sincerely we’re trying to fit a square peg into a round hole.AW shldn’t leave.he should rather be made the Dean, (professor) H.O.D, and Rector of Arsenal Football Accademy. He’s better in bringing boys up than winning trophy.
Madness is doing the same thing and expecting different result.as long as AW is our coach, all u have to do is smile at our gains and cry in our pains….just watch out for your chin:u can spoil ‘em quick that way!

I’m an asrenal fan and the trouble with us is we simply have no depth in the squad; thats what seperates us from chelsea and man u they have depth we dont simple as. To require depth we need to spend its as simple as that. Bendter has to go i’m sorry he just isnt arsenal material; we need some back up in the centre midfield cause if fabregas gets injured we basically f’ed. we need strikers RVP is always injured adebayor just needs more time to mature. WE NEED TO PLAY WALCOTT MORE ON THE RIGHT AND HAVE A ROTATION IN RIGHT BACK OF EBOYE AND SAGNA IF ONE GETS INJURED WE JUST ROTATE. all we need is about 3-4 players this transfer window and we’ll be fine!! in conclusion my view is this i am gettin pissed of wenger and am gettin critical of him but dont want him to go; however if the non-spending continues an and we end up trophiless (for say another 6 or more seasons) then arsenal may need to look elsewhere and i say may not for definete!

Wenger is a genius and we trust in him. However, he is not infallible. if only he collected mistakes earlier as Mckenzie has said, and if only the board did not take him as a football god, i believe Arsenal would be a team to watch.

he is too conservative and has too much faith on unproven guys/tactics. yes he is a very good coach, but sometimes one must be realistic. some players i.e Fab, Gallas are tired but they cannot rest coz of the period we are in and the bench has mediocre players to play on their behalf coz they need a break. with the Euro coming, most of the players will still be tired come the next season. this means we need to buy players this summer. but i can bet onn you Mr know it all (wenger) will choose to watch as our bitter rivals strengthen there already stronger squads than ours. if only you could soften up Arsene!!!

“The Acadian” – we need strikers with international or emerging international credentials you say? Van Persie, Adebayor, Eduardo, Bendnter are all regular internationals, and Walcott is clearly an emerging international, having been in the World Cup squad at 17 years old.

Glory hunter? I don t think so – I started supporting Arsenal in 1968 and we promptly went out and lost to Swindon in the League Cup Final. I – and the others writing above – supported Arsenal home and away long before Mr Wenger had even heard of the club and it would be disloyal to our club to simply sit on our hands now and not voice legitimate concerns for the future. No manager however great should be guaranteed a job for life and it s crazy to suggest this. I don t think Wenger should go now – I d give him another two, maybe three, seasons to prove his point – but a club of our size, history and stature has got to win trophies in that time to be considered successful: the Premiership and the ECL. Playing great football will never be enough. This is a club and a fanbase that was prepared to forgive boring football for many years – 71 etc. – in return for results and trophies. The comments on the FA Cup and League Cup ring true: losing those games destroyed confidence and cost us momentum. Having said all that we ll get a 2-2 draw at Anfield and then we re on our way to Moscow!

Wenger is one of the most intelligent men in football. He understands, at the end of each season, what he needs to improve upon. If this season is a learning experience, the team have done fantastically well (3rd in prem and progress in CL). Give him a break.

Wenger is a very good manager with so much experience and I am sure he loves Arsenal and wishes to make the club the best in the world, but the man is so stubborn and it’s costing the club money, trophies and a larger fan base. I am convinced we would’ve won the league atleast this season, if AW had brought in timely re-enforcements in the january transfer window. We need an impact player, a striker who can convert the many chances created by this team. We are not winning now because the team is tired, due to many games and not enough depth to cover. To succesfully challenge for the league title in England, you must have quality in depth to cover for injuries, fatigue, and loss of form. We have a strong first 11, and a not so strong supporting cast, coupled with the high energy style of footbal we play, Arsenal with continue to be an also ran team. The thing that irks me a lot is that it will not take a lot of money to fix this team like some people are saying, two or three quality players will enable us scale the huddle, but AW will rather concentrate on his quest to recruit every pimple-faced teenager that shows a glimpse of football skills. I like AW, but I am starting to think that he’s believing his own hype a little bit too much.
