I've had a lot of gooners crowing over their 3 bad decisions. Girouds offside goal, yes fair enough he wasn't offside. Bentners right foot was offside for his goal and it was never a pen against Zaba. You let in 6 goals and never ever looked like winning so shut the fuck up you wallies !

SUPER BLUES !

P.s. We had 44 fucking years of Salford Utd winning everything so am I going to wallow in their decline and our uprising - you bloody bet I am !!!!!!!!!!!

"You rightly point out that Arsenal have spent so much less than Chelsea, Man U and City, but as a result they are won nothing"

That may well be a factor. However it is a completely different issue from the point that Argie is making.

Chelsea and Man City are the playthings of billionaires who have put in approximately half a billion into their clubs in net transfers alone . If their owners lost interest with the clubs, both clubs would sink like a stone. Arsenal has had to fund the building of a brand new stadium, the Emirates.

The genius of Wenger is that in the 10 years up to 2011-12 season he still has a better trophy record than Man City, for example, and is currently top of the League even though City have spent 10 times as much.

The vast majority of Premier League chairmen would give their right arms to have a manager like Wenger.

That's because the money was never there for Wenger to spend, despite newspaper stories to the contrary ? until this season.

Gazidis and Wenger have run Arsenal like Clinton ran the White House - debt free. The money that came in for Nasri, RVP, Clichy, Toure, etc could have been spent on a marquee signing but instead was reinvested in paying off the stadium thus building for the future. Old Trafford and Man Utd are mortgaged up to the hilt.

Having paid down the debt, Wenger had the money to spend and has begun spending.

As David Johnson says "the vast majority of Premier League chairmen would give their right arms to have a manager like Wenger" ? especially, it would appear at the moment, Daniel Levy.

"Also, I wish I knew what Wenger sees in Giroud."

They speak the same language. Giroud isn't good enough. Giroud to replace Van 'traitor' Persie. You're avin a laugh.

"Wenger has only got Arsenal into the Champions League for the 15th season in succession, won a couple of league and cup doubles, been manager of the first team to go through an entire season in the league for 115 years without being defeated etc. etc. Although Arsenal haven't won any trophies for awhile, the vast majority of clubs would kill to have a Champions League qualification record like Arsenal.

And in the last 5 years for example, Arsenal have spent 60 million less than Man Utd, nearly 400 million less than Chelsea and 60 million less than Man Utd on transfers. Only Everton and Newcastle have spent less on net transfers than Arsenal in the League.

When is this Frog going to show some decency, accept his failure and resign!!!!"

I agree that with the money Wenger has spent or been allowed to spend during his tenure he's done an excellent job of keeping Arsenal in the top four.

Just wish he wouldn't talk up the team until they'd won a trophy.

Even Bendtner is better than Giroud.
This is what I don't get about Wenger. The best finisher at the club is Podolski...and he plays him on the left!

Steady on. It's all a matter of opinion.

"The best finisher at the club is Podolski"

If you're suffering how do you think Tottenham fans feel. They must want to hang themselves.

"If wenger puts his hand in his pocket in the january transfer window"

Not his pocket. It's the board's pocket he has to put his hand in.

Really?
What makes you think Walcott is a better finisher than Podolski?
