Match reaction vs Norwich

Must be the end of Wenger for sure now.

Cant see any other positive.

Podolski is looking through his contract to look for a get out clause as we speak

[Olivier's xmas twist]

This season is worse than last season, you're right we are lucky to be where we are and are only there because other teams have faltered badly, fact is though this season has been a disaster, last summer was a disaster, the start of the season was a disaster, the cups were a disaster and looks like the end of the season is a disaster too.

The biggest disaster though is that the clown is still in charge, how can we ever hope to get better with this clown at the helm?

As for losing players, well again the manager showed his incompetence, we left it way too late to sell them (we were in denial all summer) and then replaced them with panic buys, there was no planning, just a load of BS from the manager, poor show.

My point was, OK this this season has been worse, if you look at our stats. We have lost too many games and Conceeded to many goals.

But i don't think this result was worse then being 4 -0 against the bardodes last season and drawing 4-4.

What we are seeing is the result of the manager and board not adding quality to the sqaud in the summer.

Im happy next week is the last week in the season and what ever happens happens.

Then he was a stupid boy to sign for us knowing we had not secured Cl footiee tbh.

But i agree on the Wenger thing tbh.

as fae as im concerned he can leave now.

I'm warming to the Europa League now. Could be a right laugh. Pat Nevin and Collymore for the games at Dynamo Tbilisi. Our players breaking their faces on frozen pitches.

Same here and like Zimm says we have a chance to win it i guess, which would be nice to feel. Just want this season over and done with. Just fed up.

Main thing re. CL is I'd worry about the money issue. The gap is colossal. You get a pittance even for winning the Europa League. I just worry it's an extra invitation for us to sell someone off, or once again underinvest in the team. In that scenario where we did get 4th but Chelsea took our place, what would the approach be? I'm sure they've planned for years for us not qualifying for the CL, but have to wonder what the plan to consolidate a place next season would be. But that's still to be seen. The Europa League itself I don't really have an issue with. Would be my first time really following it (since the Uefa cup days). It's a bit of a clusterfuck of fixtures but it should be alright.

Perhaps the Europa cup is what some of these useless twats need to wake the fcuk up and realise that they are not as good as they think they are.

Let's hope Wenger does not dick off to some French football channel as a fucking pundit for the Euros, but decides to spend it at Asburton Grove and start by growing some fucking balls and getting rid of a load of shit that restricts our transfer ability and overloads our wage bill.

He needs to get rid of at least 10 existing players:

Almunia
Mannone
Squillachi
Djourou
Chamack
Vela
Bendtner
Asharvin
Denilson
Park

The he should loan out a few youngsters so they can develop in the Prem:
Frimfrong
Ramsey
Coqulain
Joel Campbell

I mean fucking hell how have we complied such a list, no wonder our first 11 are fucking knackered, we have no squad, no depth away from a starting 11.

The fact Wenger has allowed the squad to become so erratic, shows he's either lost his eye fro talent, has too much power at the club, or that no one has the balls to challenge him.

Fuck me he better be busy this summer.

Same here but as the Big man Phw says we should be ok if we don't get CL footie.

My other worry was Playing Europa while Spuds were in the Cl.

Like you i have not followed the EL maybe because were not in it so i find it boring but if were in it ill fowllow it i guess.

I guess us just missing out on the Cl wil be interesting to see what the board do.

If we sell off one of our stars maybe it wll be RVP (Obvious i know).

[Dennis Bendtner]

That's key. We really have to be active this summer. Regardless of the CL/no CL dynamic. The last few weeks - with the injuries kicking in - have not reflected well on our squad depth. It's actually a large squad. We have a dangerous number of redundant players or loanees who ought to be completely out of the picture. I don't see us selling those players very easily, though. Can see many of them still on loan or in the reserves. Almunia's out of contract so that's good. Mannone's not that troublesome. Vela should have generated some interest. But - particularly for the rest - you could quite easily have a situation where we're loaning again or having them in the stands drinking coffee at the Emirates every game with wage demands and lack of interest. But hopefully work is already being done on this front.

Then we could just do with quality. Three really good players. Defence, midfield, attack. Squad needs to be leaner and more competitive. A couple of the young players could easily do what the wasters are doing now.
