But in terms of challenging, we are way, way behind where George Graham left us. Wenger has led us into the promised land of non-football elitism, where a very few benefit mightily at the extortionate expense of the many. He's transformed himself from the best thing that has ever happened to the club, to the worst thing that has ever blighted the club. In my book now he goes down as the worst manager we ever had. The guy that took the football out of Arsenal. There could be a saviour out there who can come in and restore the soul of the club. But he'll have his work cut out given his bosses, the leeches Wenger ushered in, have the exact opposite intent.

    I imagine my last attachment with football, as I slowly tune out, will be a bitter hatred of a bloke called Arsene Wenger.
    If we're being left in good shape, that includes being left with Kroenke. I've seen plenty rage against the owners but also say Wenger leaves us in great shape for the future. How is that possible? Wenger has had so much power and influence, enough to convince the Board to build new training grounds and a stadium, enough to attract Kroenke over, but he hasn't used it to stop the corporate greed. Instead of blocking off the entrance to the vultures and employing former players to guard that side of our club, he's held the fucking door open and passed out the lube. We've been fucked over. My only hope is that once he moves on, the new manager employed has enough power and influence to persuade the owners to stop fucking over the fans, to invest in new staff and a structure that's there to look after the football. That's the only hope left I have.

    We went into the game looking to nullify them and it didn't work. There was no ambition from the manager to really go for it (despite him saying he would attack them before the game, another lie) and they smelled fear and went for it. Cech kept the scoreline at 2-0 otherwise it couldn't easily have been 4 or 5.

    As a team we are a shambles, no cohesion, no aggression, no fight, no idea what to do and as a club we are ran by greedy bankers who will not stop milking their cash cow and don't give a fuck what happens on the pitch. They have offered wenger a two year deal and are more than happy to let him run the form side of things as long as the money is coming in.

    In short, the club is in ruins.

    As a football team we are in really bad shape right now, the worst we have ever been under Wenger, we have a lot of issues to sort out. I suspect Wenger privately realises he has a lot to sort out before he steps aside, I don't believe him when he defiantly says we are in great shape.

    This summer has the potential to be an abomination even for our standards, if rumours are to be believed we have our 2 best players looking to leave and a whole host of players with their contracts down to a year. We have question marks over every area of the squad now in regards to quality, things have got that bad. Now if Wenger is signs on which is looking very likely then he has a huge job on his hands. In my honest opinion Wenger isn't capable of getting us out of this mess, this is it now...I don't necessarily think we'll get worse but I don't think we'll improve either to the level desired.

    Things don't look good right now.

    it was awful. not the worst we have ever played (still thinking when we lost against a united side who played with 8 defenders) but didn't really look like scoring again.

    its amazing that we have won only 6 of our last 16 games and two of those were non league sides. That isn't great.

    The only positive is that we win the cup against Chelsea (cant see how but you never know) and Wenger goes it wont get better than that as a time to leave. And I do believe that is still a possibility. Lose the cup final and Wenger will feel he has something to prove.

    I don't have a problem with us not being too gung-ho there. Frankly, they're just much better than us and have a formidable home record - haven't lost there all season in the league, only dropped 4 points, only conceded 8 goals. Going there to attack would have been suicide. The trouble is we're not good enough to keep them at bay. To be fair, pretty much no-one is. Chelsea are a much better side than us and they lost 2-0 there too.


    The problem is with our resources and squad we should feel we can go there - or anywhere - and give them a game. The team is a shambles, they're not playing for Wenger or each other. But I don't think there's that much wrong with the squad. Get a manager in who can get them playing to their potential and I think we'll see a big difference. There are problems at board level too of course but the immediate problem is Wenger.

    17 points behind the spuds. Let that sink in.

    And the bloke is still sitting there grinning - I will tell you soon if I decide to stay. Like a rapist zipping himself up and proposing marriage.
