions league will start affecting our spending power significantly. It feels like this club is being intentionally run into the ground at times.
Wenger gets 10million a year to steward this nonsense because his ego demands that he gets that money
He keeps up this narrative about turning down other clubs to remain at Arsenal as if he deserves some loyalty
I’m not saying this for effect, Milan had less about them than Brighton and looked only marginally better than Ostersunds when we played them in Sweden. Despite that I’m being told that we have stopped the rot?
If we win and Wenger leaves, great. But do you see Wenger walking away? Also, they could still offer him a new contract and not sack him if we win it. We're in bad shape if I'm hoping for a loss just to see him sacked and would even take a loss in a cup final to see that happen. That's bad. I'm not watching games like I used to. I refuse to go the Emirates for any game despite being offered tickets. If this goes on any longer it come to the point where I won't watch or follow at all.
How could I say I support Arsenal if it gets to that? I'm on the edge already and not the only one. If he gets another contract the disgust I'd have for this club would be overwhelming. It's bad enough being in a position where we're having to hound Wenger out. Arsene Wenger! I hate to see fans bad mouthing legends like Adams, Dixon, Keown, Wright, Henry....it's really bad and goes to show that it runs deeper than a lack of trophies.
There's an A.C. Milan fan at work
