Match Reaction vs Liverpool (home).

Yes, Wenger's excuses are extraordinary - even by his lame standards.



Why hasn't he been sacked? It's just incredible. He's openly admitting to incompetence here, but everyone at the club and in the media still treat him as if he's competent and even sane. Plainly he's not.

Why are you even asking that question, you know the answer

Why are you even asking that question, you know the answer

I do know the answer, but I can't believe it. This is like Hillary running for office. Despite the avalanche of reasons why she's the most unsuitable person imaginable, the whole machinery pushes on without even pretending her candidacy is legitimate in any imaginable way shape or form. This is where we've got to at Arsenal. They're pissing right in our faces and challenging us to do something about it because they think there's absolutely nothing we can do. They think they have every conceivable angle covered. So much so that we now have a manager that openly states mentality plays no part in sport. Literally nobody else on the planet believes that, it doesn't even cross their minds as a concept worthy of consideration. Until Wenger pipes up and states this insanity as a fact. Alright, if he hasn't been sacked for the reasons we already know, why hasn't he been carted off in a straightjacket? Now that's one you can't answer. There's no valid reason why the bloke isn't in a padded cell now.

I've just heard his excuse re the Euros. I'm done with Wenger's excuses.

It was all called well in advance of the kick-off. He's the most predictable man on the planet. He presides over the most predictable team on the planet. He'll deliver the most predictable outcome on the planet, time and time again. This is like Captain Kirk finding out the Enterprise has become trapped in a time loop. So, being Kirk, he'll do everything in his power to break free and return to normalityWenger, he'll say okay, this is good, let's keep going around and around until something changes.

Pretty much how I feel too, (as a person I'm sure he'd be perfectly likeable).

You AKBs are as much a part of the problem as Wenger, the Board, the owner and the caviar lady.

Wenger always has an excuse for his incompetence, the fact is we weren't ready for the 1st game, we didn't do the necessary in the transfer market despite ample opportunity, every other club managed fine after all, we already had a host of injuries which he bought absolutely no cover for, despite having the time and he chose not to play players who played over a month ago at the Euros (plenty of time to rest and get fit).

Yesterday's result was obvious to me, at best I could see a draw but I could easily see Liverpool beating us as I said in the match thread, Klopp has been building a team, made some signings (some of which looked very good yesterday) and had his team ready for the new season, Wenger was lucky we didn't get thrashed as at one point it was getting embarrassing.

Only one man to blame for this, ironically he washes his hands of any responsibility and chooses to blame a competition which everyone has to deal with and which finished a while ago now, sorry excuse for a manager and his stubborness was always going to cos us points, chances of success.

He's failed to make the signings now and if he does make some you can't help but feel they will be panic buys, if he wanted players he should have signed them before the seaso started.

49, 49 undefeated... magic hat, magic hat, something about a magic hat... one hand, one hand, he built the stadium with one hand... one Arsene Wenger, there's only one Arsene Wenger!

(which is quite lucky really, because if there was another Wenger that's who we'd hire as his replacement)

I am no big fan of Hilary Clinton but really when you consider the presidents America has had, it seems a bizarre statement to call her the "most unsuitable candidate imaginable".
She's totally uninspiring and i think her and her husband are a pair of avaricious socio paths but if the Republican Party members can't take their own nomination process seriously than what can you do.
Unlike the Corbyn, I actually quite like Bernie Sanders and actually think he was in his campaign less concerned with being president of his own fan club, plus he is the only american politician in the mainstream to be scathing of wall street. But ultimately he isn't a president, he's the guy that points and tells you what's wrong and why it's wrong and how we can do it better....and they are incredibly vital to the political process but they don't make for heads of state.
I think to be an effective head of state there has to be the ruthless, sociopathic edge to you....Obama spent too long trying to get Republicans to like him when he really shouldn't have bothered.

Wasn't really looking at it from a political angle, and wrong thread to get into that anyway. More looking at it as a system that has become so corrupt and morally bankrupt (as with Kroenke and his gang at Arsenal) they can host huge public theatre extolling the virtues of honour and service and duty whilst running a serial criminal as a candidate. I can't recall it ever being so blatant. Much as I can't recall a football club more blatant in its desires than Arsenal, or a club whose agenda runs so contrary to the publicly stated aims. Bizarrely there's almost a cold honesty to their dishonesty. Yes - we are lying to you. Thank you for your interest in our affairs.
