Forgetting this season for a minute. Except for man u citeh and chelski can anyone name a team that should, with all their resourses, realistically year after year be finishing above us in the league. I cant, we have bigger revenues than all the teams below a bigger ground, we charge the highest ticket prices and we pay more wages than them all. So please remind me again, what is wenger doing so remarkable, that commands his lofty wage. he's doing just what we could possibly expect, bare minimum. How many times in the last 12 years has he done a leicester. Even the spuds are punching above their weight, stoke, southampton, west ham, bournmouth punching above their weight, when was the last time we did. Please remind me, I have a terrible memory.

We haven't even punched our own weight let alone above it!
28 Apr 2016 23:12:45
But as Wenger will probably point out, how many of them have continually finished in top and 4 and qualified for CL for 19 years?
Just saying :-)
28 Apr 2016 23:30:23
And he'd be right to do so Dags as long as he also pointed out they've all been champions more than once during that time.
1st 2nd 5th 1st 2nd or
4th 4th 4th 3rd 4th?
I know which I'd choose.
Consistency is much used word in football but seldom followed by AVERAGE in a complimentary manner.

Yes but the thing is that makes football football is that you dream of doing better and that's the bottom line dags. It's been year after year in the champions league and it's now like big deal. It's ok all these fans from lower clubs telling us we should be thankful but you have to forget their bs and realise your an arsenal fan and for us and our high standards it is simply not good enough and rightly so!

Totally agree G62 and Sanogo.
At least the money men are happy.
29 Apr 2016 12:32:56
have you ever thought that actually we were punching above our weight all those seasons that we did not have the resources and had to sell all out best players?
29 Apr 2016 12:57:31
BREAL
spot on but that is not what some want to hear.
Steve bar man u city Chelsea who else has won the league before this year. (lol Blackburn)
Is this not described as the weirdest season yet a freak.
When Arsene came did he not improve us, make us one off Europe's best.
How quick we forget,
Maybe we are GREEDY,
29 Apr 2016 13:01:02
Gunner b the answer to that is definitely not, far from it, we have always had more resourses than most and even more now. The question was, name some teams that have more resourses than us basically below fourth that we finish above regularly. Wenger is achieving nothing special.
29 Apr 2016 13:25:40
Welsh wenger improved what rioch was doing but gg was winning leagues, fa cup, league cup and a european cup. Wenger for a while got that back, bur to say we have that now and are one of the best teams in europe is laughable. Name me teams we are year on year beating who have more resourses than us, what are we doing so special.
29 Apr 2016 16:17:40
These Wenger debates are quite interesting I must say. We talk more about him than any transfer rumours lol. Steve obv you are a massive Wenger out fan. Fair enough. But if he spent big this summer and we had a squad capable of winning but we still finished 4th how would you feel about that. Blame him? Possibly Hard to answer seeing as you wouldn't know his tactics etc lol. But give it a go. And other Arsene out people. Be interesting if he can repair the lost faith in him.
29 Apr 2016 18:01:45
I wouldn't blame him as much!
It's the fact every man and his dog knew he wouldn't win anything unless he bought! Not 1 outfield player. I said at the time as a long standing wenger in that even after all that crap last Sumer that the time to judge was at the end of a season. Now it's the end of the season and he has to go or pull some amazing signings out of the bag and quick. The only argument in the wenger in camp that has any validity is who else can we get! But for me that still isn't a strong enough case. So this Summer with any look it will be wenger out and us out of the EU ðŸ‘ðŸ».
29 Apr 2016 18:25:25
D16, what are you on about, he didn't spend and even if he did, the guy is not up to it anymore. For goodness sake 20 years is too long for anyone at top level sport, how many people ard actually able to do a top job on orcof the pitch for that long, in fact any sport, none and he's no different.
29 Apr 2016 20:04:58
Steve I think you should be asking yourself what you're on about or skip that and learn to read ;) . I said if he spends this summer. Meaning the one coming. I'm quite aware he didn't spend last summer I do follow the team enough to become aware of that lol.
30 Apr 2016 00:03:37
Yes D16 i stand corrected. Personally i think if he did spend this summer we wouldn't do much better, spending and buying is only part of the problem. For starters pep coming is bad news for wenger, moureen might be bad news for wenger, conti at chelski will be bad news for wenger, klopp with his team will be bad news for wenger, poch is bad news for wenger. I said it at the start of this season, the best managers are not in the prem, the only manager that has won the champs league has just come in to manage newcastle, but next season there will be three or four at least who have won or capable of wiining it and recent domestic leagues, been a thorn in wengers side and wenger couldn't lace their boots as a manager of top teams. He will be so out of his depth.
