Your empathy towards the board above is exactly the point I was trying to make! Instead of wasting my time typing, I’ll just refer you to the following important extract of my post:

What is the fucking point of bleating on endlessly about Wenger, if at the end of the day, you are prepared to cut the board some slack, give them time or whatever it is you think is appropriate (be it trying to understand their point of view, empathise with their motives or whatever it is you feel they’re entitled to)? Because if you do so, then any impartial person who is trying to evaluate the situation objectively from a neutral perspective has the right and is legitimately of sound mind, to conclude that you are a mong! It’s simple deduction based on the principle of logical consistency. If you do not apportion the majority of blame towards the board first (regardless of how justified you feel that Wenger is the problem), then from a logical standpoint, there is little, to no consistency in your argument compared to the board’s absolutely symmetrical stance on the subject.

So here are the facts to any neutral observer: In one corner we have the board/owner who are in control of the club; whose stance on the subject is crystal clear and consistent. They are firmly behind their employee of the decade and regard you, the Wenger out clan as mongs. And in the other corner, we have you, the dependable Wenger out hit squad, who makes no counter claim or dispute to the board’s assertion that you are mongs (either by abstinence or implied level of blame) but chose to focus your anguish on the one person in the equation who has no power of self-appointment to keep this travesty in a perpetual loop. Then tell me, how is any neutral, objective person supposed to resolve the conundrum since the views of both camps (You vs. Board) are diametrically opposed to each other? Who is right and who is the mong? Don’t you see, regardless of who you feel is more to blame, if you are not prepared to target the board as the source of the problem, but want Wenger out of the club ASAP, there’s only one logical verdict to any unbiased observer?
Look, I have no problems at all with the Wenger bashing. It’s fair game to me and some of it, quite justifiably so. But I draw the line where cutting the board some slack is concerned, because the significance of logical due process takes precedence as far as I am concerned (regardless of how justifiably inclined you may feel otherwise).

The only other person in this forum who I can recall off the top of my head who shares my kind of aversion to the Board and their ‘sort’ is brilliant Mr Niall Quinn. Maybe it’s because I think we’re both roughly at the same level of experience in terms of having accumulated enough of that kind of déjà vu familiarity and so are naturally inclined to an immediate suspicion of that sort of devious cunning running in the background, which the masses are blissfully oblivious to. But I digress. Anyways, my point is if you’re the sort who gets off repeatedly by dumping your excrement on a picture of Arsene in the privacy of your home and have no problem of being perceived as a mong from the viewpoint of a neutral third party, then the prerogative is entirely yours.
