Should Wenger go?

I wish the French **** would die in a car crash.

If AW had bought Parker and Klose last summer instead of Arteta and Park (?) we would have saved money and had a better team.
Mertesacker was a good buy and missed him so much on Weds

I understand and share the frustration but expressing it by insulting Wenger, calling him a French **** etc, it just detracts from the debate about what's going on at the club.

It's also an 8 match ban if you do that outside GW.

Just Klose instead of Park - and actually playing him - would have meant we would be challenging for the PL title this year. Which, again, just makes it so fucking frustrating.

Well, we can't properly ennumerate Park's contribution to us until we figure out how much goodwill in Asia we've accrued by...royally fucking up his career.

...bugger.

Bloody brilliant piece this....

Makes no diffrence if he has a say in his successor or not tbh, Managers like Him and SAF will always get to recommend who they think is good for the job, does not mean the guy has to be a Wenger clone at all.

A lot of things make no difference according to you

I don't think anyone has said that, what people have said is that fan protests aren't that effective. If the board only care about getting our money, and it seems they do, then paying money to go and protest is about as effective as the people who bought records in the wake of the John Lennon "bigger than Jesus" kerfuffle to burn them in protest...and then went out and bought replacements. They've still got our money, why would they care about a few banners?
Big, co-ordinated, sustained protest may have more effect but, in practise, that isn't going to happen.


What is childish is insults/abuse aimed at Wenger. It makes the people doing it look like toddlers throwing their toys out of the pram and detracts from their opinions which may well be sensible ones but expressed in such a childish way don't encourage engaging with.

Well protests arent effective.. as we have seen from what happened to Utd fans protesting or Leeds fans protesting. What it does at least is bring attention to the growing discontent among fans. Even the 'silly bin liner' protest got a good deal of media attention. Like a wise man said, the journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. At least give it a freaking try. Take a group of friends, like minded people and there will be plenty among Arsenal fans who takes a banner or just stands outside the stadium before a game with a banner asking "We pay the highest tickets in world football yet our standards keep falling.. we need answers!"

You might be a bunch 10-15 ppl doing it but do it! Give it a start! May be you will fail but harping on a message board is not going to help. Thats why I say that majority of arsenal fans are just not passionate enough. May be the ones whose voice will make a difference come from middle to upper class background and for them, protesting is not a cool thing to do or it doesnt matter. God, I wish I lived in London...

I'll support them evermore.

We should at least make our voices heard. Sustained protests by the fans will look embarrassing to the board, and for a "business" (which is all we are to them) it cannot be good for brand image. At least it could kickstart a wider debate about the direction that the club is heading towards. At the moment it seems this discussion is confined to the message-boards. Let's bring it to the front pages and bring some publicity to the problems that are affecting the club. The board may not care as long as we're paying for tickets, but it will at least make them worried that the fans won't simply be content paying sky-rocketing ticket prices, and that demand may drop alarmingly if we carry on the way we're going. Attendances have already dropped (despite the PA announcing 60,000 at games when it's obvious it's nowhere near a sellout)
