Random Arsenal Shit (When it's not worth starting a thread)

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Without Wenger, this con job wouldn't have been possible. I think more people are catching on. I think it was Merson who said after Sir Chips performance at the AGM, Wenger came out smelling of roses with some fans falling for the okie doke singing the managers praises again. Merse called it a game. It's manipulation. We've all been played.

Is it?

I think they are far too conceited, complacent and contemptuous of fans to even bother playing games with them.

Sir Chips Keswick is a dusty old trilobite from the same mould as Hill Wood (we thank you for your interest in our affairs).

Wenger is of course capable of turning on the charm, when he’s not indulging in his pointless self serving ruminations he can be engaging and interesting to listen to. It’s reading a bit too much into it to even think people like the AST are fooled into thinking Arsene is the absolute boy and it’s the board holding him back because of that speech.

The AGM is what it is, people giving a presentation to people they don’t want to be giving a presentation to and wish they’d shut their mouths and take the generous offers for their shares.

Has nothing to do with Kroenke, I think Wenger did wait as long as he did to sign a new contract because he was weighing up his fear of retirement his obsessive desire for control on all levels against the stick he rightly gets from the fans. He has acknowledged himself he’s only ever one bad result away from a mutinous atmosphere. And like I said this is more about Wenger giving himself room to walk away before the end of a contract. Unless he finishes outside the top six, yeah of course stupidly the job is his as long as he wants it.
But at 68, even with nothing else going on in his life he probably does ask himself how worthwhile it is.

He could equally ask himself what he is without Arsenal. Only bastards who want to con their fanbase will be queueing to sign him if he leaves. And he'd never get the power he has here. He's either managing Arsenal or out of management.

Here he comes running, like Roy Keane to a referee who has just booked one of his players.

NQ's post breaks down what I was trying to say yesterday before you lost your rag and told me to 'fuck off'. Yet you call for sensible debate? Off the back of that response, we could have gone back and forth with more personal insults which would have resulted in ban if taken too far. Well, that's what used to happen on GW when we had more posters.

What do you mean he's "come running"? He hasn't been in the thread all day.

He's not very fast at running
Or...maybe he was a long way away.

I responded at length to the post you just d
Have a look at that

And probably what tipped the scales in him staying. But someone who goes on constantly about how committed they are generally sounds like the kind of person trying to convince himself.

He is very selfish and has put his own fear of walking away from football management above what’s best for the club undoubtedly. What I’m saying is his resolve to stay maybe isn’t as strong as he’s saying.

Whether he will just walk away is a million dollar question, the remarks on his contract for me are his own way of saying I will see how this season goes before deciding whether I want to continue for another.

Actually, it pretty much never happened. More often someone would be banned from a thread or possibly suspended briefly.
Permanent bans were very rare. It was damned near impossible to get banned from this place even back in the day.

Well I hope you are right.

Which leads us to the next great depression. Who else will they get to nod and play ball?

It's a bit hopeless at this club really.

He's not as fast as you when it comes to making excuses for Wenger, that's for sure.
