Nah, there are limits and after 8 years of this shit it's fair enough of people want to say those limits have been crossed.
All I want is to see some decent football. Our goal today was worth watching. That was it. Imagine paying £60 to watch that one moment. That's not even in the same universe as value and even if a couple of players are thrown on top it won't make much odds. Our football is shit. It really will take a whole new management team to come in here and sweep the place out and build again. Surely by now we can see that Wenger is incapable of this?
Für eure Sicherheit
The problem is that Wenger can't see the problems. His review of last season took him 5 minutes to conclude that we were unlucky not to win the title so nothing really needs to change. Not formation , not tactics, not personnel. Nothing. Even now he has firm belief in the quality, spirit and ability of this squad. Not to mention the togetherness, determination and potential of his players. Today was all about the referee.
I have no doubt he will be vindicated. On to the next match.
I think one of the weirdest things this summer is that we didn't go for Benteke. (well its not that weird cos our transfer policy is fucked up).
This guy actually handed in a transfer request and is an Arsenal fan! I mean WTF! We could have got him for £20m. Top clubs have 3 top strikers so if you think you can buy better than Benteke you stil buy him anyway cos at least then you've bought a decent player for the squad if the main striker target doesn't come off.
That would require us to have some sort of strategy in place.
There is no rational explanation for (up to this point) having signed no one this summer, even my 10 year old cousin can tell you exactly what the problems are, it's obvious to everyone except the people that matter. Are we supposed to believe that no one who's moved this window is good enough for Arsenal? The criteria for being good enough for Arsenal is very different to what it was 10 years ago.

If this were seven years ago, I'd have a word with myself after a post like that. Not now. And especially not after this clusterfuck of a summer. A summer where the only difference is that we have somehow contrived to neglect the squad even more than in the past.
Wenger is powerful enough to have avoided this situation. He hasn't, and he may well be the architect who designed the mess this club has become. Eight years of this is more than enough for me.
When Wenger first arrived, he was an innovator. Now the game has changed and has passed him by. Add this to an inept board, and its a recipe for disaster, and a disaster unfolding in front of us. This club is a million miles away from winning anything, and that worries me.
Wenger is a fucking idiot that's why. We all know where to strengthen the team. We could do his job on 1 penny, let alone £7m a year.
A CDM was needed, and now why the fuck would either Bender come here now ? Both of them are at clubs already in the champions league. Fellaini ? Well Wenger didn't think he deserves more than he earns at Everton, even though we've cleared out shit loads on debt on dog shit players he signed. We're going to have to make do with Flamini, it's going to end up like that.
Everyone's right, enough is enough, he's gone after this year anyway. He ruined his own legacy..
Gazidis can fuck off aswell, fucking cunt he is, earning £2.25m a year, and does fuck all. Fucking bellend.
Why did we sell RVC ? Saw his goals the other day, and it was quite painful.

Get them allWayne Rooney set up two goals in Manchester United's win over Swansea but the 27-year-old still wants to leave the Old Trafford club, with Chelsea his preferred destination and Arsenal his contingency plan.

Arsenal will have to pay £25m if they want to sign 27-year-old Swansea striker Michu, while the Gunners are also interested in Manchester City right-back Micah Richards.
