Match Reaction vs Sunderland (away)

[Kano]

Pretty much. I'm angry with Wengers comments yesterday, anger out of disappointment. Anger that he doesn't care that he is destroying his own legacy, that's not something I can get satisfaction out of.
I have largely wanted him to go for five years, but there's no question I wanted him to go with our praise ringing in his ears.

I was pissed for a minute but it's more sadness than anything else, watching a club legend cling on like this and go to battle with the fans. There was an excellent point made on the Arsecast yesterday by Tim Stillman, in terms of the type of fan that goes to the game. His reckoning is that maybe up to 40% of the fans won't even realise there is a protest happening this weekend because they are not wrapped up in the 24/7 intensity of Internet and media coverage. They go to a game as an escape, maybe have a couple of drinks after and then go home to families and get on with life. That's where I try to keep football. I read a lot about it and come on here most days but won't allow it to control my feelings, I watch our games and hope we do well but it won't dement me if not. Age probably has something to do with that too I guess. It's still an escape for me and while I agree with nearly all the criticism of Wenger, it is just very sad to see it panning out this way.

Yes I listened to the Arsecast yesterday and heard that, I think Tim Stillman is probably right as well. I think a lot of supporters don't want to get mixed up in what they feel is the politics of the club. Win, Lose or Draw they come away from the game have a few drinks and then go home and probably don't think about Arsenal again until the next match comes around.
I have to say I actually envy that level of detachment.

This is actually where I can see it more realistically ending for Wenger, a rift developing him and his players. He criticised Ozil for saying that the players themselves had mucked it up.
And actually to be fair on the players they seem more willing to take responsibility for their failings than AW does.

On that interview Cazorla doesn't really say much though, he says we need to improve but doesn't say where and says we have a good mentality.

Wenger said something about this a few years back which was quite on the nose. Players might come out and say we need to make changes/signings but they'll never say where out of fear of their own position being improved upon by any new faces coming in.
