Robin your statement is so unnecessary now. Thought fans would have moved on by now

Wenger stuck his head in the sand and denied Fabregas and Nasri were leaving right up until the day they both left. He has done nothing about our aerial weakness which has cost us goal after goal for the past 6 years, it even cost us a goal as recently as Saturday, and he has done nothing about bringing in a quality striker to take the weight off van Persie. Chamakh has proved a disaster even allowing for the fact that he was free he still cost too much. This is the scenario going into the transfer window, Wenger had only bought Gervinho who isn’t by any means a top player. We needed players before Fabregas and Nari left after they both jumped ship as fast as they could Wenger still did nothing. When you make deadline day signings and you are so desperate that you don’t even bother with medicals it tells me Wenger had no intention of signing anyone until the BofD twisted his arm. As for Steve Rowley that was reported in the press, appeared on a number of Arsenal websites and was even reported on here by a relative of the man himself. When you have no plan for replacing quality players that you know are leaving it’s bad management, nothing else.

I’ve long ago lost my respect for the gang of three, the triangle of doom that are kronke, gazidas and hillwood. Listening to them bleat on and on about how well they are running the club makes me sick to the stomach. A well run club does not has it’s best players leaving in droves year after year. It won’t has the 1st team performance getting progressively worse with each passing year. Conceding all those late goals was frustrating, conceding 4 2nd half goals at Newcastle was a hard pill to swallow but getting thrashed 8-2 was unforgivable. A well run club my foot. As for Wenger, the king of spin, by his own admission he accepts full responsibility for our self sustaining model. Does it means he was given funds but refused to buy? If it does he should be hung out to dry. He’s now even pleading with us to trust him. Really? I take it that he will now work on the defence to prevent more goals from set pieces? Or that he will finally drop Walcott after 5 useless years on the wings. Or he will strengthen in areas that need strengthening? Trust has got to be earn Mr Wenger.

Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaah Wenger gets a rousing reception.
Gets to feed us more garbage about our inability to compete with the big resources teams (whilst failing to mention he earns more than all their managers, and failing to mention he has continued to spend a net of sod all in the market and botched the Mata transfer).

He gets to tell us ‘we need to be united’ but will be the first to dismiss fans on television when pressured.

I cannot believe the lack of pressure this man is under. This is like a sick twisted joke now. EVERY YEAR Wenger pulls the wool over fans’ eyes, and they swallow it, ask nothing (not all, but many) and just carry on.

The latest charade is that it’s all the board’s fault apparently Rolling Eyes
Yep. They put Almunia in goal for 4 years, they gave Diaby his contract extension, they refuse to appoint a defensive coach, they spent £14 mil on Oxpot-Chambermaid, they blew their load on Arteta etc, they lost the CC final to Brum pfffft….

Wenger shoulda been heckled. He HAS to be made to know that the fans – the proper ones – are disgusted by his performance, his arrogance and his shocking inaction over the summer transfer window and that the fans will no longer stand for it.

At least, I’m pretty sure this is how it would work at a big club.

At AWFC?

He gets a fucking OVATION! Shocked

What a load of horse shit. Same old crap year after year. When will someone be held accountable?

PHW is a complete fucking waste of space. If he had a decent bone in his body he’d step down after it was made perfectly clear that nobody wants him at the club anymore.

Stan’s “speech” was of someone who actually doesn’t give a toss about the football club, but only cares about his investment.

Wenger said trust the team and they’re a good team and blah blah blah same thing we’ve heard for the last four years.

There are mixed reports about Van Persie – apparently no-one said he is signing a contract but Arsene said he wanted to keep VP!

The only heartening aspect of the AGM farce is that AW received an ovation (deserved) and Hill-Wood was heckled (even more deserved). Mr K’s promise to ‘stay around’ is as empty as his claim to be a fan. He is a businessman plain and simple; with gates dwindling, with qualification for CL (if we are honest) unlikely and with sole ownership blocked by Usmanov, it is hard to see how he can he can ever cover the interest on the money he has borrowed, let alone make a profit. Hopefully, the next (and last) time we sse him will be Jan, welcoming Mr U as the new owner.

I agree, not too sure what was gained from the meeting. Seemed like a lot of discontent.

Interesting news about Van Persie though, let’s hope we can sign him up quick quick.
