Where has Wenger gone wrong?

[Niall_Quinn]

Yep, very sad. I don’t know what the powers of be are saying to him but it must be clear to him now that the fan base have just given up. Honestly, I actually feel sorry for him, I mean it’s clear he has completely lost his way. It’s not like a couple of seasons ago where we were playing attractive football and capable of beating anyone or going on a long unbeaten run, it’s far from that now. We genuinely are a very average team, we can’t even pass the ball FFS.

Why?

He's not a stupid man in terms of intelligence. So either he's had a mental breakdown (as I have suggested) or he's deliberately put his own interests over those of the club, something he said he would never do. I don't think you can feel sympathy for such a selfish individual. You can pity him, despise him, hold him in contempt, but have sympathy for a guy who must surely have known the risks and took them anyway so the needs of the one could take precedence over the needs of the many?

If he's had a breakdown then it's Kroenke that deserves our contempt for allowing a sick man to continue in this position and be battered from all sides. Well, Kroenke deserves our contempt anyway so nothing new there.

But I won't be joining in the Wenger love-in that will inevitably occur when he leaves. That bridge was burned the minute he signed the last contract. Blown up in fact given the way he bypassed his own (alleged) boss and ran to Stan. And how can you have sympathy for a man who is so arrogant he simply refuses to listen to the tidal wave of opinion that is pointing out the obvious?

Like any dictator, he craves power and he's done whatever it took to hold onto it. I don't respect that and I don't sympathise with it and no matter what the guy has done in the past he won't be forgiven for what he's done in the present - not by me anyway. Which I know will come as a severe blow to him because he respects me just as much as I respect him, in fact he "respects" all the fans in the same way. He's blamed us enough times for his failings after all.

Is that actually how you think that phrase goes?

I do the typo thing as a joke, "You said..."

You do it for real

I used t feel sorry for him, but he just won't listen. Even Wrighty and Keown are questioning him - hell everyone is. The commentator and pundit on the Sunday match were saying the only change will come is when the manager goes, the media never used to do that, we had to be 'careful what we wished for' and how we as Arsenal fans were ungrateful. Not any more.

I don't feel sorry for him, I don't really feel anything now. I said last night I'm even sure what the point is in talking about what's going wrong anymore.

This sums it up perfectly:

It just amused me. As Zim's a Frenchy, he might genuinely think that's what the phrase is.

French!

When did that happen? Why hasn't he been banned?

It’s worse than you think

I’m pretty sure there are blacks and Asians on here too

No obviously it's write home about!

I wrote it in a hurry without thinking.

Fair enough

Controversially, I do actually agree with much of your post. I do intend to respond properly.

Only anti-Wenger people get banned on here. Zim's cheery pro-Wenger stance (I guess because of their shared nationality) means he's safe from my infamous ban hammer.
