Match Reaction v Man Utd

[Syn]

TBh the guy was grilling him lol and like always the more the guy grilled him the more defensive he became and stubborn. he indirectly addmited bring the young lad off was a mistake but could not saying.

When asked if Arshavin cost us he said to the guy "Ask him" in a kind of aggresive way. He mouth backed Arshaving while his eyes wanted to kill ashavin and even talking about the punk was making him angry.

He is still playing daddy to his players even when he knows they have done wrong.

He's never asked about why we're always topping the injury list and whether he has considered it's an internal problem at the club as opposed to stupid pitches, new boots, rough tackles by opposition and so on.

His interview was sh*t as usual, he gets defensive and plays the I know better card when it's clear he knows jack sh*t.

I'd love someone to interview him and give him hell and ask him all the questions we really want the answers to without letting him off the hook, someone like Jeremy Paxman.

The decision he made today can't be overlooked. He's made it worse by not holding his hands up. Admitting he's wrong is not something he usually does but he needed to do it today because for a moment all the fans, the players, the media, everyone was just thinking WTF? And Wenger was 100% alone (apart from the board of course who probably thought it was genius to hook Ox, save on a win bonus by turning it into a loss). It's all downhill for Wenger now. He's made himself look a fool and then tried to say everyone else is the fool. He could have even changed his mind when the boos started ringing out (what the fuck did he expect) and grabbed the 4th official and strangled him, or short of that said 15 was a mistake and fucking obviously change it to 14. Nobody could have argued with that.

You have a way with words.

I genuinely don't think he knows he got it wrong. About the crowd booing, he said 'they're not always right' - I reckon he feels the negative reaction of the substitution is what had the negative impact as opposed to the substitution itself. But in either case, I agree that - whether he knows he was wrong or not - he needed to say he got it wrong.

We truly have gone full circle. Last time we lost to Man Utd, Wenger didn't have much support but we always felt the players weren't doing their bit. Looking at Van Persie's reaction today and that of the crowd, he's lost everyone. He must feel the loneliest man around right now. But all dedicated WUMs usually are.

Would be interesting to see who the bookies would tout as a replacement.

Hope we haven't stooped low enough to be on the useless ghel merry-go-round. Curbishley, Steve Bruce...

Doesn't Avram Grant usually advertise his services around this time?

If that's the case we'd better start looking at the bottom of the table. At least we can set failure as a target. Fuck the Champions League, failure to get into the Championship should be our main objective.

I know this is heresy, but it's got to the point where I almost want us to lose if it will hasten Wenger's departure. How weird is that? I just feel that if he scrapes by, if he keeps us in the top 6 (then next year it'll be the top 8) etc etc, this thing will go on for ever and the decline will never stop. One disastrous season (finishing low but obviously not relegated) is probably the best thing that could happen. I feel like a traitor saying this, but I honestly can't see any other way out of this terrible spiral of decline.
