Been reading a few people's take on Mr wenger so I thought I'd have my say on him.

After last season when we won the FA Cup and he signed the contract I had mixed views, if he didn't sign it then at least he left on a high. Upon him signing it I was excited to see how he faired in the transfer window, let's be fair he spent far more than most of us thought, bought alexis which I think is the signing of the season(totally not biased lol) I think chambers is a good player, just needs to be a little more intelligent with his decision making but that comes over time. Welbeck I thought was a really good signing, debuchy was the perfect replacement for sagna and for spins there hasn't been enough playing time from him to suggest his worth as such.

Now I'm slowly creeping towards the Wenger out brigade, what the fans did at the weekend was totally disgraceful as many of you have agreed with, he doesn't deserve that, he's made mistakes but proves he's human.

Now when the day comes (whether that be the end of the season or 2 years time) that he steps down or gets sacked, who will replace him? Arsenal Football Club has ALWAYS been noted for its Class, it's History and let's face it Arsene has a fair few pages in our history book let alone the EPL, would we want someone like Mourinho to come in an ruin that? Yes he may get us trophies but if that's all some fans care about then our club would attract football fans that only care about glory e.g many United fans I knew that only supported them because they won things, didn't care about the club.

Mourinho was booed out of Real Madrid, the reason being that he turned the most successful club into dirty tacklers, win at all costs even if it means deliberately kicking a player to stop him (Mr Ramos comes to mind) and the fans hated that, this wasn't Real Madrid playing they way they do, look at them now. That's not to say that EVERY manager will be like that but when a new manager comes along I would want that manager to play with the same flair that we are famed for just with a couple of modern tweaks.

For those fans that disgraced our club you are dragging the club down far more than Wenger is, if you get your wish and he leaves then the next manager to come along does worse than wenger, that day you will wish that man would come back, the best example of that my fellow supporters is Manchester United.

Right now our club needs support, if you can support Wenger support the players, it's not always their fault in the same way it's not always Wengers fault but support Arsenal Football Club, for what the club stands for and what it has achieved.

Not a good post, great post. Its embarrassing when fans act like that. Worst thing about it, its mostly Arsenal fans that end up fighting with each other. Ridiculous.
