140, and still as sprightly & lovable as the day he he arrived at AFC in the late 1800's.

What to buy the man who has everything - £8.5m a year, a job for life where you get to choose your boss and eventual successor, a seat on the board for life......

how convenient that Wenger has got "AGM week" off to a good start with a win at out of form Everton.
next up 3 of the easiest home fixtures all season - Norwich, Swansea and Red Star. Back to flat track bully mode, and the AKBs will have long forgotten Watford :roll:

then it is City away. Oh dear. Don't think it is hard to predict what will happen there. But yet again like the Liverpool away game Wenger will get away with it again with a timely international break.

the race for 4th (again) will start with the NLD derby on 18th November. Everything in between is just a filler.

If you read that article the thing that stands out is that Souness is NOT having a pop at Wenger, he's implying that he is only amazed that Wenger still has the passion for the job because the players are not good enough compared to previous squads. Nowhere in it is he critical of Wenger directly. :roll:

He will sign another two years after this two years...if this extension didn't end most people the next one will.

He has changed it for me already, missed several games and not even bothered to watch, same again with Norwich tonight ......

Tourists and day trippers hope you enjoy the Emirates experience.....Highbury days just a memory now....

His continued existence at the club has killed it for most real fans.

Good Beeb article on Watford.

http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/41710640

The bit that stuck out for me.

"The coach is an extremely important role but our view is to make sure that is all he has to concentrate on. We don't expect him to grow and develop the football club - that's what we do. He can concentrate on his core competency".

Meanwhile the manager at Arsenal is coach, accountant, scout, negotiator, champion cunnt etc.

Except he forgets about all of the other tasks apart from being the accountant. :roll:

We are dire a lot of the time with Ozil and Sanchez, imagine what we'll be like next season without them, Wenger is right about taking us to the next level, infact he might even take us two levels, unfortunately that would be levels down not up!.

I think it is getting to the point, perhaps even already there, that he will leave the club in a worse state than it was in when he arrived, forget all the bs about how the Emirates has moved us up in the world, has it really?, look at all the clubs around us getting new grounds, upgrades and their revenues are moving up as fast or faster than ours.

He gave us 6 great years but he's now been here 21.. he's stale, the club is stale from top to bottom and next season will be his last (hopefully) and we will have a shocking squad for anyone to build on and a structure in need of complete overhaul.

Then we have to rely on wiggy w*nker to show ambition once Wenger finally buggers off (10 years late).

Who wants first go with the revolver?. :suicide:

Agree 100% on both points. Complete and utter psychobabble (crap!!!!) from him yet again. His disrespect and contempt for us knows no bounds. And it's all about him :banghead:

I don't think I've ever disliked anyone involved in football quite as much as Wenger
