Wenger hits back on the Arsenal fans again, and of course it’s always the same. by KM
Wow that fraud of a manager called Arsene Wenger hit back at Thierry Henry who said that the Arsenal fans are angrier than ever and at least from my opinion that is very true. “They were less patient than I have ever known, booed one of the managers substitution and groaned every time a pass went astray or a tackle was lost.” said our legendary striker – and that is the sole truth.
But Wenger having the most durable earplugs probably didn’t hear it that way saying: “He has not found the measurement of the fans angriness, of 60,000 people straight away, because he sits in the best seats of the stadium”.
But by far the best quote was this one “We prepare for every single game with the same intensity, the same focus and there is not a lot of special things to do. Maybe the impact and consequences on the table [are more significant] but the preparation is the same”.
Maybe there is something special to do Arsene? Maybe Barcelona do it? Maybe teams adjust to opponents in order to beat them. Maybe it’s because it’s always the same is why we always lose to Chelsea, Man Utd and Swansea? Because we are predictable. Most of the fans can name the starting line up without a second thought.
Maybe other managers have learned your number because it’s always the same. Arsenal football club needs an earthquake under it’s feet to break the old and start something new. The empty seats and the boos against Swansea will feel like nothing after Wenger loses against the spuds.
The reason this football club hasn’t moved forward in 10 years is the fact people still believe in him. Maybe they live in the past, or maybe 4th place is their dream, or maybe they like throwing away money to watch this circus called Arsenal with it’s main clown in charge?
He still has an enormous support among the fans, despite the fact he is just not good enough, no, he is not good at all, but with that amount of support he’s never leaving. The problem is if we somehow by a miracle greater than those of Jesus himself occurs and we win against Tottenham everything will be forgotten.
Those 12 years of hurt will be forgotten like ancient history and it will be eclipsing the problem with a piece of A4 paper over our eyes. The Wenger believers will be back from the shadows in a swipe if we win our next game and a new contract with them on the way.
Maybe my definition of patience is different, but for the first five years I actually believed Wenger too that bad luck and lack of money were the problem, but bad tactics, lack of transfers when funds are available, and the teams lack of desire on the pitch is enough. Every year it is the same.
I understand why Van Persie, Fabregas, Nasry and Adebayor even all left. I mean I’d feel pain if I was Ozil and had to play with Walcott, Giroud and Ramsey on the pitch. And the only person trying in Campbell gets replaced.
My biggest fear after the one that Wenger will be here for another 10 years is the fact, he’ll be replaced by another yes man! Arsenal needs a manager like Mourinho and Simeone. Someone that will put the heat under those players and make them play with desire. Set a spark in their eyes! Give the hairdrier sometimes if it’s needed.
But don’t worry, with Arsenal and Wenger it is always the same. He has become Arsenal football club. Everything is him. The board is in his pocket, all the players are brought by him and react to his mood. You can replace Arsene and Arsenal in every sentence and it’ll be valid.
A new era at Arsenal can only start with the fans, because no other force of nature will move that deluded statue from it’s place. The backlash after this weekend followed by an FA cup exit and a Barcelona spanking though might be just the thing we need!
A few defeats in a row might be hard to swallow but if in the end they bring a cure to this disease I’ll take the red pill.
