Alexis Sanchez (official).

[AFC Leveller]

The fans have to look at the bigger picture now? But Wenger gets to wait until the end of the season to view this bigger picture? How does that work then? Plainly we are looking at different bigger pictures. This guy contradicts himself within the space of a paragraph. And if it's so important that we have success then what the fuck happened dude? You call this success? By comparison to what? Crewe Alexandria? Success for a club like Arsenal means challenging for titles and at least not being humiliated in the CL - can we at least have that FFS? Success? Get the fuck out of here! What the fuck are you on about? Are you blind?

This guy lives in his own little fantasy world and assumes that everyone who isn't living in the same place is irrelevant. It's a classic case of delusion. He's ill. He should be in a hospital, not suffering the stress of managing a football club.

Hes out of touch, hes arrogant, hes in denial, hes a liar and a hasbeen.

Wenger turned me into a newt.

Hes a scared old git. Scared of what will happen to him if he loses the couch potatoe security of his Arsenal job. Scared of what his epilogue will be when he has to hand it in. As long as he stays in the job he has the illusion of a greater tomorrow. But when this job is taken from him, the reviews will be harsh, especially if we make the mistake of getting someone who actually knows his job after he leaves.

There will be nowhere to hide for a man who was great for maybe 8 years of his life and woefully inept for the rest. Before he came here he was known as the man who always came 2nd. After he leaves this job, he will be known as the man who could never really make it to the top even with all the tools at his disposal.

John Cross is really digging Alexis out for his recent performances. Ignoring the fact he's scored 3 and got one assist in the past 4 games, 2 of which he didn't start. That's besides the point though, he's happy enough to call out our best player for a perceived lack of performance but what about the manager, for whom it hasn't just been a handful of games but a handful of years?

Little bit selective there.

Wenger put Arsenal on the global map. We can't take that away from him. We'll never see football as good as we saw in the first part of his reign here. It really was magical stuff. Arsenal or Brazil in the 70's? Hard call. Best team to ever play the game in this country and if anyone disputes that they are just jealous or unreasonably biased.

But that was then and this is now.

Something very bad happened at Arsenal during and after the stadium move. The focus of the club was hijacked. People lost their character and I include Wenger in that. It really is impossible for anyone to look at the Invincibles and then look at the shit we are suffering now and not conclude that something very, very bad and something very rotten happened at this club. Greedy and power hungry people who sacrificed a whole culture and history and tradition and who threw away excellence in pursuit of their own personal interests. The people who did this should be vilified, and I again include Wenger in that. I don't care what he says now. He's been part of this all along. The good part and the rancid part. the glory and honour and the shitty, horrible fall from competitive sport into the grubby world of cash. Fuck them all. They have ruined this club and it's hard to see how it will be put back together again. We're a bloody corporation now, suffering the shitbag owners we currently have and waiting for them to sell up so the next shitbag can come it.

Wenger's legacy is now a break even zero. If he pushes on for 2 more years then he goes into deficit. Up to him. If he stays then we have all the answers we need about what sort of man he has become.

Whilst I acknowledge he did some great things and we played some great football which I absolutely loved, what he's done to Arsenal since then is nothing short of scandalous, to go from that to this, boring, repetitive, slow, unentertaining nonsense is just unbelievable and as a club we're in a very bad place at the moment thanks to him. Yes he built the club up but he's also knocked it down a fair few levels since then, when he does leave us, other than having money what else is there to be proud of? We're all about profit and nothing else, there's no respect for the fans and if anything they go beyond that and stick two fingers up at them and on top of that we've had one guy for 20 years who's so ingrained in this clubs culture (the losing culture) it's going to be very very hard for anyone new to come in and change things, if they do it will take a fair amount of time.

He's not left us in a good place at all in my opinion, the culture of the club is to make a profit, the players, staff etc have got a losing mentality, the medical area is nothing short of shambolic, the youth team is a joke, we can't defend and tactically we're inept.

I agree I think it's completely pointless to point fingers at any of the players right now. Players come and go but the results stay the same.

Well nobody is saying everything he does is bad.

Cross is Wenger's bit on the side. A bloke masquerading as a journalist who has zero integrity. Used to be the press represented the people by calling the powerful to account. Cross is one of the new breed who sees it the exact opposite way. That's why he can write such shit without shame.

Alexis #NickingALiving - been there, seen that, get some better material Cross, you twat.

I stopped entertaining the opinion of these idiots. I’m not sure when it happened but I don’t really care what mainstream media pundits have to say about the club these days because it’s rare to find any sort of honesty. They haven’t had the balls to call Wenger out on his bullshit and they’re so out of touch, they still write crap up about us playing beautiful and entertaining football but lacking that physical presence. Rehash stories from 2006! They’re totally out of touch with what’s going on at the club, zero commentary on tactics, player types, trends….it’s the gossip rag stuff that they’re only good for.

I prefer reading and listening to content created by the fans like Arseblog, podcasts like Arsenal Vision or even Arsenal Fan TV. They’re at least honest and know what they’re talking about. These fraudulent pundits are probably stealing material from the bloggers anyway. They’re definitely checking the sites to come up with some of the stuff they’ve only recently said about Wenger.

The opinion of these idiots?

It's not John Cross' opinion, he's just doing his job. His job is to report upon what the club tells him to report upon in order to get favourable access. He is doing that job superbly.
