Players and managers come and go and I for one love and respect wenger! But what I love more is Arsenal and Arsenal first and formost. So for that reason it's time to want what's best for my club and that is change! We pay money and are as loyal as most and we are no longer getting a good return for our money. We need to start paying for dead certs and stop this speculative approach to success.
Sorry old friend you either need to give us a last season to remember and bloody pay the money or you gracefully pack up your shit and get out.

See what you're saying but it's clearly got to a point where no matter what he does it won't be good enough for most of our fans. Not including me however. But say he spends big and we miss out on the league by a point next season. We'll Moan that he did it a season to late.
29 Apr 2016 08:24:30
Like you say that's how it's got.

D if we're actually involved in the title race next season and end up missing out by a point I would be a happy man, the disappointment of not crossing the line in first place would be horrible for a couple of weeks but it wouldn't wipe out the excitement of actually being competitive in the premier league title race again after such a long time of being 4th place chasers.
Few are actually demanding we win the league every year only that we are in the race mmost years.

To be fair was we not in the race this year. Debatable I guess. I dunno it just seems Any kind of slip up from now a lot of fans would be straight up complaining and getting on Arsene and the teams back.

Sanogolovesbentner ther are no dead certs, look at torres, Veron, Jeffers.
a lot of fans have lost it with Arsene and as you say that is the way it is, I just wonder if we get a new manager, start spending big, and start finishing 7th 8th, those same fans that do not see us as a successful club will start wishing that the best individual represent this club out of it.
29 Apr 2016 12:47:46
Of course not but there are choices that no one could condemn.

What a good Debate
Who is better than what we have out their at the moment
He has guided us threw our biggest change as a club. kept us in the top 4 making money every year, paying off the debt
I think and hope we give him one more year and respect him for what he has done.
Bigger clubs than ours would snap him up.
I'm sure we don't know the truth about what has happened behind the scenes, We are working men and the odd comedian,
So let's united and stand together for one more year and Enjoy It.

D was we in the race really mate? I know nothing about motor racing but I'm pretty sure there's no place reserved on the podium for the bloke who was leading half way through the race but finished 10 laps behind the man who was fastest over the whole race, I can't think of a single sport where someone fades out of contention at the half way stage and is considered to be a genuine contender for 1st place.
29 Apr 2016 16:10:49
Yea ok granted we wasn't leading that race but we was still in for a outside chance a few weeks ago so we was in the title race I'd say. Regardless we've still not done good enough.

I have stated the only two ways things can be resolved and have a harmonious year.
1. Wenger spends and spends good
2. Wenger departs.

I agree with you D16. There's something satiating about being in the fight even if you lose out.
The FA cup has always been my favourite competition but I know it's laregly now a token prize as it pales in importance to Champions League participation. I don't think any PL manager would argue against that.
I have a United colleague who took the micky out me celebrating our FA cup wins (just as wind up he loves the cup to) United making the final last week was the first time he's been enthisiastic about United in a couple seasons since the malaise of Fergies departure. He went bloody mental when Martial scored the winner. The point being for fans its the cup is like a blood a sport when you get down to business end of proceedings. It carries the excitment of the fight.
Plodding along lethargically simply filling places on the table is hard to spend money on after enough years of it in succesion. To fight and lose still gives you excitment.
