Well...he is bloody frustrating at times but after a shaky start it was a #decent league season, we got some good results in big games and won the Cup. Can he push us on? Can anyone else?
Should he stay or should he go...?
Wenger In!
Wenger Out!

Back to back FA cup wins. Slowly moving up the league. Increased spending on genuine quality. There's really only one option.
Wenger OUT!!
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.
12 FA Cups for Arsenal, half of those under Wenger’s reign. He is maddening at times but I wouldn’t sack him right now. We’ve finally got a squad which can seriously challenge – I felt for Villa having to deal with Sanchez, Carzola and Ozil in midfield. Wenger has his faults but so will the next guy and they’ll probably be more serious faults – some of the names bandied around to replace him are laughable.
I don't think many managers would have kept their jobs at a club at our level during all those trophyless years, but I don't think many managers would be getting the sack after the last 2 years with back to back FA Cups either.
I said I'd be satisfied if we retained the cup and I am. So it would be churlish to go on again about where his weaknesses lie at this point in time, however if we're nowhere near competing for the league and CL again next season, then he can expect the same criticism to come his way and rightly so too.
I pledge allegiance to Arsene of the house Wenger, the first of his name, King of the Andals, the Rhoynar and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm
This squad is good enough to seriously challenge for the PL. You can maybe use the World Cup hangover as a bit of an excuse this year but it didn't affect Chelsea, the poor start to the season was baffling. When they got it together though they were as good as anyone and I finally feel we have a squad strong enough to compete. No excuses next year, we have to seriously challenge or #WengerOut.
The CL is difficult with teams like Bayern, Barca dn Real around but we shouldn't be running scared of anyone, we should be giving anyone a game.
Wenger In, for me. We're building up a bit of momentum, two trophies in two years after all the barren years. It's time to step up and win the big ones.
Even if we don't step up next year and the cries of "Wenger out" grow louder, I'm pleased for him that his time with us hasn't ended with 10 trophyless years.
12 FA Cups for Arsenal, 6 of them under Wenger. It's pretty impressive.
He is with us until 2017 at least whether we like it or not, but I have to say I think currently and it's a very fluid issue it would merely be replacing him for the sake of it.
I think this summer will be a poor window for us and the squad will be short to to compete with Chelsea. For what is required these days, he's not ruthless enough to build a team that can get 85-90 points. He needs to get rid of one of Szczesny or Ospina and look to bring in a top GK. If one isn't available, then gamble on the next De Gea. He needs to get rid of Flamini or Arteta and bring in a top class defensive midfielder. Possibly do the same with Gibbs as he hasn't improved at all despite staying mostly injury free. He needs to get rid of all his loaned out players and get a top striker (again if none is available, he has to gamble...but on someone who genuinely looks to have a lot of talent, not Sanogo or Welbeck).
Tactically I don't have many complaints. He has taken more care for the big games and we look more competitive now. But it's annoying that he can't get his players to understand how 2 legged CL ties work.
But after Man Utd, Chelsea, Man City, Real Madrid, PSG etc. have taken their targets, on the off chance a top player becomes available late in the window, Wenger's reputation does help to bring them here. I'm not sure Ozil or Sanchez would be here without him.
The trade off is similar as always. If the new manager is able to spend more money than Wenger, we could be better off. If he can only spend the same money, we'll probably be worse off. Saying that, Wenger was unusually wasteful last summer. Debuchy looks like a waste of money right now. Welbeck hasn't take any steps forward and if he can't score goals, he can't be a CF. Ideally you need someone instead who is better than Giroud or at least gives him proper competition.
I vote Wenger out, but I would want him to leave not be sacked
My view hasn't really changed over last couple of years. There's definitely cause for optimism but I don't think we'll compete for the league again with him in charge.
