Arsenal look terrible. Even when they had no backbone they were good to watch. They look woeful

Whilst agreeing with the middle sentence I can't believe a Manure fan is saying the first n third.

I don't understand why I can't offer my opinion as a United fan. Arsenal usually look good even when they lose. Now they're looking terrible. Not signing a world class striker and defender has hurt them once again

I've kept quiet over the last few weeks, but enough is surely enough?

If he was a 50 year old making these sorts of mistakes, you could say it's a phase, but the whole thing is beyond a joke.

Its like watching a man grow old who can't admit the world around him is changing, and because he has had success many....many years before, still knows best, despite it being glaringly obvious to almost everyone else, he doesn't.

He is 66 for goodness sake.

I know that doesn't automatically consign him to the scrap heap, but in this case it signals a time to be moved away, and given, at best, some form of consultancy role.

I am sick and tired of hearing the old "who would you replace him with" crap, because now there are many people with better past 10 year CVs than Mr W in the game.

He is slowly destroying his own legacy.

I quite agree Adz.  Since his comments about judging him at the end of the season a few weeks ago our results have got worse. 

It's time.

I am not defending Wenger, but isn't this just a bunch of nothing.  It is fairly normal to not do much the day after a game?  That was my impression anyway and I assume you need to get a lot of rest if you have a heavy schedule.  Then he criticises Wenger for not slagging off his keeper, but instead quietly dropping him.  Surely that is a better way?  Just looks like a bunch of nitpicking thrown together to me.

Arsenal have clearly messed up the title chase this year, but that doesn't make this article any better.

Agreed it's a load of nothing really. Training won't be very intense anywhere this time of the season.

As stated when he was signed I could never have Gabriel as a defender and I can't have him as a better bet than per. The absence of per also seems to have rattled koscienly a tad.

If Wenger had managed Spurs since pre-season and Poch had managed Arsenal, where do you think the two teams would be in the league now?

Mourinho, Simeone, Rodgers, Moyes, Ian Wright?

Not trying to wind anyone up, genuine question, who do you want as your next manager? The top managers seem settled apart from Jose who wants Man U.

just as a football fan watching, i would love to see what a real badass like Simeone could do with Arsenal. So astute tactically and would jolt a few there out of their comfort zone.

not sure they'd get him at the moment though!

It's all pointless conjecture since AW has a contract until the end of next season.

He will do all that he is able to turn things around until then.

I have been saying him for the last 3 years. We are in a new era, and no one expects their manager to last more than 5 years max these days. in which case lets get a badass in and give it a go.

Wenger has done very very nicely out of us, and if we haven't got the heart or foresight to get rid at the end of the season then he should step down, if he is the gent the fan club seem to think is....

Rough estimate of AW's personal wealth?  £100m?  £200m?  He must have absolutely milked Arsenal dry if he had a good agent with bonuses based on financial performance of the club over the past 15 years.

Do you think Simeone speaking little to no English would make it extremely difficult for him to come over here?

I guess it's one of those things that can be taught and would work over time - it's just whether he would want to go through that
