Who's Next?

You recognise it as Hyperbole and yet you get uptight when you jump in and correct it and someone suggests you are being a Wenger defender.

This is a message board not a scholarly debating society, you might read things that don't sit well with you. Best to take it with a pinch of salt.

Defending Wenger to me is hyperbole. That grates me.. so I reply in hyperbole too.

You weren't replying TO anyone, you were just venting.
Which is fair enough, I suppose.

I appreciate that's what people do, whilst I think people's opinions of Wenger are too black and white for my taste I only debate people who deal in hyperbole out of boredom.

Although the differences in opinion over Wenger are largely superficial, everyone agrees he has to go.

[Marc Overmars]

Wenger is a parody of himself now anyway, so a bit of hyperbole does no harm.

Even the slagging off is getting boring now. Everything about this club is boring. Crusty old farts shuffling money, including the manager. We can moan and whinge but they are walking off with a ton of loot. I guess they'll survive the disappointment of our disapproval.

I would just like to see some decent football, between now and the end of the season. Is that absolutely too much to expect?

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

No it doesn't at all

But it amounts to an emotional reaction, a totally understandable one.

Without passion sometimes there is no drive to change things

I do think he will be looked upon more fondly when he's gone. People will form more objective opinions of his strengths and his failings. I don't think any conclusion will be reached other than that of someone who can't take the club forward would be reached, but it will be more nuanced I suppose.

I think what will ultimately be thought of Wenger is how risk adverse he was, I think if he'd tried different approaches, spent more money on players and still failed I think people would be less frustrated with him.

But it just seems puzzling, for a man determined to live and breathe Arsenal football club and devote so many hours of his life here to make little progress and seem unwilling to change things significantly in response to that, is not only damning it's quite bizarre.

Yes you are being incredibly selfish, thinking about yourself when poor Stan is still trying to find a way to get the contractors to get him that diamond studded driveway to his new Texas ranch.

Many recent polls have shown that people look upto George W fondly since his departure, so you have a very good point there.

So no chance of the players kicking in a bit of effort before they go off on their holidays? Do they need more money? Would that get us a decent 90 minutes?

They don't want anymore money for the time being, they aren't that Greedy

But seriously if your boss gives you Monday off, are you going to come in anyway to prepare for a meeting on Thursday that you don't care about?.
