You're too young to remember some of the football we had to watch when I first started going to games and you're too young to remember when 4th was an achievement rather than a disappointment.

The football isn't so good now, the glory days are over (the rise of the billionare owners IS a factor in that although I agree we could and should be doing more to compete), but there's no call for the abuse or disrespect you post.

I think the argument that Wenger needs to go is pretty strong now, as you say the lack of investment and the frankly baffling decisions make his position weak, even accounting for the good times under him. Being abusive and disrespectful adds nothing to the argument though.
Agree with you on the abuse part but I guess thats what he gets for taking the fans for a ride. I mean, how many years can you take these comments:

- We played with a handbrake
- x, y or z is back from injury and he is like a new signing
- we are looking only for super quality players
- we have togetherness, great mental attitude, spirit
- we are 2% away from domination (agreed this was said only once but really!?)
- we lacked a bit of sharpness
- we are in waiting period (again, happened only once but needed a mention)

These are just what comes to mind when you think about him in the last few seasons. If he is taking the piss out of the fans, I think a fair amount of rage/abuse can be directed towards him. My abuse might seem over the top at times but he deserves to be called a c*nt if he thinks the fans are one..
