    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.

    According to my mate she was also knocking off Patrick Vieira and that's why there are strained relations between Wenger and Vieira.
    So he did plug the hole left by Vieira after all?

    Poor result in the end after leading 2-0 but hey ho doesn't matter a whole lot as the title was gone a while back.

    We're making a right mess of this season, Caroll with an 8 minute hattrick just shows we're as brittle as ever defensively.

    I don't see where we go from here tbh, another disappointing season in a list of them and once again really nothing has changed, we're not improving, we're not adapting and we're still suffering from the same problems we had a decade ago.

    Seen Wenger's interview, doesn't look too disappointed, he's happy with our resilience but considering the terrible form in the last few months he remain reasonably upbeat, almost like 4th place is good enough really.

    Expecting more of the same next year.

    Just ask Newcastle fans how successful their protesting is.
    Protesting to get Stan out probably won't work. But I can't see Wenger ignoring the fans and signing a new deal.

    No she had to rely on internal solutions

    Difficult to envisage a sustained protest given the stick one bloke got for raising a banner. All it would do is give Moh more opportunities to self promote I suppose.

    Even so, it's the only thing that might get rid of Wenger, or at least provoke a few concessions from the leech squad. Very tough because it goes against everything the typical fan believes in. You want to cheer when you are winning but a protest that stands any chance of success will need to see the fans booing regardless of what's happening on the pitch. The protest would have to be clearly understood as being aimed at ensuring Wenger doesn't get another contract. Pointless trying to get him out the door immediately as that certainly wouldn't succeed.

    Isn't that exactly what he has been doing.

    He's worked pretty hard this season at defining what a fan is in his mind. Somebody who pays up and "gets behind the team" (shuts up) regardless of what's happening on the pitch seems to be his favoured definition. If there are enough "real" fans then maybe Wenger could convince himself he has the support to carry on? 2019/20 seems to be a big date for the corporate boys. If things go their way it sounds like we'll be seeing the early version of a new Euro league exclusively featuring the "big 5" flops. I can see the board wanting to carry Wenger that far at least so they can lock in their revenue streams. After that it doesn't really matter, the money will pour in regardless.

    Wenger has never experienced the fans turning on him. He's heard a few boos and groans over performances but nothing consistent. But if you keep suggesting all action is pointless we might as well just put up with it and stay quiet.
