Wengers seems to be blaming the fans for the poor home results now:

There are more protests about his management planned for today in the 12th, 78th and 90th (or full time) minutes. It will be interesting to see how many fans back the protests. If it's the majority then the writings probably on the wall for him.

Are they going to keep leaving the stadium and then returning?!

I think they are just holding up posters asking him to go. Pretty awful really considering everything that he's done for them. I'm starting to think that he really will leave at the end of this season and that they'll regret it by the end of next season.

These protests are hilarious. I hate him with a passion, but his record, style of football, financial stewardship are almost second to none. They have a global fan base, and it's all thanks to him.

Self entitled pricks. Third and they kick off. Two fa cups in the past two seasons.

Perfect storm, hope they keep fighting each other and self combust.

Usmanov is behind some of this imo, and Wenger all but names him.
However, the fans have built up £150+m in the bank, and it will probably be used to buy out either Usmanov or Krankie (!), rather than on players, so I understand why they are so angry.
Arsenal do not need to be rummaging around looking for bargains any more. They could offer Leicester or even us amounts that we just could not turn down.

I've mentioned this before in this thread but I think the fans have a right to protest, they pay the highest season ticket prices in the country and there is clearly no progression, ID be pretty pissed off if were a fan.

Of course anyone and everyone has a right.

So two fa cups and then third isn't progress after winning fck all for what was it eight years? Don't follow them or you on that. They're just sulking because they thought they had it in the bag.

As for where their money has gone, well I'd be very interested to see ticket price pound for point or goal or trophy comparisons over the past five or ten years. Think our fans have remarkable tolerance when you look at the bigger picture.

Then again we haven't attracted that many spotty skip rats in recent times who think their rivals are Barca or Bayern. Although it's their older lot that they provide the real,comedy value.

Then they should protest about the season ticket prices, not a manager that has transformed the club and delivered two cups in three seasons, and got them into the champions league every year. That's not to day he isn't without his faults, but seriously how much do they think they should win.

Let's face it, half these protests are because we're better than them at the moment and they can't take it.

why do they need to keep buying marquee players? It's not a magic formula. Just look at how much the top two have spent?

As for buying our best players, your assertion is just bollox.

 

[TH1239]

I think the anger stems largely from their lack of transfer spending. They were told for years they had to deal with austerity and selling off players like Nasri, Van Persie, Sagna, Adebayor, Fabregas, Clichy, etc to help pay down the stadium, and once they had 200+ million pounds in cash reserves, they went out and bought zero outfield players. Imagine if Levy sold off Kane, Eriksen, Alli and Lloris in the coming years under the guise of building a debt free stadium and then come 2020 through 2022, only marginally increased expenditures and took out several million pounds in a self-payment on top of that. People would be rightly livid.

Had we won the title, I think Wenger would've been forced out. Now, his position is still in question, as finishing 5th would make him staying pretty untenable. It's all good news for Spurs, though.

 

[Legacy]

Haven't they spent nearly £250m on transfer fees in the last five years? I'd hardly call that a lack of spending, especially when you factor in the kind of wages those players are on.

 

[Drink!Drink!]

Haha somehow appropriate that their printed protest sheets use American not British English

"Arsenal is..."

 

[Colonel_Klinck]

Well that was a pretty lame protest. Sounded like the vast majority of the stadium were singing "there's only one Arsene Wenger".

we can but hope.

Walcott is on £140,000 a week.

Two points behind us...gulp.
