    We need any new signings before the emirates cup so they have at least a couple of games.

    Can't see it happening

    What does matter, is that if we don't spend, and spend of quality very soon, we can kiss fourth place goodbye anyway. Last chance to stop the rot.

    Will they spend? That is the question.
    Not too worried about 4th, always seem to somehow get the rub of the green and end up there.

    What's more worrying is seeing yet another carbon copy of previous season, sh*t football, crashing out of all competitions early then putting a mini run of results at the end of the season (albeit labouring to many of them).

    Makes me wonder why you bother.
    It's better to burn out, than to fade away.

    Yes, he's the manager. That's the point. Arsenal is not a hobby, it's a business. Businesses have structure and hierarchy, owners and employees. Why does the buck stop halfway up the chain of command for you? You blame and employee, okay fair enough Wenger plays his role too, but you stop at that and ignore the guys who are responsible (by law) for the money.

    We say that every year and every year Wenger scrapes 4th place. I don't see the coming season as being any different. Only thing that will change is the profitability of the club, which will go up.

    Formed by two mighty tribes, the bores and the bored.

    "After all, it was the Gunners’ goalkeeper who started the move that culminated in Thomas’ crowning glory. It was Lukic who, in injury time, decided to throw the ball out to Lee Dixon rather than lump it long..."

    Unless you want a Abramovich situation, the Board can’t tell Wenger how to run his team. They’ve provided the funds and taken care of the business side of things so we’re now generating more money but they can’t tell Wenger who to sign and how he manages the finances. It’s his choice and the best thing they can do is set the challenge and see if he can deliver. Now that they’re saying the period of transition is over, we’ll see if they grow a pair. They have no excuse now and I can understand why they’d be cautious whilst building a new stadium. But I hold Wenger accountable for the garbage players we’ve signed. We’ve wasted good money on players like Gervinho, Santos, Chamakh, Squallci, players that he’s tossed on to the useless pile after one season. You buy cheap you buy twice. But the Board have to really take a hold of this situation now. No more excuses. Just like when you have to stop blasting a useless player, you soon have to start looking at the manager for picking him. The Boards time is coming and I’d be seriously pissed off if he fails again yet they offer him a new deal.

    the board have been telling us for years there is money to spend and have done zilch about it in regards to pushing wenger, so don't expect a change anytime soon.
