Wenger usually gets an easy ride from the media so any suggestion that this witchhunt against Wenger is media led is foolish. The media would be happy with us getting fourth every year without questioning him. The Jacqui Oatleys of this world are few and far between.
Why are you comparing Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Bayern Munich to Arsenal. They are at different stages. Our target at the moment isn't to win 3 trophies a year, it's to grow as a club so that we can get to that stage. At the AGM the board were talking about their plans to get to the level of the top teams, and to do that they must set out a steady blueprint if they want to achieve that soon.
Wenger is humble because he is bottling up his feelings and taking the blame for what is going on. He is humble because he could have left the club to win trophies elsewhere.
How do you know he hesitates in the transfer market? Oh that's right, you listen to who the media link us with, even though he may not have been going after a player. If you build your hopes up on transfer rumours you'll always be let down as a gooner.
Of course he will say the same thing when he is being interviewed. Every manager is usually told to limit how much information they give out to the public, it's his way of staying professional. Not every manager will be as "entertaining" as Mourinho.
He did not belittle the female reporter, she was stupid enough not to listen to what he just said and tried to twist his words and he gently corrected her. That spat was clearly caused by Mourinho, who was obstructing him as he was about to look at Alexis who had just been on the wrong end of a horrific foul. You act like Wenger is a childish person when he's always had class, and Mourinho's always tried to get under his skin.
We know he hesitates in the transfer market the same way you know he's humble! Unless you're his wife, I doubt you can say anything about his personal character for certain.
What I do know for sure, as I've seen it with my own eyes is he doesn't like responding to questions that call him to account, to which he invariably comes across as petulant and arrogant.

Pretty much this. The only thing i agreed with is Banning players talking to the media. I don't believe they should unless we have won something. Our players talk too much rubbish in the media and its time to stop and do the talking on the pitch.
on the injury to David Ospina...
It is exactly the same one [as from the World Cup]. He had his first injury at Nice - it was a knee problem and he was a bit rushed back and did not use his leg, so his muscle became weaker. Then he got injured in the World Cup. After that, he came to us injured after the World Cup and it took him two months to play again. I had to bring him on against Galatasaray without a warm up and being prepared, so he had a recurrence of that injury. It means he is out for two to three months, now we have to be really careful because it is a recurrence of a thigh injury, which is very difficult. It is a long-term injury.
Ospina crocked for a few months now. when it rains with us it really pours. Now we have to put up with sczhesney for longer ffs.

Fully agree with this.
Just seen the BBC interview and he came across very badly.
Everybody knew we needed a new DM and a new CB but mr £8mil a year decided not to bother, his vanity project at our club will end up costing the fans whilst he earns huge sums. He appears to have no desire to win or to change his ways, he is destroying his legacy every season.
Arsene humble? Possibly the most ridiculous thing I have ever read on this thread and that's saying something. Even if what you say is true (it isn't) taking the blame and not moving elsewhere to win trophies wouldn't be humble, it would be monumentally stupid and utterly disrespectful to the fans by pocketing £8m a year whilst not standing up and telling the truth.

Are you all really deluded enough to believe that Wenger does not want to buy players to cover positions he needs? He's a top class manager and knows exactly what needs to be done, but he cannot do it because of board limitations.
He was quite friendly in the interview, friendlier than I would have been to the silly woman. She clearly didn't listen to him and he's supposed to give her the time of day?
On another note, Happy birthday to the legend Arsene Wenger.

I think it is you that is deluded, board limitations! Pull the other one.
I take it from this post and your one in the Ched Evans thread that you are incredibly sexist.

Really? Makes you wonder why he wasted those precious 'limited' resources the board allow him on Alexis rather than on midfield and defence doesn't it? Surely the weaknesses in those positions would have been much more of a priority to him seeing how he is still such a top class manager wouldn't they?
That isn't to say that I think the Alexis signing was bad (although given how appallingly he is mis-managing the Ozil situation we should probably reserve judgement) but I think other areas of the team were crying out for far more urgent attention.

Look no further than your mirror for the answer to that one!

Not tonight he's suspended Martinez is in goal and some unknown teenager will be on the bench.

Anderlecht seem pumped but think it should be a comfortable win for us in the end.
oh dear another arsene fc supporter
I hope so

Agreed, poorly set up, poor play, poor ht team talk to come up followed by poor substitutions.
Carzola seems to be the new Jon Jensen, he's become terrible.
Two average teams - one shit match.
It was never going to be pretty tbf. Get the points what matters tbh. Cl group games are always dire imo.
Look no further than your mirror for the answer to that one!
Let's hope the bolded comes to pass. Not looking like it will though from what we've seen so far.
Should've been comfortable but been a terrible performance, Wilshere, Ramsey and carzola seem intent on playing worse than the other each game.
Surely Chamberlain on soon.
