I have to say, I find some of the slobbering over Wenger to be over the top and

No. He had to say it.

He actually started that with 'I have to say...'

Maybe he's right? Maybe he does have some sort of psychological compulsion to say things like that? Perhaps he deserves our sympathy?

Or he might just be a truculent gob****e?

He's like an over-excited puppy. One of those ones with massive paws and no self-control or co-ordination, blundering into things and scattering finer feelings, good taste and decency to the four corners of the room, where he will later chew them up before shítting himself in the night and having his nose rubbed in it in the morning.

The puppy in question is a bit retarded, of course.

My god that's a pathetic post. As obtuse and irrelevant as it is self-indulgent. You really have lost it.

Yes mate, I've lost it entirely.

Have a nice weekend.

highly hypocritical.

And don't know anyone - and I mean anyone - who would argue that he wasn't brilliant from 1996-2005. Arguably the best manager in the world at that time. He then embarked on a required, and personally desired, youth project that was both very challenging and yet at the same time appealed to Wenger and the overwhelming majority of the support. It was a project that he deserved given the level of his performance over the previous 9 years.

Sadly, this went wrong and we never achieved what we hoped we would. Circumstance played a part but you can hardly ignore that many of the player decisions he made during that time were simply incorrect. By 2010 it was clear that it had failed and that we needed a new approach. At that point we saw the first real sign of fallibility.

Over the next 7-8 years his performance as manager and the performance of the club degraded slightly but consistently each year until we have reached 6th place, 30 some point behind the leaders and over 10 points behind our hated rivals who have far less money than we do.

Why can we not acknowledge all that without feeling the need to criticize either ourselves or the manager?

Project Youth only failed because Arsene had a mis-guided belief that players may show similar values to him when it comes to loyalty.

Sadly they did not and, in the most part, saw their careers fall to pieces as a result.
