I was incredibly offended but didn't want to say anything to draw attention to what is probably the most shocking thing ever said on GW. We all like a laugh but there's a line that should never be crossed and the poster (who shall remain unmentionable) has strayed waaaaaaaay beyond that line.

I agree with your last point, and feel that this is one of the main ways in which Wenger is letting us down - his refusal to bring in a hungry, motivational no.2. This is not intended as a criticism of Pat Rice - but its clear that the chemistry, for whatever reason is not working, and that some fresh ideas are required in the coaching department. The manager's apparent refusal to consider this is a dereliction of duty, as is the failure to take effective steps to address our ridiculous injury situation, that has now undoubtedly wrecked our chances for several years.
As for your first comment - I agree that the reality is that AW had a better chance of competing in 1996. But my point more concerned hunger for success and the determination to do whatever it takes in pursuit of success. Wenger in his first years was ruthless and committed in applying every conceivable resource in pursuit of the title. I don't think we can say the same now, when experimentation and 'philosophy' appear to be allowed to stand in the way, justified by the fact that its that much harder to succeed these days.
Putting the laughter back into manslaughter
Fuck it, let's just keep Arsene, he's one of us and loves the club just like we love it. Everyone who's not a gooner can fuck off, can't they? Like Kroenke, for example.
