Match Reaction vs Hull City Tigers (away, FA Cup).

[Power n Glory]

It's all about the brown paper bags in the end. Not direct bribes but rather the things people will do for publicity, and publicity comes before the cash unless you are higher up the food chain. All Wright had to do was say he agreed with the right to speech but disagreed with what was being said. So simple and with the added benefit of being honest and agenda free. But those hits and clicks and headlines and tweets and all that shit, they don't go to the ones who stay quiet. Everyone is doing it, even Henry has stuck his integrity under the pillow to make a few quid more. The only guys in this with a bit of integrity are the ones who stuck the banner up. They considered their actions carefully beforehand, they have a point to make, they have made it in the right manner. That's why the Wengerites are so pissed, there's nothing easy to dismiss there.

I still have time for Henry. There isn't anything I can point to where I know for certain he doesn't feel that way. But Ian Wright has jumped out the window with this one and I've got a lot of respect for Wright. You have his opinion on Wenger in print and camera so I just don't get where this has come from. He was one of the first to be critical of Wenger and many Arsenal fans were going at him. He may need to explain himself. I don't like seeing ex legends involved with this. Slowly breaking down the club piece by piece. Fans split, legends losing stock....I mean seriously. I hope this is Wenger's last season. Too many rifts being caused.

The quotes I am reading from Wright, not sure what the issue is because it seems to me he is looking at it from a player's perspective, after a match, after a win. Not sure he even addresses whether he thinks Wenger should go or not directly.

Even so, the player's have little right to complain about or feel aggrieved about anything the fans say considering the shit that has been served up on the pitch this season. Wright is in a privileged position, earned but privileged nonetheless. He's on the inside looking out, it's the other way around for the fans. Plus he's a mug for getting involved at all. Does he really think he can win against fans that have nothing to lose? If you are going to live in a bubble then don't pop the bubble.

Wrighty has suggested Wenger should go before....he's just taken a back step and exercised a little more discretion lately but I am pretty unmoved by his or any other closely connected with the club individual's views.

He never gives an answer on it because he's sitting on the fence, waiting to see which option will benefit him more

He got asked point blank on the Fletch/Sav show before the NLD and couldn't answer it

As you indicate, you're seeing it from a supporter's perspective, I'm not saying that isn't justified but the two would see it in different way.

Maybe he's conflicted.

I've got time for Wright. He might be conflicted but it makes little sense going after a fan that's gone through the motions and has had enough of the same cycle like most of us. It's an obvious message to Wenger and he's not having a dig at the players so I don't get his beef. He sounds like he doesn't understand why the banner is up because he speaks of us still being in the title and that's irrelevant. It's not just about silverware and I think some misjudge how some fans feel. A good run of results or a trophies at the end of the season won't wipe the slate clean. If Wright doesn't understand that he should stay out of it.

He does understand it, of course he does. But like anyone defending Wenger he's wilfully blind. Everyone knows Wenger's faults by now, it's a fairly long list that has been discussed many times in many places by many people. "We are still in the title", is code for, "I'm ignoring that list".

Yes, he's a beneficiary, we are donors. Wright is perfectly entitled to an opinion but does he have to lace that opinion with an insult? A bit of gratitude would go further and yet it seems to be the major beneficiaries who feel the gratitude should be coming in their direction. Saint Arsene, we thank you for the gifts you have bestowed. Hallowed be your name and fuck any cunt who says otherwise.
