Arsene Wenger, the only football manager that got paid 8 million quid to do nothing but sit on his arse..
That was the worst atmosphere I have witnessed for a long time.
Swansea didn't even play that well.
We were naive; rudderless; lacking ideas; no passion; no drive; no confidence.
Wenger has lost the dressing room. maybe not in the traditional way, but these players do not believe in what they are being told to do.
Wenger is playing a method of football that is 7 years out of date. Telling players to express themselves might work with top players, experienced and with football brains - that he fortuitously had in the early 2000's. It will not work with inferior players who might pass his technical test, but do not have the character to understand his philosophical approach to the game. There are far fewer of these types of players around anyway, because the world away from Wenger is taking players from a young age and coaching the fuck out of them. Everything is being covered in terms of preparation for the game, and Wenger's players are coming up against this and thinking 'shit - we don't know what to do!'.
That Wenger is too stubborn and lacking in the objectivity to see this is shocking. This is a train crash on the football pitch while the club hold press conferences to boast how good we are commercially.
Putting the laughter back into manslaughter
LOL. Didn't watch it. After Villa and Everton there was no way I was getting stung a third time. Wenger deserves much stick, the team too because most of them don't give a shit about this club and you can see it in the way they play. But I hope the more sensible fans reserve some fire for the profiteers who have raped the club. It all started with them and their stink has filled every nook and cranny. There's nothing good going on at this club, can't think of a thing.
Für eure Sicherheit
Can you imagine paying £2,000 a year to watch that tripe?
I'd have kept it if the atmosphere was any good but it's shocking. No fucker sings.
Arsenal FC is in terminal decline.
I used to recall that the general remit of any Arsenal manager was to challenge for the league champonship and to keep your job you had to win an FA Cup or League Cup as a bare minimum, Wenger has certainly devalued the manager's job at AFC. What's saved Wengers job over the past 7 years the Champions League 3rd and 4th spot, but this season for the first time in a long time Wenger has worthy comeptition in Everton and the spuds and possible oustiders in Swansea and WBA. We used to be the envy of every club, first club to have under floor heating at Highbury, the first club to travel first class on the train whilist the others all went 2nd class, the first club to wear suits to matches!! Don't be fooled, Arsenal are a historic and prestigious club and I can assure you any top class manager would never turn down the offer to manage this once great club. We used to be called the bank of england due to financial the vast resources we had at our disposal, and now Wenger has turned us in to a club that should be happy to finish 4th to play in a competition we have no chance of winning. I don't get it. Oh how I wish we had the old Arsenal back.
