Match Reaction - Arsenal 1-2 Watford - Wenger Out

[Kano]

I've read more insightful stuff on here than that pointless garbage.

First up, if the banksters can't hold their ponzi scheme together for at least another year, Corbyn winning the election will be a certainty unless somebody even more radical comes out of left field. This is because the traditional establishment placeholders won't stand a chance of picking up votes. This is already happening to some degree, which is why we see Corbyn at the helm in the first place. So the comparison you have drawn is highly unsuitable given the range of possibilities that could unfold.

On the other hand. We are absolutely, 100% guaranteed not to win this title. That was true before the season kicked off, but human comprehension doesn't allow for such stark reality and it all gets clouded with hope and expectation. Forget maths, they can't possibly account for how massive a bunch of bottlers we are. No title. Not a chance. A better comparison would be to say there's exponentially less chance of us winning the title than there is of Jesus descending from heaven, live on BBC, walking on water and transforming the Thames into Chateauneuf du pape.

I guarantee you the only eventuality of Corbyn becoming prime minister, is if a) the current government all were revealed to be part of a James Bond Spectre Esque organisation for the purpose of international predatory peadophilia and they all had special nonce rings to identify them as members and b) a nuclear exchange happened between NATO and Russia and the only remaining unaffected areas left in the country were Merseyside and The North east.

Corbyn is at the helm because the membership of the party is a coalition of students, middle class ageing sociology lecturers who never grew up enough to realise that Marxism won't take in a post industrial economy, hysterical idiots who were thrown out of the party under Neil Kinnock, a bunch of Jew haters who misleadingly package their overt racism as an objection over Israel foreign policy and a racket of Islamists.
This isn't a microcosm of the British electorate no matter how much you want it to be.

Mate, you need a slap. Cut the bullshit. We're all Arsenal supporters here and you can't tell a man who he'd be better off supporting. You're out of order.

I'm not telling him anything, I'm advising him where I think he'd be happier.

Whether you think that's out of order is immaterial to me, I don't see someone who appears to delight in Arsenal losing as a fan of this football club.

Manchester City probably show more faith in their managers than would be to Zims taste, so like I say Chelsea is the club for him.

Wenger on the front page of DM sport

EXCLUSIVE: Wenger to walk? Protesting fans could prompt Arsenal boss to end 20-year reign

So they are just going with this then, as if it is reality?

Fans clashed outside the Emirates following Sunday’s Cup exit and, should the mutiny in the stands get worse, Wenger could do the unthinkable and leave before the end of his contract.

A laugh, until you consider people get their "news" from sources like this. Little wonder.

It's not even a case of the greater good. It's the thought of more years with Wenger that's putting people off. I want the league title again and I don't know what the heck happens with us if Spurs win it.

It's really a catch 22.

I dunno I agree with MO. I think the lows of this season, regardless of what's possibly to come have inflicted too much emotional pain on too many for this to be dismissed easily. Even the eternal optimists have broken down. Sure we'd enjoy a league win (we'd be foolish not to) but they'll be a majority consensus that Wenger needs to go out on a high (sort of like what people wanted after the FA cup win) instead of sticking around and pushing us into further mediocrity. It's all academic anyway as we'll well and truly blown it and Spurs and Leceister don't look like letting up any time soon.

Sigh it's all just too depressing thinking about. This.year.was.meant.to.be.the.year.

As for the shit speculation - thought that Chelsea had Simeone locked down for the summer anyway. Not that Wenger's going anywhere. We'll put in a strong run till the end of the season, get close and the usual suspects (board/wenger/players) will release their usual BS statements that we've learnt from our disappointment and that we're ready for next year.

Interesting stat floating on twitter:

Arsenal goals scored by 14 March:
2015/16: 71
14/15: 86
13/14: 78
12/13: 86
11/12: 78
10/11: 104
09/10: 101
08/09: 81
07/08: 92
06/07: 85


Sigh ....

Our defending hasn't been fantastic but by far our big problem is scoring goals. We may still be challenging if we had someone who could put away the half dozen chances we create every game instead of bottling them. When Alexis isn't on form we've got no reliable source of goals.

The club are concerned that Alexis Sanchez (pictured) and Mesut Ozil will not sign new contracts

I cant really blame them if true. The shocking lack of ambition repeatedly shown by the club is likely to put off any world class players.

I think Ozil will leave, Sanchez will most likely stick around if we pay him enough.
