[–]Aamir786 29ポイント30ポイント  (2子コメント)

Sorry Arsene but we have money now too. You chose to gamble with Wilshere staying fit and Ox stepping up with more goals to help Giroud and Sanchez and Walcott fire us to the title.... We didn't sign a single outfield player, we struggled with injuries and now our title challenge is on the brink again.

There's still a long way to go, but we've won just 3 of the last 10 in all completions. There is no room for error now. But we finally have a good team with good chemistry who HAVE shown some mental toughness. They are much better than the dross we had from 2008-2012. The fact that he can't get this team to win is just ridiculous, especially with our rivals under performing. I've always backed Arsene in even his worst moments, but I do believe he should be sacked if we don't win the title this season.

[–]shoobiedoobie 8ポイント9ポイント  (0子コメント)

Some of these comments make sense and there should definitely be a fair bit of criticism for Wenger making excuses once again. However, your comment is utterly BULLSHIT. Our midfield has been woeful for over a decade? How long have you even watched Arsenal? For you to say something like that is ridiculous.

[–]iGunn 109ポイント110ポイント  (3子コメント)

IS HE STILL GOING ON ABOUT THE MONEY SPENT ARGUMENT?!

[–]AbsoluteRubbish 58ポイント59ポイント  (2子コメント)

Only Arsene could consistently say you don't need to spend a ton to have a solid midfield and simultaneously argue that another teams midfield is better because they spent more.

If you acknowledge that spending money would give us a winning midfield, then spend money.

If you actually believe that we can build a top tier midfield without money than quit using it as an excuse.

Oh god that is just pathetic. If there was ever a sign that he is just straight up out of ideas, this is it.

Leicester and Spurs running away with the league but it will continue to come back to 'we just don't have the money' for Wenger.

[–]nlired 34ポイント35ポイント  (2子コメント)

I just feel like giving everyone in here a big hug and a pint, think about all the shite we've had to watch over the years?

The Denilsons, the Chamacks, Bendtner, Silvestre... Now we actually have a strong and healthy squad and we still cant beat THIS UNITED?

This one is really on Wenger, i'm done. I've always stood behind him, supporting him with claims of we are always dealing with injuries, or that we cant compete with the big money.

The excuses are finally gone now, and its somewhat a relief. Wenger, as much as it pains me, needs to go.

    I never really believed it, but I'm a convert, they don't care whether they win anything at all, that top 4 is the only important thing and wenger is as much to blame as the board.

    "Let's keep this club ticking over" seems to be their motto.

        I'd say he lost it long ago... remember when he said something along the lines of "we've only really been beaten once this season" after having lost 5-1 to Liverpool, 6-0 to Chelsea, 6-3 to City, etc.

        It's not Man Utd's or anyone's fault that Wenger thought he could go from 3rd to champion with one signing. He has the resources to spend if he wants and controls all the ins and goings at this club so he's the last person who can use this excuse.

        Is Wenger suicidal or something? Even if he believes this, he shouldn't say it out in public immediately after that game. He's usually very good with the media, but this is a very bad thing to say.

          How is stating facts the reason that we lost? Sure their midfield was experienced and yes they've spent a lot of money, but they also had an 18 year old forward and a defence that we would've been happy with back in the days of Squillaci.

          I honestly don't get his point, it's like he picks excuses out of a hat nowadays and doesn't give a shit if it makes sense.

            What a dreadful comment. He is obsessed by 'resources'. Yes, United have spent a lot of money. We have spent some money as well and could have spent quite a bit more. This game was nothing to do with money spent and all about a patched up United making us look like cunts.

            Is this a fucking joke? Herrera is experienced? All he had was a short time at Bilbao and has never been capped for Spain at 26 years old. They played 2 midfielders at CB and a CB at LB and a guy nobody has heard about until a few days ago scored a brace against us. If he gives any reason besides shit defending, then he is all excuses. Money spent isn't exactly an argument when 1st and 2nd are Leicester and Spurs and you could have spent money too but you had faith in your squad.

