He beat Zurg, so what else is needed?
Wenger can't be compared to any other manager, anywhere, over the last 10 years because his primary focus has not been football, it has been making two very greedy sets of leeches very rich. And he's triumphed in that respect.

Can we afford him? Stan needs a new ranch.

OK. I agree with that and I was preprepared to cut Wenger some slack because for all the guff on here about it being an excuse, the billionaires DID distort the transfer market just at the time the stadium move was affecting us most financially. That doesn't absolve Wenger of all blame of course, 8 years without a trophy even in that climate isn't good enough for a team at our level and after the Birmingham debacle he should have been sacked. But over the last couple of years we have been signing better players, we've started to win trophies and I really did believe we had a chance of the title. I've explained my reasoning repeatedly and I don't see anything wrong with having a bit of hope.
Right now I'm struggling to maintain my usual cheery optimism, it comes to something when I start to think Spurs have a better chance of the title than us
It would be interesting to know what Leicester fans feel about their prospects this season and what they'd now settle for with just the tail end of the season remaining. Undoubtedly if you offered them 4th spot last August they would have bitten your hand off. But I'd be really surprised if the majority would settle for 4th now. They'll want to win it. That's how ambition progresses naturally based on endeavour, momentum and results. These are the things we don't have at Arsenal, ambition, momentum or ultimately the results. Wenger has infected the club from top to bottom with his 4th place trophy bullshit. There are still fans out there saying that Wenger has done exceptionally well to keep us in the top 4 over the last 10 years. It's like some horrible consolation based on the fact a trauma could have been even worse. Belief must be surging through Leicester and their fans now. They may not win it in the end because look at the odds they face. But I bet their belief is growing game by game. Here at Arsenal, who ever truly believes? How could you with Mr No Ambition, 4th Place Trophy at the helm.
It was the cup final against Utd when we robbed them. That's when the rot started, and we have rotted and rotted and rotted under this manager ever since.

2 years ago we had our best chance in years of winning the league. Maureen was into his first season, Pelegrini as well so our rivals were in a bit of a transition and we were top of the league for a long time. However, we blew it again and lost our way from February onward. We should have signed a striker that January but le fool chose not to. This season is very similar, Chelsea are nowhere to be seen, Man ures are struglging, City are dropping points and the lies of Leicester and Spuds are the only one showing consistancy.
We will blow it again, rest assured.
Taking our miserably predictable capitulation aside
Leicester City are a tonic for football, no one expects them to win the league and yet they go quietly about their business.
Vardys goal last night was ridiculous.....this is just a team that believes.
If we don't win the league which I don't think we will, then I very much want Leicester City to win it.
And in all honestly if they go unbeaten against city and us, would you really put it past them?
Just looked at the table at this stage last year.
Leicester were rock bottom, they'd won 4 games out of 25 and had 17 points.
What. Are. They. Playing at?!
I posted that up in the match thread. From bottom to top in 1 year.

It's a strange season with several of the big guns falling way below the standard you would expect of them given their ridiculously huge resources, but even so that doesn't wipe out the individual improvement in Leicester who are showing that the fundamentals of football can still prevail in a money mad environment. This goes against everything Wenger has ever said, btw. It's glaring and blaring proof he has been 100% wrong all along. I don't think it would be right to overlook this. The challenge Wenger has led us to believe has been all but insurmountable has been taken on and conquered by what some would have said are the worst team in the PL. The lie is shattered. Can people see that and accept it?
chavs -> off a cliff (shows the other side of what a prima donna twat can do for you)
gypos -> down (how do you motivate a gang of money mercenaries?)
spuds -> same, they are just doing what the usually do.
us -> same, we are underperforming as always
utd -> Fergie left a mess and they picked the wrong guys to wipe it up
liverpool -> scandalous really, they should be hiding in shame
west ham -> again, the manager thing, what can a decent manager do for you? The only club in the vicinity of Leicester.
Leicester though - outstanding. This is how it should be done, regardless of the money. And I know some are trying to make out they play shit football, but look again. They don't. The play effective football which is also entertaining, whether it means their backs are to the wall or they are flooding down the pitch at pace. That Vardy bloke is an excellent player and Mahrez for £400K?
I want us to win the title, only because I am a fan not because I think we in any way deserve it, but if we all want something good to happen for football and we all want to see the money cunts get a kick in the teeth then the best outcome will be Leicester.

If Leicester do win it I will drink in 1 day the rest of the 750cl bottle of Cointreau that I have been sipping for the last 4 years. Props to them and Ranieri in particular. If they do win it betcha Madrid come calling with an offer you cant refuse.
