Match Reaction - Arsenal 1-2 Watford - Wenger Out

[Munchies]

Wenger walks out of an interview when questioned about whether he believed he was under pressure, there an no words to describe this guy, he clearly thinks he's above everyone else, arrogance in it's highest form.

Thank you very much

First thing I see on BBC Sport

Arsene Wenger says questions over his Arsenal future a 'farce'


http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/35800701

A farce is bottling the league yet again.
A farce is replacing Pace and Power with tiny short midgets
A farce is being on £8m a year and acting like you're doing the fans a favour
A farce is only signing Zero outfield players in the summer
A farce is having your favourites in the squad that you won't ever drop
A farce is personally endorsing Stan Kroenke over Usmanov
A farce is that you're finished as a manager and you're still our manager

The guy thinks he's untouchable, he's right of course but that's not the point.

The only farce is the way he manages the team and runs the club, this guy should have gone years ago, this is what happens when a guy is in charge for too long, he becomes power hungry and egotistical and thinks he's the only one that's right.

When it comes to dealing with journalists looking for an angle to crucify you, make a name for themselves and increase sales/click rates, then I can see where Wenger comes from. The media aren’t representing the fans in any sense of the word and it’s misguided to think that is ever the case. If I had been working in an industry for 50 years I wouldn’t put up with leeching little cretins from the rag-like media thinking they can question me from a position of expertise, just because they have the ears of the general public.

What Wenger is missing however is that this is the only medium the fans have of understanding the thinking of the manager, players and club in general. If he has heard the fans are upset and putting pressure on his recent performances then it is a huge error of judgment to not feedback, at least once, some form of communication empathising with our concerns.

The fact the fans are being spoke about in this way speaks volumes!

I feel we're the ones being disrespected by all and sundry! Yet everyone is carrying on like we should be fucking grateful!

It's not even a disrespectful banner. Honestly, fuck the lot of them. They deserve to play in front of an empty stadium. It's best they hear nothing at all if they keep telling us to shut up. They're acting like we've been impatient.

I don't think anyone cares for an explanation from Wenger or feedback. We've heard it all. He's given his side in other interviews so it's not a complete media shut out. Walking out of an interview just makes him look bad and they'll keep probing away at him for these sort of incidents. I just hope he doesn't have a complete meltdown on camera.

Watch this from a few seasons ago after the Blackburn FA Cup loss

Same shit eh

Anyone that dares to question him he just flies off the handle at.

Would love someone to go in and call him a specialist in failure, wouldn't go down well but would probably get a great reaction.

Mertersacker blaming poor finishing for struggles (partly true but the defence has been poor too), what he maybe doesn't realise is he's actually blaming the manager indirectly, after all it was the manager who decided he didn't need a striker in the summer, low and behold we find ourselves in March and struggling to score goals, who could have predicted it?

I haven't been able to find the clip online, but if you get a chance to see the second Watford goal keep a close eye on Mertesacker. You'll see very clearly why he should never play another game for the club again. He should be in hiding now, after his performance, not spouting off and certainly not trying to deflect the blame. Find that clip if you can and watch it. It tells you everything you need to know about this guy in terms of his courage, heart and determination on a football pitch.

I partly agree about the finishing. Campbell, Elneny, Welbeck, Giroud had good opportunities. But failing to defend a simple throw in and getting turning so easily is just criminal.
