Letters, Wenger is a loon, face it. He's got these dumb statistics coming out of his arse and they all amount to a pile of shit in the end, as we've seen. Plus he's got this stupid phobia about over 30's, it's almost as if he's made it his mission to sabotage this club on the pitch. He's let great players go, at the right time according to media and yet we've never replaced them. He's brought abject shite in instead, what other "top" club would have the likes of a past-it Silvestre or Cygan or Chamakh or Squillaci stinking up the place? Wenger's the problem, plus that money grabbing board he serves so diligently. The evidence is screaming now. Persist with this guy for just one more year and the damage might be terminal.
ALL of those articles are from way before Vieira left. They may contain quotes where he complains about this or that after a disappointing result or season but I don't see how that's relevant. The quotes I posted are from when he left which is what we were talking about. When he did it was our choice to sell him, not his choice to leave because of frustrations about how things were going.
That's what he said when he was trying to persuade us being second best was acceptable. The thing that makes me most angry is he won't even admit he is wrong. It's like he has an ability to blot out every disaster. The guy's got something wrong in his head.
Torres did not fail.
The Torres thing is symptomatic of our crappy season. Our midfield was bone awful and had as much creativity as a vacuum. Torres is a type of striker who thrives on passes played in behind the defence that he can run onto. What he got instead was team-mates mistaking him for Drogba which is most perplexing. If the team actually play in a manner which utilises his abilities properly then he will kick ass.
I fully expect Torres to score tons of goals (assuming he's not perma-injured) next season providing we realise he's not Drogba MK2.

You think the board are listening anyway? The "hysteria" is nothing of the sort, it's anger at seeing a bunch of greedy bastards and their uncompromising tool make a laughing stock out of the club. All for want of a few quid invested and a teeny, tiny concession to reality. You said somewhere else that fans calling for Wenger's head halfway through this famine were behaving unreasonably. I don't think so, I think they were just sharper at reading the writing on the wall. Now it's scrawled fifty feet high in bright red paint. We are in the window that allows for either more of the same or a new direction. We've all seen Wenger fail time after time, why anyone wants more of it is a mystery. Very frustrating. It's like trying to run a car with a broken engine, you change the wheels, change the stereo, take it to the car wash, but no way do you change the engine.
