Match Reaction v Swansea at home (15/16)

[Power n Glory]

To be honest, even I have got to the point where the title isn't enough. With this squad we should be clear at the top, not desperately scrabbling around for a win and hoping teams like Spurs and Leicester drop points.

And you're not the only one to say that. I said the same after the FA Cup. Just leave on a high. Even the treble wouldn't shake my opinion on Wenger and wanting him gone.

Last night I couldn't even muster up the energy to give a shit about watching.

We won't win the title so we don't have to
Worry about whether it will be enough.

I just don't see any scenario in which Wenger would be sacked, and don't see any scenario in which he will go before the end of his contract.
That said I don't think he will get offered a new one and there will be an agreement between him and the board that Wenger has decided to call it quits.

I said years ago that he'd end up being hounded out by pressure from the fans and media. If he losses on Saturday and we don't win the league, staying another year will be uncomfortable for him and the club. Even the fans. Besides watching the same drivel for a year, the fans will get painted in a bad light for the bad atmosphere. He really should just leave for the sake of the club at the end of this season. I can see what bullshit waits for us once the media catch wind of the story. Will probably totally split the fan base because some fans won't hold back the disrespect.

Bang on. He should have gone after the first FA Cup win.

First time I have started to understand the theory of wanting to see the team drop down the league. Not agree with it, but understand it. In desperation people will hunt for all means by which to get this man out the door. Bribery will be used to keep his arse in the chair. Maybe it'll be a big summer signing, maybe it'll be a big sponsorship deal and another promise of big signings. Whatever. Bribe is on the way and it will probably work. There are fans out there today who, if you pull the string hanging out of their backs, will say, "Keep the faith, through thick and thin!" Fucking impressive batteries, 10 years and going strong. These guys will be a big help when the time comes. "We're going to win the league, we play attractive football, we're going to make big signings!"

If we lost most of our games between now and May and got overhauled by Utd or West Ham then I think Wenger's job might be under threat. But that won't happen. We'll get 4th and we may even plod and stumble to a Cup win. I mean you can't sack a manager who has won 3 Cups in a row, can you? Only disloyal, emotional fans would demand that. Real fans would jump on the bandwagon and get ready to go around again.

He can survive until 2019 and he probably will.

Yes I think so too

Did he deserve a shot at being able to spend money and have us competing yes but in hindsight if he wasn't prepared to change his own approach than its a waste of time for him.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

I do very much agree with Le Groves theory that Wenger never fails too badly and always does enough to keep stringing fans along to make fans think things will improve under him, would be a sick abusive game if Wenger intended to do it but it's a mixture of stubbornness and ineptitude.

Will this weekend against Spurs signify a breaking point? Honestly not sure, it will be hard to imagine finishing above Spurs if they go six points clear of us, which of course they will. With that Colombian calamity in goal we have no chance of getting anything we will lose.

[Marc Overmars]

I did hope he'd go out on a high after the cup win but I was easy going about it because I thought he deserved the opportunity to spend the cash we had waited the best part of a decade to receive. The only good thing to come out of this is that we now have clarity on what the problem is at the club. Many of us on here suspected that it was never just about the lack of money.

I think the treble would
But there is zero chance of that.
