Wullie Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Surely, Arsene has to be under a bit of pressure now? They've won fuck all for a few seasons now, last couple they've been nowhere near the title, this year they're gonna fail again, if they dont win the Champions League this season, and then nothing again next season, serious questions are going to have to be asked. Even when Man U didnt win the title, it was very rare they didnt win a trophy. Bollocks. Apples and oranges. Whilst I do think he's a fantastic manager, obviously, I do find it a little unusual that Wenger is pretty much immune to any criticism in the press. He has somewhat dismantled the team of 'invincibles' and this is the closest they've got to the title since - and I'd happily wager they won't even come top 2. How has he "dismantled" them? He's sold them on for canny fees and very few of them are doing anything elsewhere. He hasn't had access to anything near the finances of Chelsea or Man Utd, even Liverpool for that matter, yet people expect him to not only compete, but beat them. Victim of his own success.

Some might say fate conspired against them a little. I think Eduardo's injury had a little mentl effect on them that day at Birmingham and the less about the pitch at Wigan the better. Probably lame excuses but maybe reasons why they have at least dropped 4 points in recent weeks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gggg Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 If he was at a big club Wenger would have been sacked long ago but Arsenal seem content to let him go on this never ending kiddy project. He's said again he wont spend big in the summer. Why? he's at one of the richest clubs in the world. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest gggg Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Big clubs ambitions at the start of the season are to win everything, Arsenal are happy to win nothing. Would he get away with doing that at Real Madrid? No chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would he get away with doing that at Real Madrid? No chance. You cant believe that Arsenal are happy with winning nothing. Maybe they just have a different attitude to the likes of Real Madrid and think that for what he has won previously, he deserves some patience and time. Barring Capello's saving act last season, Real's recent chopping and changing has hardly brought them tons of success. Am I right in thinking that the title last year was the first thing they have won in 4/5 years. Certainly the only thing Beckham won while he was there.

Gash Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Arsenal may yet win the Champions League or has everyone conveniently forgotten about that and if Arsene Wenger got sacked the Arsenal board want shooting. Fucking enraged. Loads of Chelsea fans in the pub who could barely speak english, never mind their own name. Never stepped foot in Stamford Bridge, idiots. And first goal was offside, fucking helll.

I think the money has been there, but he's afraid of getting his fingers burnt. Had he wanted to he could easily have gone out and spent the Henry money on a big name, but he chose not to. It's the Wenger way, and he's had fantastic success with it, but I think this reluctance to spend big on a player can be construed as a flaw now, especially with the huge revenues Arsenal now have.

Liam Liam Liam O Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 The Chelsea fans made to look like the stupid glory-hunting know-nowt cunts they are. They'll be fucking livid if Grant wins them the league obviously. Feel quite sorry for the bloke. It would almost make it worth seeing them win it.

Wullie Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 I didn't even understand what they were moaning about. Getting beat and he brought off Makelele, the world's most defensive midfielder, and Michael Ballack, who they all hate anyway and have made no secret of the fact - and brought on an attacking full back and Nicolas Anelka. How is that not a good substitution? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
