1) Keeping Almunia as first choice for as long as he did.

2) refusing to admit he is wrong

Why the looter FartFace keep constantly posting on the Arsenal board? Looks like this scc/umbag abandoned by his own fans

Wenger's biggest mistake is staying on as manager.

Oh the irony. Now shut your filthy mouth you lowlife toilet cleaning piece of trash, unless you want me to smash your yellow teeth across the pavement and squash your infertile mincey bollox to tomato purée with a sledge hammer.

You can't even stand on your own feet let alone smashing me into pieces.

Why don't you see me once then you won't see this world again

The biggest mistakes for me are:

The socialist wage structure which held us back in the times we were short of funds. This meant we struggled to shift our dross while we couldn't keep hold of our best players (couldn't afford to stump up their market value wage).

Not making signings. The money is there now and has been for the last few years. Yes he'd be at risk of signing a few duds but to believe there's no one out there who we could bring in that significantly improves some of our dross first-teamers is frankly, a disgrace.


I don't blame him for tactical ineptness, mistakes in big games or struggling to motivate his players as I believe this simply isn't something he can help. Basically he's not choosing those things but he did directly fail/inforce my points above.

already offered to meet Maf for a fight and he done a terd in his pants. Probably couldn't get a shift off from his toilet cleaning job. 4everarsenal is a not upset about the bottle job going on at his club, looking across North London with envy.

You only fight if you have five to one advantage yes Spurs are the better team but I don't feel any envy

Basically being too stubborn, resting on his laurels and standing still rather than progressing.

Probably deep down he has lost the real desire to win. Which has meant this has rubbed off on all his squads. It's a natural thing, he's got older and and has probably lost his real desire and determination to be the best. Will happen to everyone. While also being stubborn that his way is best. Again, a thing that often happens with age.

I just think he's done at the top level now. It's nothing really to be ashamed of. It was always going to happen, I just hoped he could leave in a more dignified manner, and not being hounded out.

Other posters have covered the big ones pretty well

Few others for me :

Not going back in for Suarez after our £40m +1 got rejected. Rodgers said at the time that they thought he should go for "Cavani money", who had just gone for £52m , and that has always led me to believed had we gone around that mark, Liverpool probably would have sold him to us.

Selling RvP to United was another one. Such a stupid decision, and summed up perfectly how the club felt about football matters. Have to bear in mind it wasn't a time when we really needed the money either, I'm absolutely convinced had we kept him we would have walked the league that season

I'm not sure how much more Wenger could have done re Suarez. I mean technically his/Arsenal's first bid would have legally triggered the release clause, surely after that the manager isn't involved in the legal process - I blame others more than Wenger for that.

Also with RVP I agree and disagree, letting him go was painful (particularly to United) but he's got a big ego and if the rift with him and the club were too big to repair then fair enough sell him for a decent figure.

What really facking annoyed me was not replacing him with anything like equal. In fact we've been served nothing but dross up front since RVP left.

"I'm not sure how much more Wenger could have done re Suarez. "

If they didn't think going to court was realistic, then paid what Liverpool wanted, imo. Would have been worth it.

With RvP, I think clubs, players and fans relationships are repaired quite easily. Rooney has done a lot of shiiit yet United still love him, Suarez basically asked to go to Arsenal and Liverpool fans still love him and so on.

Never had an issue with RvP's attitude. Born winner unlike most of our current lot who just go hiding when things are going wrong

You can see what a difference a top class striker can do. Take Kane for example can you see Giroud scoring the kind of goals out of nothing he has been doing?

Just 3 examples - Arsenal, Liverpool and Stoke goals were all amazing and came from absoutely nothing.

Giroud did do something similar against Pool but lets call that a once a season goal for him.

Wenger and his team have got incredibly lazy. All the energy has gone out of the man and the same goes for his team. He stays glued to his seat during games , not actually trying to influence the game. The team just stroll around as if it were a training session.

The players need a new manager to remotivate them and get them going again.

There is lots of potential which is going to waste and it's all down to Wenger. He hasn't changed his methods for 20 years and like a three day old fish he's stinking the place out.

Think RVP basically said show me some ambition and i will stay. If Wenger and Co said you know what Robin we are signing 2 WC players in the summer i reckon he would have stayed.

Not quitting at the top

These AW 'mistakes' pale in comparison to HC, the daft northern tweed suit incompetent dog. He failed to win the title 5 times in the 1930s, he failed to sign Steven James when we could've got him for £5. Damaging my self-esteem.

When Wenger arrived he was the only PL manager who had excellent knowledge of foreign players. That is why he was successful with buying the right players. Later on other clubs brought their own foreign coaches and players. Simply Wenger buying the wrong players due to money limitations and other clubs getting his first targets was the main cause for his failures. That's why he keeps telling us he could have bought Ibra, Ronaldo, and other top players. Not entirely his mistake but over the last couple of seasons he has had no excuses. Most of his recent big signings were not good enough.

The year was 1968. We were on recon in a steaming Mekong delta. An overheated private removed his flack jacket, revealing a T-shirt with an ironed-on sporting the MAD slogan "Up with Mini-skirts!". Well, we all had a good laugh, even though I didn't quite understand it. But our momentary lapse of concentration allowed "Charlie" to get the drop on us. I spent the next three years in a POW camp, forced to subsist on a thin stew made of fish, vegetables, prawns, coconut milk, and four kinds of rice. I came close to madness trying to find it here in the States, but they just can't get the spices right.

I haven't seen anyone mention tactics, or lack of, yet. I deliberately left that off. Its one of Wengers biggest weaknesses to have plan A and that's it. I think it is a regular mistake to play the same tactics every game, particularly against Maureens Chavez

Needing a 'plan B' means admitting your 'plan A' didn't work/isn't working.

My original point covers this.
