eye on the Wenger's job?
There was something a little disingenuous about his outrage at my mate's banner that was held up. I personally thought "Fvck off Wenger you Cleuso sounding old tit" was reasonably balanced suggestion :shrug:
I think Gaz is smart enough to know that Wenger will have a big say in who his successor will be - in about ten years of course.
Oh God, not another muggy banner :-(Quote:

Man, don't they get exhausted from being so angry?
And there's no point claiming it was ever thus. When I started going to football there was anger, aggression and violence a-plenty, all directed at the opposition. Amongst our own there was a great deal of dry humour and not a little resignation. (Also plenty of racism tbh.)

Anyone got any idea what the banner said?/
I'd say it depends on how you define 'middle class'. I know of plenty of season ticket holders who easily afford their £1,000 a year football habit, but cab drivers and their spawn are NOT middle class, nor will they be for 3 or 4 generations of decent education.Quote:

There's that bloke who everyone laughs about on Arsenal fan tv, wossisname, Claude. He's so angry he tried to off himself, didn't he?Quote:

A lot of them were raised with a silver spoon in their mouth from a football perspective. They expect to win the league. I suspect we have a slightly more educated fan base than some clubs. Not that general intelligence translates to understanding football.Quote:

Perhaps the lack of racism is the problem? Now that it's no longer socially acceptable to direct their impotent rage at the coloureds or the jews or what have you, these people are forced to find a new target - and it happens to be our own team and manager?Quote:

By golly I think you've cracked it! We simply need to convince everyone to gather around a new hate figure to take the heat off Arsene.Quote:

No. I think they probably mostly like him. Maybe Piers Morgan? Everyone thinks he's a cünt - even people who agree with him.Quote:

Neville seems confused, to me. Wearing his celebrity-footballer hat obviously he understands that it's not nice to have groups of fans violently bantering you off, threatening the new paintwork on your car and so on. As a pundit though, he really wants Wenger Out! just so they all have something new, different to talk about.Quote:

Thing is, he talks so much that he's bound to contradict himself. Alot.
I am convinced he will succeed as a manager or could be but I fear the punditry sofa may prove far too comfortable and well paid for him to consider leaving it. Why subject yourself to being c*nted off by 60,000 muggy boneheads every week with the additional delight of the media continually triggering rumours about your imminent dismissal?Quote:

Just like Ryan Giggs would've obviously jumped at the chance to manage Manchester United. But Swansea City? Not so much.
