West Ham away (PL) Match Reaction Thread

[Letters]

Ah, so you've decided my criticism of his ongoing managerial failures is bile and bullshit?

I gave several examples of your bile and bullshit.

Skipped through this.

Good vid.

It's funny cos he's fat.

It is a weird one because we're going to finish below Leicester but probably above most of the other usual suspects. It's been a weird season all round.
I think 'new low' is exaggeration but we're going in the wrong direction and need someone to turn it around, it's increasingly clear that Wenger can't.

Spurs finishing above us or pipping us to a title when we were clear favourites is a new low. That's no exaggeration. If we'd have finished 4th and the usual suspects came above us then you'd have a point but you're wrong in this case. If you can admit Wenger should be sacked for this season then that should say it all really.

He's an embarrassment.

I'm not saying shut up, if you want to protest next season if it makes you feel better than go for it, but I imagine that will be all you acheive.
Frustration is usually a result of unwillingness to accept you are in a hopeless situation.

Wengers reaction in press conferences and anything you can read about the Rams in United States will give you all the information you need.

I honestly don't know what will happen at the end of next season, but even if Wenger goes there is no overwhelming obvious choice to succeed him. No Wenger is not good enough, but are any of the candidates we have been linked with up to the job?.
I think Leicester City and Ranieri are proof that the influence a manager has is overstated, Wenger needs to go because he hasn't got the ruthlessness to instigate a root and branch change in the squad.

Getting rid of Ospina, Mertesacker, Ramsey, Walcott, Campbell and Giroud along with Flamini, Arteta and Rosicky.

This weekend a back four of internationals abrogated their responsibilities by pulling back too deep allowing too many crosses to come into the box, you can blame tactical naievity as much as you like but these are professional footballers they shouldn't need the constant guidance of a crusty old frog in a sleeping bag straight jacket to know how to defend.

Of course that's not to excuse Wenger, these are his players he picks the team and in failing to spend he has stuck with players who either don't care or aren't very good.

A more elaborate way of saying 'shut up and take it'. You're talking in circles. 'Wenger must go...the fans are powerless, the owner doesn't care, there are no obvious candidates, it's the players fault'.....

You say you don't know what will happen next season but seem to have it all mapped out with the assumption that pressure from the fans won't do anything. Whether people protest or just stay away from games, it's better than nothing.

I gave several examples of your bile and bullshit.

I've called him incompetent, an idiot, an imbecile, an arrogant fool, a stubborn old goat. I've even defined the terms and each is entirely appropriate given his performance levels, his repetitious mistakes, his failure to learn from or even accept those mistakes and his obvious disdain for the fans. I stick by all of it because the facts support what I'm saying.

What have you been saying? He can't compete because other clubs have more money, he's done as well as can be expected because other clubs have more money, there was no point trying to finish as high as possible last season because the title had already gone, he's bought Ozil and Alexis so ignore the fact he didn't strengthen last summer and blew another title, Wenger can be excused because the chavs fucked up, Wenger may have been embarrassed but so have the gypos. Always the excuse.

Bile - anger, bitterness, or irritability. Plenty of fans feeling all of those things right now I would say. And apathy - which comes after anger in many cases. I'll own that. Fans should be angry when the club they support retains a manager who has no ambition. What's the point of competitive sport without ambition?

Bullshit - talk nonsense to (someone) in an attempt to deceive them. Well we have what I'm saying, we have Wenger's record, and we have the bullshit apologies you're shovelling.

The eleven that started today is good enough wo win the league season, they have a nice ballance to them and so much graft. They are being held back by Wenger and as long as he is here they won't win the title.

Give this team to any tactically astute manager and they would walk the league this season. A manager who really wanted to win today would have made sure his team went in at half time leading, not holding on and then going behind.

thats inaccurate.

There was no balance yesterday. We had a great attack, and its probably our best attack since 2007-8, but the balance is bad. Sanchez is great attacking on the right, but he left Bellerin out to dry. Same with Iwobi on the left.

We also need to start playing 3 CMs.

I cannot stress this enough, but if Sanchez learns how to play center forward it would solve a lot of our problems. But Sanchez is super daft and will keep chasing the ball and just messing up things.

We tried 3 CM's at the start of last season and it didn't work.

He doesn't know what he's doing, I bet he doesn't even know what his strongest team is. Seriously, he's just stumbling across systems now in periods of the season when we have pretty much nothing to play for. This weekend was a complete snapshot of ours & our title rivals seasons. We go to West Ham without a plan and collapse and our rivals who incidentally appear to have a plan win "must win" games, Wenger is totally finished, this season has completely exposed him.
