Who's Next?

[Power n Glory]

The Mirror have a report saying Arsene Wenger has been stunned by the level of abuse around the stadium. It's impossible to ignore and along with the empty seats around the ground. He may end up walking away if it continues so we really don't know what will happen at this rate.

This report seems more about villifying fans than anything, I wouldn't be surprised that it wasn't put out by the club as a way of briefing against fans so they can be dismissed as nasty malcontents.

There is a suggestion that Wenger was being called a c**t by fans near his dugout, but fans who have season tickets in this area have strenuously denied it and have suggested that there were calls for him to go, but no abusive language

[Marc Overmars]

I genuinely think he doesn't understand the extent of the frustration. He thinks he is doing a good job.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

No he knows there is frustration, he just thinks that fans are fickle he has this constant and patronising mantra of "everyone has opinions" but because he is a football manager and we are not, his opinions matter and ours don't

I trust anyone shouting cunt at Wenger from the crowd would be rapidly dealt with by the fans around them. So I don't believe this story for a second. Sounds like the media has finally sensed blood in the water so it'll be a frenzy from here on. Free hand to make up whatever stories they want from their imaginary insiders.

I do believe the story about Wenger giving the players a bunch of time off though. The whole season has struck me as some bizarre energy conservation project.

I totally agree with you there

Marc did you go to the Palace game? What was the atmosphere like? Or were you at club level again?

I bet the boos drowned out the string quartet

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Stayed away from the Emirates largely this season, the worst abuse I have ever heard Wenger subjected to was "spend some fucking money" which of course isn't abuse.

And as NQ states I think anyone subjecting Wenger to vitriolic abuse would have been called out for it by other fans at the Emirates, i went to the home game against Newcastle a week after the Stoke train station video was released and although there were Wenger out banners outside the ground the atmosphere was that it was totally unacceptable to shout that at the manager and as we played very well in that game there were even "one Arsene Wenger" chants in the stands.