            Wenger thinks "spending a lot of money" is immoral but has no problems with ticket prices and picking up his 8m a year.

            Wenger needs to look at himself and decide whether he can still contribute to Arsenal as a manager that is actually capable of lifting the Premier League crown or maybe pass the mantle to someone else with a different way of doing things and himself move onto other roles within the club.

            [–]Dark_ZizouOmnia Quaerite.. 43ポイント44ポイント  (10子コメント)

            Under Fergie, a United side including Antonio Valencia, Ashley Young, Tom Cleverley, Anderson, Nani and Jonny Evans mauled an Arsenal side with kids (also worth noting that we had senior players in Van Persie, Walcott, Arshavin, Rosicky, Ramsey, Koscielny and Djourou playing) 8-2.

            Under Wenger, an Arsenal side on paper containing Ozil, Cech, Sanchez, Monreal, Koscielny, etc gets beaten 3-2 by a United side stuffed with kids and missing their 2 best forwards in Martial and Rooney.

            That’s the difference between a world class manager and an utter fraud.

            tbf young and valencia were mauling most cl fullbacks

            evans and rio were easily the best cb pairing in the league that season. evans has been outperforming kos, per and gabs most of this season.

            ando and clevs were both really good before their injuries. teenage ando was starting cl finals and benching scholes. he got fat later but he was a phenomenal talent.

            this is so revisionist. that team was far greater than the sum of its parts because of ferguson's influence and tactics, not because it was a team of dynamos. arsenal's current squad is more talented by a mile.

            You could say the same about Leicester.

            A player is only as useful as his usefulness to the system.

            You can have the best touch in the world like Mata but if you're painfully slow you could end up being a massive liability on the wing.

            I think the United 2012/13 squad was a much better fit for SAF and his tactics/mentality than this Arsenal team.

              we still cant do it.... ahahah we still cant fucking do it! A man united team worse than the moyes one! with half their team injured and us one player away from full strength .. we still cant do it.. Im just bored of losing at old trafford now. P.S walcott the reason we played you today was because we thought you were quicker than blind and carrick.. aperently not.

              I respect the man, but their first eleven today was basically Juan Mata + their U-21 squad at the beginning of the season.

              No point in excuse making at the moment, we lost and it's time to move on. With or without Wenger.

              Regardless of the content of what he is saying, and I usually agree with Arsene, the thing that upsets me most is the excuses.

              At some point we need to stand up and realise what we are fighting for. Today felt like we had no particular plan and worse than that, like we had no real fire.

              I truly hope between now and next weeks NLD Arsene works out how to fire this team up. Because the title is still in our grasp if we could just turn up.

              I love Wenger. I really, really do. But saying this is just infuriating. He even had the fucking audacity to say we showed good desire and commitment. Is he completely delusional or just out of excuses?

              Big time Arsene supporter, but that's an indefensible statement.

              It's not an excuse in anyway, but United played a 2nd string sort of youth squad yet it still cost more than ours.

              Everyone makes arguments out of frustration, maybe just ignore it. He is clearly down after that loss.

              I don't get why some people think that these comments are Wenger excusing the loss or more importantly that they're the crux of his analysis on the match. They were in response to a question of wether or not it was fair to say that Arsenal had lost to youngsters today and if this was an opportunity missed. The question is obviously loaded, which is normal enough in football interviews, but you're all jumping on Wenger for not agreeing with the question's click baity premise. Because while there were youngsters who played important parts today, the spine of that team was herrera, mata, schneiderlin, carrick, rojo and de gea, who aren't tweens and who all cost lots of money. So not a very controversial answer.

              i don't even need to read the posts here, I can already tell it's a bunch of delusional Americans that can't see past a quote for the context. He's referencing the media pretending we got beat by a Sunday league team. It was a largely inexperienced team, but it wasn't a giant-killing.
