As long as they don't speak bad of the man, personally at least, then marches are fine by me. It may just focus the clubs attention in the January window somewhat. He deserves to finish out the season at the least but there's no harm in fans making their feelings known between now and then.

Quick question, are the marches against the performances of the team, or a AW out march? I haven't seen any links to it anywhere

Anyone who marches for Wenger out is a clown in my book

Why?

Marches are the better option for fans who have serious concerns. You may not accept that but many feel disillusioned right now. I'm totally against stadium protests as the team need all the support they can get right now so I'm not bothered by any well organised legitimate fans marching outside or away from the Emirates.

HazDanz

Mourinho came in last season and saw the faults he needed to fix and now he has a team that can win championships. Wenger sees a weakness and he does not fix it, he uses a middle man to fill the hole.

Injuries list has been terrible but the mentality of the team has been worse which can only be a blame you place on Wenger.

After the FA cup win I felt we could kick on with a few decent signings and a strong mentality. We've come short on both counts and we are paying for it now.

Just booked flights and accom for January to go over and see my beloved Just a question for anybody that has a red membership and bought tickets before, will I definitely get tickets if I book it the minute they go on sale? Its the Aston Villa game on a Sunday if that makes a difference, cheers.

I always find the actual system slow and annoying the morning they go on sale. Just a landing bar for most of the time, as everyone is put in queues. For the man U game I just let it sit there and I got a ticket that way. Didn't end up going into the Ticket Exchange if I remember correctly. And that would be a busy one so it's doable!

you should be able to get a ticket yeah, if you got a membership card that is your ticket once you pay for admission.

board = get rid of wenger at the end of the season

wenger = listen to the fans and the gaping holes of our side(no defenders, no CDM, lack of a plan B, Playing players out of position etc) and fix them.

Thoe are two possible outcomes

Don't think that there was ever any explanation, but I'd hazard a guess that the mods saw it as a pending disaster/flame war.

Imagine the last 60 pages of this thread, then add a poll, and tonnes of other teams supporters. I'm glad I don't have another thread to get worked up over!

Strange, it was interesting seeing other views on him too - though arsenal being a mid table club when he goes was a weird one.

Probably those Chelsea mods, "who finances arsenal" :pac:

Because marches should be saved for bigger things like political reasons or a mass protest against an overbearing or unjustifiable practice.

Has Arsenal Football club become that? Has it ****.

Have we done everything right. No. Could we do things better. **** yeah. Is there big weaknesses. yes. Can they be fixed. Yes. Who has been best at fixing our weaknesses, Wenger. Before now if he left who would you want to replace him. Klopp. Where are Dortmund now?

Does Wenger get deserved to be paraded through the streets and made a laughing stock of -no more than my mother does.

And that's why I'd never work with my dad.

Of course, there'd be drastically less money involved, but still, same principle.

Very sad for him though.

You couldn't say that this season in fairness.
Our weaknesses were apparent to everyone before the season even started.

A lot of people reported it as an "Are Arsenal/Wenger done" thread. The kind of thread that has casued huge issues in the past for flaming and trolling.

I had nothing to do with closing it anyway.

I think it warranted discussion and was civil but I can see looking in, how it could have went if there was a raft of posts to take it off topic and troll.

Ye can still debate it in here and any fan can come in and give their own views on it.

Good idea - the sooner we can get this cursed (I'm looking at you Gav) thread to 10k and closed, the better

Think Schneiderlin said he will wait till the end of the season to decide as Southampton are doing so well. I reckon its the Carvalho lad that Wenger is after beyond that at this stage I would be happy with a defender, any defender!

Wenger could surely have got Carvalho in the summer if he had tried.
I personally think we will not buy in January, we rarely do and Wenger has always said that the value in Jan is not good.

I agree, we'll find some form, players injured come back and at best we'll see a CB in the average bracket

I must say though I enjoyed your question about who financed arsenal.

And I always enjoy your posts actually.

But it was funny. I'm a neutral and just respect arsenal for what they have achieved as a club. But Chelsea really hit the jackpot!?

Do you reckon it could have been any club picked that day? Roman Abromavich. What a man.

Wengerout! Haha

Well story goes Roman wanted a london club and it was between ourselves and Spurs.

Not sure how true it is though.

I'm in the Wenger in camp myself, I believe he tried to fill the gaps in the squad over the summer but just wasn't able to to the extent we needed. Nobody saw the injury crisis coming that we've found ourselves in.

No matter how much we think we know about football, Wenger knows more. I'm going to keep the faith for the time being, and reserve judgment until the end of the season. Wanting him ousted in November is a bit silly.

These are just more excuses though. There are gaps in our squad and injuries every season, this season is no different.

Think most people don't want him gone until the season is over.

With respect I think quite the opposite of most of what you say.
I dont think he tried hard enough to fill the gaps, Our injury record is brutal and has been for a few years, they should have been better prepared.
Obviously Wenger knows more about football than any of us but that doesnt make some of his tactical decisions any less bonkers, especially in the last few seasons.
Ive lost faith in him changing his ways but I do think wanting him out now would be a bad move

No he hasn't. His hands were tied for most of that period by the stadium build. I'm getting bored of repeating that so often.
