West Ham away (PL) Match Reaction Thread

[Marc Overmars]

Same here.

If you give up the Silver now, you will have a near eternal memory of Wenger's last xteen seasons of rinse and repeat whenever you don't manage to get a ticket because of your shitty Red membership.

When the time comes for a new manager, I definitely want to be there to throw my support behind him.

Even if it's somebody who looks remarkably like Wenger in a false nose and glasses?

Yeah I want to be there too when the circle is finally broken. Like GB said to me a while ago "don't let wenger push you away"

NLD derby will possibly be my owner visit next season.

I'm not going again until we have a new manager in charge, won't make any difference to the bean counters but hey ho. If Wenger really loved the club as much as he says, he'd realise it should be time up.

With Leicester and Spurs on course to finish above us and clinch the title, it's a new low for us. We're not getting any better in the league despite adding more top quality players and spending more money. We finished on 79 points the season we signed Ozil. Following season we finished on 75 points despite adding Sanchez. Highest we can get this season is 77 and that's if we win all.our games.

It is a weird one because we're going to finish below Leicester but probably above most of the other usual suspects. It's been a weird season all round.
I think 'new low' is exaggeration but we're going in the wrong direction and need someone to turn it around, it's increasingly clear that Wenger can't.

[Gooner23]

It's definitely a new low for me. The fact shitty and chavs have both been off the boil makes it even harder to take. This season was an open goal and we have fucked it up on spectacular fashion. Disaster of a season and Wenger is completely responsible. Any other top team in Europe and he'd be fired.

[Niall_Quinn]

Of course it is a new low. That's a polite way of putting it. All those years listening to excuses about how we couldn't compete because of finances. Then the dopers explode and we still can't compete. This is the season that has confirmed we never had a chance with Wenger in charge. It was all one big illusion while Wenger got on with the business of making big money for the guys at the top. No wonder they have rushed out to support him. He's their cash cow and this new low of a season is the first real threat to him. If he is to go on shovelling cash for Kroenke and Co a new set of excuses will be required and pronto. The current one seems to be this is a weird, one-off season. That won't hold for long though because of course the fans realise that one-off or not it was the season where the door was wide open for us, and if things go back to normal next season we're in some real shit. Wenger and crew better hope it's a one-off because their precious 4th place trophy will be under severe threat otherwise.

So just shut up and take it in other words.

I'm not saying shut up, if you want to protest next season if it makes you feel better than go for it, but I imagine that will be all you acheive.
Frustration is usually a result of unwillingness to accept you are in a hopeless situation.

Wengers reaction in press conferences and anything you can read about the Rams in United States will give you all the information you need.

I honestly don't know what will happen at the end of next season, but even if Wenger goes there is no overwhelming obvious choice to succeed him. No Wenger is not good enough, but are any of the candidates we have been linked with up to the job?.
I think Leicester City and Ranieri are proof that the influence a manager has is overstated, Wenger needs to go because he hasn't got the ruthlessness to instigate a root and branch change in the squad.

Getting rid of Ospina, Mertesacker, Ramsey, Walcott, Campbell and Giroud along with Flamini, Arteta and Rosicky.

This weekend a back four of internationals abrogated their responsibilities by pulling back too deep allowing too many crosses to come into the box, you can blame tactical naievity as much as you like but these are professional footballers they shouldn't need the constant guidance of a crusty old frog in a sleeping bag straight jacket to know how to defend.

Of course that's not to excuse Wenger, these are his players he picks the team and in failing to spend he has stuck with players who either don't care or aren't very good.

[Munchies]

Skipped through this.

Good vid.

'Arsene Wenger watched us finish 3rd last season and thought the squad could do better than that and a CL knockout stage exit, so he signed no outfield players and worse has unfolded.'
