Boys i see that most of you want wenger out .
If and when wenger leaves there will be lots of changes at the club, he is not as bad as manager as some of you make out, look what happened at united when fergie left, wenger is consistent even though he might not bring in trophy after trophy, chamoions league every year, he is a good judge of a player look what he did with henry and rvp, some other players that were doing well at arsenal didn't do so
22 Jan 2017 12:43:54
I pressed send a bit early.
I was that players doing well at arsenal didn't do so good after leaving.
Anyway just be careful what you wish for.

I'm still pro Wenger, although not as much as I once was.
Wenger has heaps of positives, but the club hasn't really challenged for the title in a decade and whilst that was understandable during the period we were under financial strain it is most definitely not an issue now. That is the sticking point for most fans, they want trophies above all else. Many even call for Simeone to be appointed, which would ultimately see us shift from the style of football we've become known for over Arsene's reign to something resembling Mourinho's brand of football if somebody gave him the keys to a second bus.
Honestly I'm not opposed to a change but it caries huge risks and I just don't have faith in the board to appoint somebody who would lift the club, as well as maintain everything Wenger has put in place that makes us 'Arsenal'

What is the difference between being second, third or fourth vs sixth ot seventh? Nothing!
Fergie was different, he was winning leagues. 7 of them in his last 10 years so obviously getting a replacement of similar ilk is difficult to impossible. Getting someone who can consistently get us top four on the other hand is not that hard methinks

I think regardless of wenger in or wenger out! Surely we have to be all in agreement that change can only happen if a suitable candidate is available . If the end of the season comes and the likes of klopp, koeman, allegri or luis Enrique are possible then regardless of if your in or out then you have to say yes please because wenger will have to be replaced at some point and that's a fact. Now I think that if a top draw manager isn't available then wenger will stay until one is! Now that's the type of guy he is! A pure legend.
He won't leave until he is satisfied . The man has given a third of his life to the club! His legacy and he won't have a ten a penny manager take over. I know that fergie left united and moyes was the torch carrier! But a man with a wooden head knew that would go tits up. The same won't happen at arsenal! Fear not boys we might not be doing as well as we all would like but we won't have 4-5 shocking seasons like united

What good football?
We haven't played quality football in 5 years
22 Jan 2017 19:42:17
MG - come on, that's not true. No good football in 5 years, really? I must have been watching a different side then

Lea 12 you are just fishing and trolling. Trying to cause trouble. I know loads of opposition fans who want wenger to stay, I know why too, because they know the potential that could be unlocked.
22 Jan 2017 20:18:27
Steve r, i wasnt fishing, it doesn't matter to me whether he goes or stays. i'm lost as to what potential your on about.
22 Jan 2017 20:49:24
The potential to win the league and go far in the champs league. You know things your team used to do.
22 Jan 2017 20:32:56
How you work that out! We haven't won league in 13 and back to back fa cups season before last?
22 Jan 2017 21:21:41
Steve how long does potential take
22 Jan 2017 21:46:29
As long as a piece of string. The potential is all ready there, players, the stadium, the finance, the stability, its just missing the person to develop it and bring this club up to the next level. And your next wisecrack is?
23 Jan 2017 00:11:43
That would want to speed up, spurs seem to be overtaking ye in all those areas
23 Jan 2017 01:11:08
Really!
