It's true. We were called north London reds before he came to be our manager
Herbert Chapman he ain't. It might be a lost in translation moment but I doubt it with this man.
He is correct in a way. The Emirates stadium and CL football wouldn't have happened without Wenger success. Look at Spurs one season in CL only. Wenger probably put Arsenal about 15 years ahead of Spurs due to his success financially.
It's not a quote that surprises me in the slightest. His overbearing ego is very evident, if not as vulgarly expressed as Maureen's. Except even Maureen has a black-or-white definition of success which makes it easy to concede his failures while our failure specialist is a SPECIALIST in blurring the lines between failure and success with a huge grey spectrum. Just about gives you an insight into the self-absorbed conceit of the megalomaniac. The Mugabe or Castro of managers. An egotistical man who has somehow convinced himself about his own indispensability and assumes his image and the club's as one and the same. We truly are cursed to have to persist with this guy all because of his respectable accomplishments over a decade ago.

He built the business,the Arsenal FC was here before he came and will be here when he's gone.
Arsenal forever,and ever,as a business never.
Wenger despite lack of trophies actually did well in the period after we moved to Emirates. No money to spend, but still always got top 4 and built some very good sides from almost nothing, and got us playing great football. Not many managers could have achieved that. But it's the serious lack of progression since we've had money that's worrying. Big lack of ambition and stubbornness from Wenger and the board
Before Arsene Wenger came to your club you were an average club like West Ham, Spurs. You were not a big european club and you still are not. He made you domestically strong because before 1996 you played boring football and had some very rubbish players like Smith, Merson and some other drunken english players.
You will regret the day he will be gone. There is no better manager than him who fits your club Take for example Man United and Fergy after he was gone.

Christ the guy has done more for your club than pretty much anybody else who's ever lived and you compare him to Mugabe
Forgot to add. It was very Important we got top 4 in those years. We did need the money for the future of the club. But we were always promised we'd see huge increase in ambition. But that's not happened.
Also we don't even play good football really. The last bastion of Wenger at Arsenal seems to be eroding. And the players just always seem to be going through the motions, rather than being properly inspired and motivated to fight to the end for big titles

How did you come to that conclusion? a couple years before that we won the FA cup, league cup and a European trophy. A couple of years before that we won the league twice in three years as a Liverpool fan you must remember Anfield 89
Arsene is 71% arsenal, so he does have a point!
Wenger has been undoubtedly a fantastic manager for us, and will always have my respect. But he has to go at some point either way! He can't go on forever even if he was winning lots. So this be careful what you wish for is a bit redundant, because we have like 3 years of him left anyway. He's 66! He's not got long left as a manager. If he was doing good or bad now, in the near future we'd still need to face life after Wenger. He's not exactly 42 and got another 20+ years left!

----------------------------------------------------
That's a load of nonsense. We had won 2 league titles under Graham within 7 years of Wenger's arrival, including on your own patch in '89. Spurs hadn't won the title since '61 and West Ham hadn't won it EVER. Comparing us to them because we had a rough patch in the mid 90's before Wenger is a bit silly. We have been a huge club since the days of Chapman in the 30's and always had massive potential as London's biggest, most successful club. Wenger didn't turn Wigan to world beaters. He turned around an underperforming club in the 90's but we don't have to owe him forever for that irrespective of his glaring incompetence.

They have massive differences but they share the common trait of being conceited megalomaniacs with inflated opinions of themselves who think they are indispensable to humanity and people should worship at their majestic feet forever more. One just happens to occupy a more destructive position.
Ignore the scouse WUMs, they're taking the mick.
In Wenger I trust and always will. Thank you Arsene for everything you have given to Arsenal FC.Thank you for the memories they have been great, and here's to the future.
Arsenal fans wanted Wenger out should be careful what they wish for. Can see Arsenal having a few seasons like we have had when he retires

Except the current Arsenal squad is stocked to compete for the league and the FA Cup, and will not look like a pensioners home for footballers, unlike United. A top striker and a decent CM would take this Arsenal team to the next level, assuing Ozil and Sanchez don't bolt.

You don't have a clue, I'm afraid mate. Before Wenger we were the third most successful club in England, had won 10 league titles, 2 of which had come just 7 and 5 years prior to Wenger's arrival. We were two years removed from a European trophy, were one of only four clubs to have completed a domestic double, were the 2nd richest club in the country, had the longest unbroken run of top flight football in the land and had just come off a spell that saw 6 major trophies collected in 8 years.
Next time you want to even attempt talking Wenger up by knocking down the club he's contributed to, not built, at least attempt to find half a clue, you might just then stumble onto some kind of credibility. Pathetic.

sheriff the idiot strikes again
Always gotta be about Africa hasn't it?
Most opposition fans know we will most likely struggle post wenger because arsenal fans are generally the least intelligent fans in England. Easily influenced by media pundits and bandwagons. Not only the worst fans but also the stupidest. It's embarrassing
So what if we struggle for a season or so. We are desperately in need of fresh ideas and someone who will invest in the squad and make the relevant signings.
look at Dortmund under new management. Even Chelsea with all their changes have managed to be consistently successful
