Match Reaction v Swansea at home (15/16)

[Niall_Quinn]

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.

The problems were evident years ago. His treatment of Gilberto - foul. Denilson, that harbinger of the new, toxic football we play. And recently Sanogo, Kallstrom, this is just crazy shit. His steadfast refusal to act when action was required. His fucked up "vision", seeing the exact opposite of what every other sod and his dog could see. Judge him over the last 10 years and it's hilarious and sickening. Has there ever been a manager more worthy of the boot? But spend the capital he built up in the 10 years before and he's bought himself a decade living on past glory. That's the unfortunate reality that clubs like Forest have had to endure in the past.

At least the club is spending some money.

The 3rd highest net spend over the last 3 seasons. I guess behind both Manchester clubs.

I have sky and bt sport... I have bt broadband so it comes with that. but sky has the cricket as well which I tend to watch more than the football.

I have been to one arsenal game in the last 4 years and that was the barca game couple of weeks ago. I have two silver membership cards and intend to keep them as at some point things will turn around and I will start to go again.

In terms of the result yesterday... what a load of bollocks.

"A man who truly believes doing nothing is the best option for progress. How can anyone tolerate that attitude…"

His delusion is that he desperately wants to prove to the world that he is the greatest manager that ever lived, even though he patently isnt. So he does thing apposite to whatever conventional and general opinion says just to prove that he knows best. You need a striker everyone says.....He buys a winger, You need a DM.......He buys one that no one has ever thought of. Your keeper is not good........He keeps him for 6 years just to prove that he is better than people are saying
I have said this before and I will repeat it again. If Wenger was to stay here 30 years and on the 30th year he wins the CL after 29 years of failure. His 1st press conference. He will turn round to the press and say....Aha!, told ya I would win it.

That is the equivalent of throwing 2 dice in the air and boasting to everyone that they will land double 6. After about 1000 attempts it probably will but you will turn around to find your audience long gone.

I can see whats going to happen here, Wenger always does just enough when times get bad, whether it be a decent signing, 2 or 3 good results or a pubbed cup win, I can see us beating Spurs at the weekend but not winning the league and it will be redemption for Wenger.

The fans will be happy forget about what's happened before and the cycle will continue, he's done it before when 4th place was all but lost.

[Power n Glory]

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

Not even the treble. Why spoil that ending? Retire on a high with a miraculous story.

I can't agree with that. The performance of Leicester this season has completely transformed the situation. Wenger has nothing to hide behind. All his inadequacies have been laid bare. The reaction of the fans while getting behind the team last night as we rightly should have, could not take the substitution of our best player on the night.

The fans did their part last night by getting behind the team while leaving Wenger in no doubt what they thought of his 'performance' as a manager. Trouble is, he does not care and nor do our owners.

I don't know how loud the boos were at the end because I couldn't stomach being there to see the inevitable.

The football hasn't even been good for the vast majority of our wins.

I'm done going.

Time will tell, we've seen the changearound many times before though, so I wouldn't be surprised to see it change again, Wenger always clings on when people doubt him and pulls of stuff like that, problem is he can't pull it off when it really matters and the big trophies are up for grabs.
