    And I don't think there really is much of a 'Wenger Brigade' these days.

    I certainly don't know anyone who still thinks he's the right man.
    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.

If Wenger puts more faith in Iwobi, then we might negate that problem.
    I think Campbell deserves a run in the squad on the right.

    Yes - and I agree that the banner displayed after the game was well timed as it showed that the disenchantment of the manager runs deeper than a win or a loss.

    The mini unbeaten run has started, soon enough things will be back to normal and Wenger will be hailing our mental strength and team spirit.

    Surprised Wright has had a pop at the fan with the banner considering his stance on Wenger.

    Exactly, good win but we should have won it at 1st time of asking, there will always be a few who will think this is the start of something big though.

    Campbell has performed really well this season when called upon, I think he's earning his place, works hard, makes things happen and has talent a good combination.

    He works hard on defence and has end product. I think he's pulled off some of the best assists this season. One criticism is he plays in patches and can have quiet moments but with more game time that could change.

    Wenger again almost cocky about his job, he knows his position well:

    Against Hull, some Gunners fans held up a banner reading "Arsene, thanks for the memories but it's time to say goodbye".

    Wenger said: "There's nothing disappointing for me, I do my job. Look at the history of the club and you will see that I have nothing to be scared of."

    Is he a 'Wenger Out'? Generally, it does frustrate me the way many people within the game seem to be so precious about Wenger (even while often critisising the flaky nature of his teams). In this respect, its astonishing how Wenger has managed to create this 'hero' cult using a combination of early success, longevity and CL qualification. For me, last night's banner was indicative of the majority of Gooners' attitude - not OTT disrespectful, but simply expressing a situation that has become increasingly apparent - that the manager does not have what it takes to move our club forward. The Stoke station incident is the only example of real disrespect that I can recall - yet many pundits and writers seem to feel that Wenger should be immune from candid criticism of what has ultimately been underperformance for a manager of his stature for a number of years - and something of a shambles this season.
